Well, it appears as if I haven't blogged in ages. My apologies.
Right now it's 8:30am, I had a pretty fantastic night of sleep (praise God for that), and I'm sitting next to a real, live (with actual flames!), nice and warm, fireplace. It's spring break. And I'm in California.
What a picturesque little moment, huh? You're right, it is, but I do assure you that the journey getting to the destination had a bit more of an edge to it. Mission Delirious, actually.
It all started Friday afternoon. Three college gals packed up one little honda to the brim, squeezed in, and then set off to Redding, CA. Destination for night one happened to be Kansas City. I happen to really enjoy KC, as I've been there several times, and I had even thought that this year was going to mark the first that I hadn't gone down to KC, as I had for the past two years being at Bethel. Guess not.
One of my friends, Tyler, offered us to stay with his parents who live just walking distance from the Prayer Room (through the International House of Prayer). When we had set off from Bethel earlier in the day, we had the idea in our heads that we'd be staying at Tyler's parents, but we still had not specific address or contact yet. And Tyler's phone was dead. About an hour and a half outside of KC, we received a call from Desiree, his mom, and were set for the night. It ended up being a great blessing, as they had three whole beds for each to us to have one! Wow. We also were able to spend some time in the Prayer Room both Friday night and Saturday morning.
Friday night was a special Hawaiian worship service. And it was awesome. "Your love's so high, high. Your love's so wide, wide. Your love's so long, long. Your love's so deep, deep." Dreadlocks. Chill music filled with Truth. Sons and daughters swaying to the beat.
What a blessing and an encouragement. Day one. Check.
