i was greeted by my heart

Doing well here. sitting in my living room with a cup of chai, the windows open, and my lovely roommate myra next to me writing something I'm sure amazing in her journal.
life continues to be this little roller coaster of getting adjusted to all things kansas city. lots of new friends, new surroundings, and new patterns of life to get adjusted to. I confess i'm still trying to take it all in, feel comfortable in my skin here. I think it takes awhile for anyone who has moved somewhere new, and I often forget that.
today I spent some time in the prayer room and then went to my new God-spot. A nice woodsey river view out in Leewood park. Everything is blooming and gorgeous (my favorite is that God decided to make trees purple. Genius!) so I took my book out there and had a good ole time. after that I worked in the office trying to organize my way out of the still-getting-out-of-transitioning-adjusting boxes. While organizing I found a schedule of IHOP from 99. It had listed on it who was playing the harmonica on tuesday nights at 8pm, i found that funny. :) Then, went and got my car washed and took myself to Target (I love target) to find a present. Finally, went and met up with some friends and walked into the Awakening service tonight - where I was greeted by my heart.
I haven't felt it much lately, it's been a dry season to be sure. But tonight, I felt that thorn and pang of love growing inside of me for more of Jesus. Which is the whole reason I do what I do...more of Him. It felt good to be reminded of it in the midst of an ordinary day.
