A burning heart

You know that feeling that happens at retreats or conferences or even just a really great time of worship? It's somewhat warm and fuzzy - your spirit just feels alive. A "spiritual high" if you will. And usually that feeling goes away after a couple of hours or a couple of days.

That feeling changed for me this week. It's not like I've had some crazy incredible week in which everything went right and I'm super happy. In some ways, it was actually rather mundane. But somehow I encountered God this week - and God encountered me. And my burning heart hasn't faded.

In several classes it was hard to sit still or pay attention - not because I was bored, but because all I wanted to do was get back to my room or to a secluded place and worship. I was dying to fall on my face and just be in the presence of God. I've never had this feeling, this need to worship sustained over such a long period of time.

It's incredible.

And I pray that it ignites others.
