I was in awe after spending time at IHOP. I had never seen such devotion and passion. I listened to every bit of Mike Bickle teaching that I could get my hands on, and felt sick to my stomach every time. What I mean by that is the weight of his words felt like a ton of bricks in my stomach. Later, I learned that this is a trembling spirit, and it made sense because the Holy Spirit resides within you in the belly region. It was like the sqare peg round hole analogy. I felt like, this is the place for me. This is what I've been searching for. So, I went home, and asked Dan if we could sell all of our properties (4 total) immediatley, and move to Kansas City by January 2005. Of course, Dan thought I was crazy, but he did give me this consideration. He said, "If you are out of credit card, and school debt by January 2005, it would be a miracle, and I'll do it." I started praying for a miracle to the tune of $11,000. January came and went with no mother load of cash, so we stayed put. In the mean time, our life is still kind of up in the air because Dan was waiting to hear if and where he would go to medical school. Little did I know, some big changes, and miraculous events were just about to take place...
Shalom! Thanks for stopping by. Yes, I am so in love with what God is doing in KC! I consider myself a spiritual daughter of their ministry, and am forever grateful for how God has used them in my life.
Looking forward to reading your blog and getting to know you! Blessings!
