Here I am, Lord use me.

Ok so as most of everyone knows I am back to drilling again and so far it has been a pretty good experience. I had to do this last year and it was much less enjoyable. But anyway I have these guys working for me that are some of the greatest guys in the world. But I got to know a little bit more about one of them today on our way home from the rig. I had my I-pod on my radio in my truck and it was louder than normal because I thought that everyone was asleep(haha) and I was starting to get kinda tired since I get up at 2am everyday and don't even get off of work until 2pm but, anyway there we all were, I-pod playing my Christian Music playlist and one of the guys asks "Cody, what religion are you?" I said well I am a christian but am nondenominational. He just said, oh ok cool. And then we went on into a great discussion about what God has and is doing in our lives. What an amazing way to end a long week at work. I found out some very great things about this man's story just as he did about me as I opened my heart to him. Today's conversation was different than what you might think. This man was also a believer in the saving grace of God. I had heard that he believed in God and what not but little did I know that he shared my desire to know God intimately. I had no idea that there was another man that worked with me that had a heart like that. Today's discussion was so awesome. God grace and presence was so thick in that truck today that I can't wait for the next moment to share my story with another person.

I never thought that I would compare God with alcohol or tabacco but I am addicted to being so close to God that it feels as though He is carrying me as though I was the man in the poem "Footprints".
