What is the significance of that date… well as with most things, it depends who you ask. For me it causes me to reminisce on the past two years. On 09.09.07 I was sitting in my Prophetic ministry class at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City,MO. Misty Edwards was speaking on how she had given God ten years of her life, she was then on year 8. She had completly surrendered to God, what she did, where she went, and she would’t date until the years were up. She wanted to know God inside & out. It struck me that night that while most Christians would tell you they also do this- they actually don’t. And standing before me was a woman who walked out every word she spoke. I longed for that with God. A relationship that close with God. I was so incredibly broken at that time. I was slowly regaining trust in God, trust in people and getting “over” an eating disorder. It was a long journey ahead and as Misty kept looking into my eyes as she spoke (it’s a small room) I prayed and surrendered the next 2 years of my life to God. To go where He wanted me to go, do what I felt I was called to, & not to date anyone. (Which upset a few people, long story) I’ve had MANY ups & downs, good & the bad and things that I NEVER thought I’d have to go through came 2 blocks from my front door. So tomorrow I look forward to a day spend with God, and thinking of how big my God really is. I love you all, enjoy 09.09.09, I know I will.
P.s. I miss IHOP ALOT!! Enjoy the ten year picnic everyone who is there!
