My Twin Brother

So, for those who don't know, yes I have a twin brother. His name is Brandon, I call him "brother Brandon". He is about 4 or 5 inches taller and a few inches bigger round the waist as well, but mind you, he is nine minutes younger. So anyways, a few months ago some friends of ours planted a church in Mcomb Michigan. My brother had planned to move out there to help out with a few other guys to afford an apartment. Well I guess the guys bailed on him to finish school or something like that, so I think as far as Brandon thought, he didn't really know if it was going to even work out anymore. By the way, Brandon also does not own his own car, so that factors in here to pretty big. Well it had been a few months since all this went down and throughout those months, I personaly, as could others I spoke with, could see his want and really his need to move out there and be apart of this new church, but he really had no way of pulling it off, without a car and friends to help pay rent.
Well I got a message from him yesterday that I needed to call him asap cause he had some sweet news. This was unlike my brother...so i found a phone and rang him up...come to find out, a family told him they wanted to buy him a car! and that the pastor at the church really wanted brandon to be apart of what they were doing and said that he could live in their basement for as long as needed.
Holy cow when i heard this my heart was filled with much joy. praise God He is awesome...nothing better...none compares...Lord all we are is Yours, for the advancing of Your kingdom. Use my brother in mighty huge ways..fill him with Your Spirit and may he continue to fall head over heels deep in love with You JESUS!

Another note...check out this website i found. I really like it. Its like a daily guided prayer with a specific chosen verse w/ inspiration. Ive been reading one twice a day and its been great. These prayers for me make space, slow me down, and focus me at the beginning and end of my day. Sort of a labyrinth maybe. You could say a discursive style of meditation.

Hey son of this Mother of you twin Seth and Brandon. Just to inform you, as you have grown, Branon is only like a few inches, maybe 2" taller than you these days. I see you both as big, tall, strong men in the Lord, so you are equally great in God's sight, and mine, but... to throw that in there that you and Bran are not quite so diff in height, well, that's a Mother's job. So there. Love both you giants in the Lord. My Solomon and Daniel.
