The happenings at work

So, I did NOT want to go to work today, I was quite enjoying laying in my bed and peacefully chillin' out with Jesus. It felt like one of those days to just be with Him. Anyway, I went to work, and it was pretty much your average day - BUT when I went on my lunch break, I began speaking to a coworker. He just recently found out about my Christian Faith's 'intensity' and I can tell how hungry he is for more. Anyway, he likes to ask me lots of questions now. - So, we're sitting there and he starts off with 'I had no idea you were so into Religion and stuff" I said "I'm not. I don't like the word Religion, it instigates too many raw feelings in people because people don't like the rules and boundaries associated with the word...Personally, I'm not a fan of boundaries and rules either. I'm simply deeply in love with god and the man Christ and am willing to go miles for Him." His eyes were huge and and he replied, "THANK YOU" He just understood that it's a relationsip.

So, we carry on into the depths and meaning of a relationship, that it's not just a one way kind of deal, we can legit experience God. And he turns to me and says, "If you don't mind, do you have an actual experience of this that you can share?" My heart became incredibly glad at that question, I love to share God's love to others... As Peter continues to ramble on, I say, "Peter, stop! It's okay, I have the perfect encounter. This is by far my favourite one ever. It was the first time I fell in love withthe Lord. Some people prayed for me about 2 years ago and though it felt like 10-15 minutes... The encounter lasted nearly 2.5 hours."

I shared with him the first day I entered into the House of Prayer - "The Lord gathered me into His arms and set me on His lap. As we're rocking back and forth in a rocking chair, He's hugging me and stroking my hair, whispering how much He loves me, How precious I am in His sight, How near I am to His heart. It was the sweetest sound I had ever heard."

Peter's eyes were GIANT. He was so amazed, "No way! I've always believed in God and prayed and stuff but NEVER have I heard of anyone or met anyone that THAT has happened too. That's amazing. I have faith, but that personal experience means so much more!"

Praise God that He brought me to work today. Would the Glory be to Him who loved me so much that He would allow me to have an encounter that so many long for... An encounter that can be a light UNTO something greater. Halleluha and thanks be to Him who placed words in my mouth. Lord, open more doors and opportunities. Increase Peter's hunger TODAY, God, to go and search You out.

Great day.
