Face to Face

I’ve been away too long.

It’s been weeks since I’ve spent any real time in the Prayer Room. A few Sundays ago I did come in for about 45 minutes one afternoon, but felt like God said to “go home”.

As I sit in the 6pm set, taking in Cory Asbury singing “Jesus, I love you. Jesus I adore You. You’re the One I want.” I can feel my heart being filled up all over again. There’s just something about this place that settles my spirit and brings me peace. Knowing that my God is real and that it’s perfectly “normal” to spend two hours worshipping Him does this body (mind and soul) good.

It’s not that things are super stressful at work or school, or that there are issues on the home front. It’s not that I’m all of a sudden feeling the loneliness that sometimes comes with being single and living far away from family. It’s not even that I haven’t been praying or reading my Bible (although I haven’t been doing that last one anywhere near as much as I should).

It’s kind of the feeling you get when you were hanging out with your bff every day for months, chatting and laughing, crying and figuring out the world together … then all of a sudden that friend moves to another state and the busyness of life sets in. All you’ve got is the telephone and email. When you get to be face to face with them again, it’s a sweet time.

That’s what I’m experiencing right now in the Prayer Room. Having face to face time with the best friend a girl could have … one that would lay down His life for her and remind her everyday that she’s beautiful and worth so much more than she knows.

How I’ve missed Him.
