Stillness

   This week, our small group is doing an experiment of stillness in prayer. I am anxious/excited about that. Excited, as my soul is so craving this alone time with the Lord, but I'm anxious because I haven't spent time alone in so long (or really ever, if I think about it). What if God actually does something in those 20 minutes of silence with Him? Scary, right? I'm so thankful for getting to experience this kind of thing along side others, though.
   Things around 25th and Skillern are so busy! But busy in the best way possible. Several months ago, Kev and I thought this house was pretty much a curse. We hated it here. We asked God to help us use this house for His glory...and He has done just that. More times than not, there's always friends or family over. We have an amazing roommate, Melissa. There's prayer nights. There's dancing nights There's Halloween parties. Most importantly, God is here. It's so refreshing to get the focus off us and the house and its problems and onto those who come into it and how we can bless them.
  Hope you all have a great week and weekend. I'll leave you with some pictures from our Halloween party on Monday.
