Hello beautiful ones!
My dearest friends I am so excited to know that all this week, every hour (almost!) we have someone praying from our community. I feel God drawing us closer in, and I am very much inside His presence I feel as we prepare for what is to come. I would love to hear how everyone’s time has been at the prayerhouse, so please share your stories with us…we’re off tonight (in the am!) for some worship and prayer time and I’m really excited!
Love you all,
-S-
hey there!
how awesome was that room – it was not at all what i imagined – jay and i both had a sweet time there on monday night – i really loved being so intentional with the process of prayer – the way they had it setup in the different booths – an hour was nowhere near long enough though…being in God’s presence while worshipping and praying, i wanted to stay for hours upon hours…jay and i were talking afterwards and think we will probably be frequenting that place more often…
my outlook on the world around me and my life from day to day is being transformed – its been happening for some time now, but slowly as i carelessly allow the day to day junk slow me down – but I know that God is molding me right now…really showing what is important and what isn’t and helping me to give up the things that arent and move closer to the things that are…
you all are so important to me – this community, our times together have been so sweet and given me so much joy – please please please lets start getting together on a more regular basis – i need you guys, i need to know you all and share my love & joys with you – i was designed to
so lets do it – doesnt matter where – we dont have to have a set place…but lets just do something – when is everyone most available?
My time in the 24/7 prayer facility was both sweet and a little bit difficult. Sweet because that place is so peaceful and the presence of the Lord is just there! in a real, quiet, but undeniable way! Jess is right- an hour was not enough time! i could go back often!
The Lord definitely met me there. I have told several people- i got stuck at the forgiveness booth, which is like one of the first ones! The Lord has been working in me for all of 2008 on this subject. It keeps coming back in my life, and my time with the Lord there brought some movement forward in that area. I am encouraged and yet provoked by that part of the experience. It is hard to just give up that thing that I am holding on to, and just live in the freedom of forgiveness- from the Lord, for myself, and for others.
It was also really special for David and I to take communion together in that little booth. We squished in there, staring at ourselves in that mirror, and taking the elements of the Lord’s supper. it was just this raw, intimate experience that i will cherish.
David really opened up with me about some things that are happening in his life spiritually and we had that space for him to share with me and for us to pray together, which is not something that we take the time to do very often (sadly so).
I know the Lord met us, as He has done on so many occasions, but to be so purposeful about meeting Him in that place made it just really effective. I am so excited to hear the stories of what the Lord has done in our community as a whole!
oh yeah. and we are on for getting together whenever, however. we love and need you all too!!
just name some dates and places and we will do our best to make our schedule accommodate!
or if you guys want to come our way to Fort Mill, we can swim and grill out and just hang if you guys are up for it! =)
