Awakened Love
It is a rainy Saturday afternoon in Kansas City. Thunder was rumbling around the sky a few hours ago, and I have come to learn that the weather here is a bit unpredictable.
So far my two weeks in this place have been spent trying to get settled and spending time at the prayer room. It's where I am right now, actually. I am sitting at a table, but most of the room is rows of blue chairs. There is a stage, with a live band 24-hours a day. Right now the leader is playing one of his own songs, I think. There are two lead guitar players, a pianist, base player, another guitar, drummer, and about five back up singers. It is quite a full band. Oh, and a prayer leader.
Spending hours a day praying here is interesting, most of the time I try and focus, since there so much on stage to watch. I think the most profound moments I have had thus far, involve the Bible. Since moving here, I feel like the Word has just been opened up to me, like I am reading it from a new perspective. It's like it is a treasure map, and hidden within are secretes for me alone to discover. I can not get over how powerful it is to just read piece of the Word over and over. I really feel it changing me inside. My heart is set on prayer. I want to be a resting place for God. He longs for a place to dwell, so I want to give Him my soul. That is my inner desire, above all else I want to know God, and the secretes of His heart.
Ephesians 3:9 "...and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ."
My journey is set of diving into the deep of God and searching out His mysteries. They have been hidden in Him for ages....that means millions and millions of years. Wow, I can't believe I get the chance to see such truth.
I start my new job on Monday and I excited to see how it goes. I am looking forward to some type of schedule. I still have lots to do in my apartment and shopping for a working girl wardrobe....but it will all come with time.....
