Life is good in Kansas City. It's been fun exploring different areas of IHOP and ministry here. Last weekend I went to Bob Hartley's "Hope to the Heart." It was a conference that focused on adoring God as the primary language of prayer. This week I've gone to his prayer meetings at his business office in the mornings. It's been so encouraging. It’s great to see a business start the day—everyday—in prayer. I love seeing God in every area of life. Because I’m not going to be serving in the prayer room as staff I am longing to meet God in what I do. I’m excited to see how God will touch my patients as I start work next week.
Since moving out here I am not entirely sure where I am going to plug in. IHOP has so many different groups and ministries. I think I'll just be checking things out. It’s like I’m on a little expedition, searching out where I’ll be connecting. Before I would feel pressure thinking that I needed to know where I would plug in, but I am feeling none of those constraints. I know that as I live day to day He will guide me. It’s like when I first arrived at Rutgers close to 7 years ago; I was so happy to be in someplace new. I checked out the different campus ministries and it wasn’t until I unexpectedly walked in the doors of the Second Reformed Church that I found Harvest. What I thought was one church service turned into 6 years of friendship, discipleship, and family. That’s the beauty of following God. Simple obedience can yield a bounty of His goodness. I’m waiting for that moment again, that unexpected opening of a door, that stamps my life with goodness beyond anything I could plan.
And even if things don't "work-out" here in Kansas City at least I know I gave it a try and I have no regrets about it.
