I stayed in Kansas City with the purpose of being in the prayer room and at the awakenings while working and earning money for the upcoming school year. Overall, my plan was an excellent one... only it seemed more excellent in my mind than what it actually turned out to be. I ended up working more hours than what I thought and wanting to spend less and less time in the prayer room or at the awakenings because I would work a full day at the daycare and then be all sweaty and tired from that, so I would continually put off the prayer room. As I realized that I was not doing the one thing that I had stayed in KC to do, I began to pray about it and ask the Lord to give me a desire to be in the awakenings and the prayer room and little by little over the summer He has done that. I got to a place where it was not enough to do what I was doing; I may be tired after a long day but I was MADE for loving and worshipping God in an intimate relationship. So no matter what I do or how I'm doing, I was made for Love and so that is what I am going to do: love Him.
I also learned this summer that God shows up in ways that are unexpected and He works in our hearts in ways that we cannot even feel, see or know. This is comforting because on the worst of days and in the worst of circumstances, I can rely on God that He is working for the benefit of those who trust in Him!!! This, my friends is good news :)
I leave for Colorado this Friday, and I will be there for a week, so if you think about it pray for safe travels as I will be driving there with a friend of mine. When I get back I will be going home for a week and then coming back to KC to start my second year of school at FSM.
Blessings to you all,
Whitney
