Whirlwind of a Road Trip….

Last week I ventured on what would turn out to be a whirlwind of a road trip… Me, Corinne and Travis all piled into his little car and set out for Kansas to be part of my friend, Girl Kyle’s, wedding… When we returned home, we had quite the list of memories behind us…. including a veeeeery long road trip from South Carolina to Wichita (we drove straight through), spending a ton of time with my huge family (wow i love them), being part of Kyle’s wedding (2nd time being a bridesmaid this year), driving from Wichita to Kansas City (our car broke down on the highway and we had to get out and push it in the 107 degree weather – it’s funny now, wasn’t really at the time) spending time up at IHOP (finally got to meet Zack and Jared - they are way too cool! Plus my time in the prayer room was AMAZING) and the even longer road trip back home (didn’t sleep for 30 hours straight – delirium + really small car = really giggly and slightly cranky Jen).. All in all – it was a blast! And we came home to ZHOP where the Holy Spirit has decided to hang out with us all day every day… especially at night and let me tell you, I couldn’t be happier that He is here… I love, love, LOVE the Joy of the Lord!! In His presence is the fullness of joy and He came that our joy may be full… Ahh He is so good…

Special shout-out to Zack and Jared - 2 of the coolest guys at IHOP! I have gotten to know them over blog and e-mail over the past year or so and I finally got to meet them, spend hours in the prayer room praying with them and their nightwatch crew, then go hang out at the other IHOP and grub a little.. they entertained me beyond belief, I finally got to see Jared do the splits, got to hear Zack tell some crazy stories and watch Jared eat a spoonful of hot sauce… You guys are great and I definitely look forward to hanging out with you again in the future!
