So it was early spring and i was volunteering in a local high school, when a young man came up and asked me to read his paper, proof read he called it. So i did so, and corrected many grammatical errors, but he was a freshmen so it was expected. When i told him that i would send over a paper i had wrote for a college professor to see the format and

Hey, you don't know me, I just stumbled over your blog tonight... And I think I should share some of my thoughts concerning this situation you're into. First of all, I'm praying for your friend to find the way home and I'm asking God that He will help you to continue to reach out to him. Don't lose hope.... After I was saved I felt so happy and I knew that everything was alright and I was so close to God. But then somehow I turned away from Him. I don't know why. Not even now. I guess you're familiar with what Jesus told about the seed that fell among the thorns. This was how it was like. My everyday life was more important than God. And it felt horrible. You know, before my salvation I was lonely, I thought I would not be good enough... Then Jesus came into my life and everything was perfect. But then I wasn't feeling that anymore. That was the worst time I ever had. Because I had experienced God's love once and felt completely lost without it.

To the anonymous user, i do appreciate the testimony you shared in your reply to my post. It has many strong points that I needed to think on. It always allows me to remember those times i have also put God out or tried to ignore Him, but He always seems to venture back in regardless, when we put Him first. I believe that is the struggle for my friend, he don't know how to put God first in his life. He wants to but is afraid of the imbarrassment or possibly peer pressure from other guys. I did follow up on him tonight and things are going a little easier, but it's only through the mighty work of my Father's hand that this will happen. I prayed with him and i believe that as long as he is constantly reminded what Christ did on the cross he may come around. I praise God for you stumbling onto my message, and thank you so much for the encouragement, dispite the other struggles in life i am chasing myself through. Thanks for your prayers and your posts, it means so much. God Bless you, Darren.

i didnt even know you could nudge people...
speaking of Jamaicans, I've been listening to reggae music by a guy named Matisyahu, basically he has one song and the others are crap. He's an interesting artist though, Jewish, and he adheres to the laws of Judaism, most of his songs are about the Old Testament religion.
As far as your friend is concerned, don't worry about it, just do what you've been doing, continue to build him up with your words and actions and hopefully he'll come to recognize that you love him more than the other people in his life, and he'll be open to being "transformed" (Romans12)
