FASCINATE! ‘08

Posted in IHOP-KC tagged , , , at 11:33 pm by Melanie

Ever since I got back from IHOP-KC yesterday, I’ve been trying to figure out what to write here.

Should I say that I was completly entranced and enraptured by God?

That Satan came after me so hard that at times I felt like I would faint?

That I realized I have no idea at all of the person that I am?

They would all be valid points but none of them are the ones I’m trying to make. I was lucky enough to go through the hardest part of my journey with a group of people that I love wholeheartedily. All this time I felt like I was alone with running after God so hard. But there’s this amazing group of people who desire to know him just as much as I do. It’s amazing and strangely edifying. The last 5 days have been the most interesting ones of my life.

I may have completely shirked some of the responsibilities that God has bestowed upon me, but in my failure I grew. I may have been earnestly attacked by Satan but I learned my power against him. I may have had some of the scariest visions I’ve ever experienced but I saw the purpose at the end of this dark road.


It was the worst weekend of my life. But it’s the most important lesson I’ve ever learned.

the first day of the rest of my life

I graduated. That’s right! I did it.

It really sucks that half of the amazing friends I made, I only really got to know during the last few months. And now they’re ripped away. I’ll probably never see them again. And I’m sad.

Yesterday blew. After graduation, my heart descended into this really deep depressive state. I didn’t even enjoy my little graduation get together. Emily invited me over and I was physically incapable of going.

I’m not going to be afraid anymore.
