Digging My Own Well

You know, there a lot of things I enjoy. TV. NCIS. Jay. Friends. Family. Pepsi. M&M's. Chocolate Chip Cookies.

However, above all those things, I enjoy worship in a corporate setting. I realize worship means different things to different people. For me, corporate worship in music is how I connect with God.

I have spent the past 12.5 years of my life growing in God. From a dorm room at PSU, to living near and being a part of IHOP-KC, I've seen a lot of things, and experienced God in many different ways. The amazing thing about God is that there is always something new in Him and always something to be discovered and learned. He rarely does the same thing twice.

A former pastor of mine used to say "Dig your own well and have your own experience in God." That has stuck with me for several years, and helped me as I've tried to figure things out, when sometimes it's not up to us to figure it out, it's up to us to simply walk by faith.

In the past month, the IHOP Awakening has taken me to a new place. It has taken me to a deeper, and more exciting place.

Tonight after having a blast driving the shuttle, I went in to the service. And, I LOVED every minute of it. We had deep, intimate worship, and then we had dancing and celebrating in the Lord. I jumped in and had a BLAST. By the time I left, I had sweat dripping from my forehead and down by back. It was AWESOME.

I realize my experience is my own, and it's up to everyone to have their own individual experience in God. However, I find it AMAZING what happens when hungry people get together and worship together.

I would say that's my favorite "thing" to do this side of heaven. And, in the midst of that, I am digging my own well, and having my own experience in God...

Life.
Is.
JOYOUS.
In walking with the Lord.
