To all of those who read my blog regularly, sorry for not posting anything lately. Although I've been in the prayer room a lot, which has free access to the internet, I have had a hard time sitting down and penning my thoughts. Partly because there are too many to pen, and partly because I have had a challenging time making sense of them all. I guess the first chunk of time I've spent here has been a time of defraging my soul and spirit. I am at peace, but God is also shifting some of my paradigms, which is not always painless.

Let me just say, for the record, that I love being at IHOP. During the last few encounter services, I have gotten completely messed up, especially the night that Dave Sliker from IHOP KC preached. I do not by any means have a grasp of this whole house of prayer thing, but what I DO know is that I DON'T know what I've gotten myself into. I also am beginning to realize that the whole vision is bigger than just Atlanta. Well, I guess I knew that to a certain extent, or I wouldn't have spent 9 months in DC crying out for our nation. But, it's even bigger than just America. Well, I guess I knew that too, or I wouldn't have gone on all those mission trips overseas and God wouldn't have put it in my heart to speak Spanish & love those who speak it. The new aspect that I am just beginning to understand is that God wants to bring revival to the Church to drive the Jews to a holy jealousy, that Israel would be saved! I love it!

So, with all that being said, plus the added realization (partially) of who God has created me to be, I believe that it is quite possible that being in this House could be my life's calling. There, I said it. I feel better now. I am really just taking things day by day, but I can truly say that I have never, ever been as excited to wake up and go to "work" every day as I am now. I am just excited to even get up. Besides being in DC, I can't remember ever feeling like this on a consistent basis.

Thank you, Lord, for allowing me to be a part of what you are doing in Atlanta and on this earth. I honor and praise You for who You are and that You LOVE to LOVE.
