Coffee and Love

I just want to say straight up--
GOD IS SO GOOD. And it's Crazy.
I have been at IHOP for about a month now, and God has made every day count. Every day when I draw near to Him, He is faithful to shine the light of His face on me.
He has shown me so many thing that I either never knew, or did not have the guts to believe. Like how He loves me, and not only that-- but He LIKES me.
Last night I had such a revelation of His love for me. Don't get me wrong, I have always 'known' that God loves me, but last night my heart believed if for the first time. The weight of the world that I have been caring around for the last 19+ years, has fallen off. I feel like Christian in Pilgrims Progress-- my weight fell of and rolled away. So many times over the years God tried to help me with my burdens, but I would never full let Him, sure I would let Him hold them for a moment or two, but never GIVE it to Him. And last night, His love overcame my heart, and I knew that He was trustworthy, so I gave them to Him. I am free. Every day I have to remember that He is my all. He is the one who gives me the strength to do anything.
And it's crazy. HE IS SO GOOD. I encourage you to lean upon God with all that you are. No matter how scary it seems to let Him in to the deepest (and most painful) parts of your heart, but you will never regret it. Never.
Today God wants to encounter you with His love. Not only so that you will Know it, but that your Heart will feel it and know it as sure as your next heartbeat.
On the practical side, I love IHOP, but am not sure that I am called to do the second track in Fire In The Night. (Which means that I would be done when I come home for Christmas)
Also, I really want to go to the Onething conference this year-- and it would be super fun to get a whole bunch of people to go... so you should be thinking... and you should come.
I miss all of my Lovely people-- you, my friends and family... but when I miss you I pray for you. So you all get a lot of prayer. But let me know how I can be praying for people!
I spent about six hours a night in the prayer room, and guess what I do-- Pray! That's right! :D
Oh I love you all so much. Know that right now my heart is leaping for joy and I am giving you huge mental hugs!
Love you all with all that I am!
