ah. it's nice to be back in charlotte. I'm glad I got to see family, however, i missed mine here terribly. I think I called way too many people the past couple of days trying to hear all the latest news with zhop.
which happens to be a lot in one week. wow.
Today I woke up thinking that it was another day other than Thursday, which happens to be everyone's day off. Here I was all excited to pray/paint/whatever and lo and behold - it's the one day during the week in which none of these things will be happening. Ah well. My Bible, me, and my bed needed to have a little date anyway.
I learned a lot while I was gone about becoming prayer in the everyday things. I think I have the tendency to subconciously believe that since I'm away from the house of prayer that I get to slack on my prayer life or that God's presence can't be as near because I'm not in a prayer room...WRONG.
Before I left to go back to Springfield, I had a dream in which I heard the Lord saying to make myself available to Him - no matter when. And in some ways I did that this week. For instance, I found myself in a conversation with my sister, a friend that works @ barnes and noble, and this complete stranger in Barnes and Noble. All the sudden I hear loudly in my heart something from the Lord to say to the complete stranger. So I did. She was surprised and taken back. She wrote down what I said and said in a voice of unbelief, "thankyou!". It was good to walk out my lifestyle in the middle of Christmas shopping. I'm seeing how absolutely important it is as well.

That's awesome, Jen! A total encouragement to my heart.. I have had the same thoughts go through my head about the slackness away from the prayer room - something the Lord is totally changing in my heart and it is begining to change my life altogether. I'm so glad you're back!!! It was so stinking good to see you last night - lets hang out ASAP!!
Good to have you back....you should have stayed longer to scrapped floors yesterday
