Resistance Chapter 5: Hungry For God, a jimmy neutron fanfic

"K." Cindy headed toward the gymnasium, overhearing the teens talk about how lucky they were to have a day off of class work, she also heard a few of the church goers asking each other how Principal Sandlake, who had said no to starting up Club 121, would allow a day of prayer. Perfect. When Cindy arrived at the gymnasium already about 100 of the 1000 students were seated around the flagpole, which Cindy assumed Vice Principal Blockwest had brought in. Most of them were huddled in groups of 5-7 praying aloud, mainly for the principle and for how lucky they were to get a day off.

No later than one minute later Cindy heard Hungry playing in the background over the intercom, pretty clearly too. It was quiet at first, but then Jimmy apparently turned it up to a medium volume. Soon after Hungry started Jimmy rushed into the gymnasium, and another 100-150 teens came in and either bowed down, or stood heads down. Once Cindy saw Jimmy she raced over to him and gave him a kiss, "can you believe it?"

"The number of kids participating or your kissing me?" Jimmy said; Cindy blushed. "Well, the answer no matter what the question was is no. Let's go find our group." It wasn't very hard a task to complete, while most of the kids paired off, or in small groups, Jimmy and Cindy's group was a total of about eleven kids. Stacey, Dani, Shayna, Shelby, Libby, Sheen, Car, Brittany, and their newest member Heather were already in a rather large circle, hand in hand. Cindy and Jimmy squeezed in, side-by-side, in between Shayna and Dani. They all made room and went around the circle praying; and listening to the song in the background.

Hungry I come to you

For I know you satisfy

I am empty

But I know your love does not run dry

And I wait

So I wait for you

Chorus

I'm falling on my knees

Offering all of me

Jesus, You're all this heart is living for

Broken I run to you

For Your arms are open wide

I am weary but I know your touch restores my life

So I'll wait for you

I'm falling on my knees

Offering all of me

Jesus, You're all this heart is living for

Oh, I'm falling on my knees

Offering all of me

Jesus, You're all this heart is living for

And I wait for you

And I wait

I'm falling on my knees

Offering all of me

Jesus, You're all this heart is living for

Oh, I'm falling on my knees

Offering all of me

Jesus, You're all this heart is living for

Hungry I come to you,

For I know you satisfy

After about an hour of prayer request after prayer request after praise after praise, and about 10 times around the circle, Vice Principal got on the microphone and read, or more or less recited 1 Chronicles 7:14

"'For if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their land.'" Nothing more was said, nothing more needed to be said. Everyone went back to his or her prayer groups; most were sitting down so they just turned their heads. Again everyone went back to praying, but not for long.

About ten minutes, Cindy guessed, but who knew, time was non-existent as far as she, or most of the student body was concerned; somewhere on the opposite side of the gymnasium started singing Spoken For, it quickly caught on and those who didn't know it only sung the chorus, while everyone else sang the verses. It was somewhere in the first verse when it reached Cindy's ears. She joined in singing it.

"' I am finally free

My heart is spoken for

Oh and I praise you

Oh and I worship you...

CHORUS:

Covered by your love divine

Child of the risen Lord

To hear you say "This one's mine"

My heart is spoken for

Now I have a peace

I've never known before

I find myself complete

My heart is spoken for

Oh and I praise you

Oh and I worship you...

CHORUS:

Covered by your love divine

Child of the risen Lord

To hear you say "This one's mine"

My heart is spoken for

CHORUS:

Covered by your love divine

Child of the risen Lord

To hear you say "This one's mine"

My heart is spoken for

2X

Take this world from me

Don't need it anymore...

The whole school sang the chorus an additional ten to twenty times and then stopped, went back to praying, and began to sing Breathe. Cindy and the rest of her group stood up and sang with the rest.

This is the air I breathe

Your holy presence

Living in me

This is my daily bread,

Your very word

Spoken to me

And I…. I'm desperate for you

And I…. I'm lost without you

Again, as with Spoken For the school repeated the chorus about 15-20 times, if not more. Cindy saw something move out of the corner of her eye and stood on her tiptoes to see what it was. What she saw surprised her, a group of about ten kids were crowded around Blockwest and a additional 10-15 standing on the side trying to get to the vise-principal. Cindy nudged Jimmy, who nudged Shayna while Cindy nudged Dani who nudged Stacey and the five of them left the group to go help Blockwest.

"Hey, need any help?"

"Actually, that would be very much appreciated, can you get that group behind me, take them to the far corner, tell me if you need any help at all, ok?"

"We got it!" Cindy said, "If Shayna or Dani can't answer a question, we are really in trouble." Cindy joked. Since they had moved to Retroville two years ago it had been the group joke that if you had a question relating to God, you go ask Dani or Shayna, they both seemed to be biblical experts to the rest of the group from day one. And since becoming friends with each other, and Stacey they had sharpened each other's faith even more. Shayna's little sister, Shelby, was pretty good, and getting better, but being a year younger than the rest usually looked to one of the older kids for encouragement and knowledge.

"Ok then, they're all yours." Blockwest went back to his little group and the five teens walked away towards the far corner, followed by the other group, anxious to question the teens, and see what they were getting at.
