Jesus Christ, who is the son of God, began ministering when He was baptized at the age of 30. He then ministered for 3 years, after which the prophecies made 700 years before the beginning of His life were fulfilled and He died for the sins of man.
Today I was on the bus coming home from school. I had a funny day. My last period was with this cat that I've been talking about in my previous blogs. And today I think I repelled her once and for all. Now I don't have to worry and can talk to her without any weirdness. So then after my fourth block and having the principal announce and cry over turning from a C to a D school, I was off to Mr. Vincent's portable for the Mu Alpha Theta meeting. Right when I walked in I was so entertained by God's beautiful sky and the things happening around me that coordinated that I didn't prepare a speech in my mind or on paper prior. So when I walked in there I just did it. I was so inspired by the sky. By God's wonderous creation. I wrote MATH on the board and made an acrostic and made a long speech on the importance of math and the club's future after I'm gone. So then everyone laughed and seemed to have fun, but there were only 5 questions on the competition sign-up sheet. "Great job, you guys!" I said in a sarcastic manner. Anywho, after the Mu meeting I attempted to tutor a certain female in Trig but forgot all of my math and that was sort of weird. So then I had to catch the bus before it left and I caught it. Today I was naturally concerned about what others around me were saying and put off going into my meditative state in God's words for a few moments. I began to talk to the people and laugh. Then the whole bus went quiet as the loudest girl talked about going to IHOP today. Apparently, everyone that had a car either went to IHOP or McDonalds on the FCAT practice because they tried to seat everyone in the auditorium. They had good business because of it, only one of the girls tried to run off without paying after realizing she didn't have any money. So she ran off and a worker tried to stop her and was almost run over by her, but he copied her license plate number. So they traced it and found out that Bogie was the offending school. Bogie's rank went from a C to a D school and then afterwards they were talking about it on the bus because some of the juniors were there at the restaurants too.
She told of how when they left they were turned in and snitched on each other. I had the words of the Lord in my hand at the time, nestled by my Calculus book. I looked up and listened to her story and I suppose people thought that was odd of me since I usually ignore everything and concentrate on the words of the Lord and kept that in mind. So then I knew I was about to receive influence from the Holy Spirit when I started speaking loudly and I told her... "So which of the two is the lesser of the two evils?" And I repeated that because I wasn't heard. And then one of them said, "Hey everyone! Quiet! Isaac has something to say." So I said what I said again, then, "Was it running off with the bill or snitching on your friends for going to IHOP?" Then they murmured and I said, "the answer is neither of the two. They're both evil. You shouldn't have gone to IHOP in the first place and should have done the right thing, but you did the right thing by going to Mr. Leanes", who is the school's principal, "and asking for his forgiveness. So long as you sincerely ask for forgiveness, it doesn't matter what you've done and that's why he forgave you and let you go." I said something else as well, such as, "Did you learn something from this? Well then if you gained knowledge from it then you've walked away with something more valuable than..." Then I was drowned out. What I should have added at the time was, "the girl that drove off without paying didn't ask the principal for forgiveness, so what do you think would happen to her?" or something along those lines. But one girl figured out that it was a parable and that I was alluding to the Holy words of the Lord. I pointed her out and told her that she was sharp. But my own excitement from having said something that was of the Holy Spirit prevented me from saying the last part of the parable, which was an important part. :-( They were listening attentively for an entire 20 seconds or more! I'm disappointed in myself for that. I shouldn't have let my humility go. I suppose it was because they went dead silent when I wanted to say something and that was surprising to me! But it went to my head. It wasn't me that did it. It was the Holy Spirit's effect on them. For this reason I am disappointed. I can't yet minister. I wont. I don't want myself to be a deceptor. For this reason, I will continue to gain God's knowledge so that I can teach those that desire to know the truth what God wants them to know and so that God can do His work through me without any of me interfering. I hope that a seed was planted in someone today. I saw a few glistening eyes as I spoke and a few surprised looks. I think they realized what I was alluding to, but if I've helped God in any way then I'm very happy. But there's my mistake. It wasn't me doing it. Many times have I stood up to say something and have been drowned out. It was the Holy Spirit. Because I was going to say something directly related to a parable that Jesus taught, in the way Jesus taught it. And God wanted them to know because they were sophomores and freshmen and juniors and He wanted to do that through me. But I got in the way. The next time, I wont allow that to happen. The next time will be different.
