12 years ago today...

Today is a rather special day for me, as February 7, 1997 I became a Christian. I always try to spend February 7th doing something special. Well, last year that didn't happen because I had a Colonoscopy! Well, today was definately special for me. I got to spend the afternoon in the prayer room, and then Laura and I hung out.

I have come to really appreciate good friends over the past several months, and I couldn't have chosen a better friend to run this race with than Laura. And, I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend the day.

As I sat in the Prayer Room today, I reflected on my 12 years with the Lord, and how far I've come in those twelve years. I thought about the mistakes I've made, but focused on what I've gained in those twelve years. And, I was amazed at what all I've learned over the years. I also thought about how twelve years went by so fast. It seems as if it was only yesterday that I sat in my dorm room and gave my heart to Christ, and here I am 12 years later and wonder where all that time went.

I am so thankful that God introduced me to the House of Prayer in Kansas City. I don't think I would be as close to the Lord if I didn't have a place to go and just soak. I realize that for most of my readers this won't make a lick of sense, and I'm okay with that. Everyone has a place they connect with God and mine just happens to be at IHOP-KC.

So, today was a very very very good day.

Guess where I'm headed tomorrow? You'll never guess!
