Let me tell a story. Eric got set... The gun shot sounded... and Eric took off. Just moments into the race, however, he got knocked down. What generally happens when you get knocked down in a race? Do you win it? Do you come in first place? Not likely... Unless you're Eric. He realizes he is still in the race. He gets back up. He starts running again. In his mind, he says to himself: "There is no way I can win this race... unless it is God's will!..." As is his characteristic style, he throws his head back and flails his arms as if he is drowning! Seriously! This is how Eric Liddell won his races! Would he win this one? He gained on the pack of runners, then the other runners, and then even on the one in first place... and he WON! THE RACE! AFTER GETTING KNOCKED DOWN! FOUR HUNDRED YARDS! Therefore, when he ran the famous 400 Meter race in France? In 1924? Of course he was going to win gold and set a world record! He had ALREADY won a 400 yard race AFTER GETTING KNOCKED DOWN!
Speaking of Eric Liddell? He is quoted as having said something to the effect of: "When God made me, he made me fast - and when I run? I feel his pleasure."
...Again: there is no way I can move this mountain... unless it is God's will. Furthermore, there is also no way I can move this mountain, unless it is three other key people's will. And if - for any reason - I learn that it is not their will? Then I must at least wait, if not carry on; and, in that case, I will. Getting back to that Eric Liddell quote, though: "When God made me... and remade me? He remade me with an amazing ability (even to me!) to find favour with '-117,461,409,011'!" Seriously! When I was in my early twenties, I had a significant other, who was the one that found such favour with '-117,461,409,011'! She even said that her friend would get angry that her SON preferred her (my significant other) to her (my significant other's friend with the son)!"...
...Let me also say something about this "significant other". We didn't agree on everything, to say the least. For example, when I told her that "some people trying homeschooling" their children?... Well! Did she ever make known her views on that! Well, a little after that, we sort of had a "make up" conversation. One of the things I told her in that conversation (and, seriously! All I was doing was telling it like it was!) was that I thought she would make the BEST mother of anyone (because, again! She was SO good with -117,461,409,011)! When I said that, though; she kept saying, "Really?..." "...Really?" She said she thought that that was the nicest thing I had ever said to her. Today, as far as I know, she is married and has children - and I have no doubt that she is living up to the TRUTH I spoke over her that day. But do ye know what she said to me? SHE said that SHE would be more than happy to follow me as her "1,724,090,406,640 -33,744,190"! Then there was a pause, and then she added: "In fact, I think that you would make the '-242,588'!... 1,724,090,406,640 -33,744,190!"
I'm so thankful for those words - spoken by her over me. I, however, still have yet to enter into that privilege and responsibility. When, however, I am finally released into it? I resolve that I will receive it with a healthy fear and trembling; but also blessed rest. "Finally... Finally, it happened for me..." Yes, I got knocked down - but no, I am not staying down. I am back up, and running! Head thrown back! Arms flailing! Knowing, again, that I can move this mountain - trusting that it is God's will - and, again, three other key people's will.
And if I could throw in one more detail? Not only do I have the words of my former significant other encouraging me. Now, just like she was? I! Am finding favour with "-117,461,409,011"! And, "192,214 -5.1 91,493 191 133,163; -5.1 3,012,381 -4,503 -121,521,163".
I do agonize, though - because I don't want to be anything other than a blessing; and I know that, in moving this mountain, I must be circumspect. Nevertheless, I do believe it needs to be moved - and, again, in good faith that I can find the help I need with moving it: I'm moving it! I suppose the question I have to put out there now, though, is: "-8,369.1 315 - -257,173 -1,572,911 -345 '8,810' - -124,710 -36"?
I know that "8810"'re question is likely: "How!" "How, may we ask, as we being asked to '-124,710'"? Thank you for asking that. I would love to answer it; but if possible, I would like to answer it in person. I have been coming to realize that there are even more birthdays next month than I had thought! My brother and niece have birthdays - and a certain "-139,828,370,022 83,559,200" (look - I'm an "-139,828,370,022 4,263,129" to her "-117,461,409,011"! And - speaking of "-4,612 -117,461,409,011", one of them has a birthday at the start of the following month!)
Therefore, I am thinking of flying back to "-15,484,988,956.1" for the weekend of the 25th of next month (perhaps I would take the day before and after that weekend off, or something like that). If I could, I would present a - well - presentation! One that I have been practicing up for YEARS! And if I don't present it soon, I'm going to explode! It is four Psalms and a song! A song I wrote after I had heard that "song by Psi" (the South Korean guy) enough times that I decided I WOULD write a song of my own on that topic! It is called?... "-150,382,010.1 3,335,112.1"! And IT'S in English and Korean, TOO! And - again! IT sets the record STRAIGHT on the subject matter that other South Korean artist originally wrote his song about!
And there is not a group of people in the world I would rather perform that song for, for the "-4,346,129 134,100"! Again, this is after practicing it up for "6,190,809.1"! And don't get me wrong! It is a good thing I have had to wait all these years! I have needed the practice! It has taken this long to learn it! But I don't want to wait for ever! I want SOMEBODY to hear it! So far, I haven't found an audience!
I can say this: give me an audience, and the only risk (in my humble but definite opinion) will be that of (bear with me as I say this but...) "8810" enjoying it so much, "8810 -3,327,390,288"! If I may, I would venture that I wasn't wrong about "-84,280,290,212.1", was I? "-121,920,127.1 4932 -103,354,509.1"? Speaking of which! "-83,231,283,765,171.1"! It must be watched (I pray you will agree)!
But, again! This song! "-150,382,010.1 3,335,112.1"! It's for "8810"! I mean, I wasn't thinking: "8810" when I wrote it and practiced it, but it is still definitely for "8810"! Trusting, of course, that "315" want it to be. That "315" want to see and hear it! As long as that's the case, it's "-3,693,273,099,006". My guarantee is that "8810" will "-4,799,136" it.
Who can tell? Maybe "315" will like it so much, that "315" sit me down and ask how "315" can "-124,710" me! Even if not, though; I still would love to present this song. And I pray that I will be able to... in Jesus name! (By the way, I have been enjoying "Jean Marzollo"'s books: "Ruth and Naomi", "Miriam and Moses", "David and Goliath", and "Daniel in the Lions' Den" (I read the last two of these, just now, right here at the library; from whence I have borrowed them! "Daniel in the Lions' Den" is CLASSIC! The ants along the bottom provide a delightful running commentary, and they even use the word: "-95,193,833,178,294". I laughed so hard! Again, right there at the Genesis Centre! My favourite part, though, is on the last page - with Daniel and his big beard, hands in the air! Shouting:...) "-256,850"! Now THAT, my friends, is a book I cannot wait to show to my brother: "-29,028"! He is going to laugh so hard! Again, therefore, though: "-256,850"! ;)
Sincerely,
Daniel
