My Favorite Place on the Planet...STILL!

I have spent this week at work, getting a classroom ready and have had little time for just me. So, tonight I came home and decided I was going to go to IHOP for the Prayer Room Session after EGS. I relaxed a bit, spoiling Jay, took him out, gave him a treat, and left.

I spent two hours in the prayer room as Matt Gilman led worship. I stood there and thought, "Why haven't I made time for this?" Seriously. I know that once school gets underway and we're in a routine, going to IHOP will be much easier. However, that being said just reinforces the point I should be going now. I'm so much more patient, in a better mood, and at peace after I go. So, I think I am going to really think through my schedule and pick two or three evenings to go after work and soak a bit.

Matt Gilman led my favorite chorus tonight, "My soul longs for, you lord in a dry, and weary land..." And, I felt that more than I've felt anything in worship in a long time. Gosh it feels GREAT to feel emotion on a such a deep level again. Seriously...

I tell ya, IHOP-KC is STILL my favorite place on the planet!!!

Life.
Is.
Good.
