I have been at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City since June 2003. I moved two weeks after graduating from high school and have since fallen in love with Jesus. While stumbling through life and relationships over the last five years I have discovered my dependency on, and the necessity of, prayer. I am longing for the day that I become what I was made to be in Christ. In the mean time I fast and pray.
Though I have called the Prayer Room home for five years, I don’t plan on being in Kansas City forever (we shall see what the Lord adds to that plan). I am a perpetual student – I want to know about everything and everyone. If the money was available I would spend the next 20 years auditing courses at various universities. Since that seems an unlikely possibility, I am planning on finishing my undergrad sometime in the next five years. I don’t yet have a burning desire (or vision) to go back. So I continue on in this life of fasting and prayer.

My 23 year old self enjoys art and reading. I people watch. I am one of the most introverted people you will ever meet. The chin is currently my favorite part of the body (it changes periodically). I would like to adopt someday. Groups of more than four cause me stress. As a former Night Watcher, I have a tendency to stay up too late. Lima beans are amazing. I (heart) my punching bag. Coffee is a habit I must learn to kick. I dance while no one is watching. A good day is a day in which I feed people. I like secrets. If I were an inanimate object I would be a mirror. I dislike snow.
I am a ridiculous person. I really do like it that way.
Wherever I am, whatever I am doing, I want to be a person who prays. I want to see the world change, not by human endeavor or emotion, but by the very hand of God and the power of the Spirit.
And now I am one who blogs…
“Coffee is a habit I must learn to kick.”
Did you mean to say, “Coffee is the habit that makes me tick?” That would make more sense.
Have a nice day !
Oh, please.
Coffee is not a habit.
It is a way of life!
A delicious way of life, may I add.
Enjoy your coffee! Hooray!
You seem to have your head screwed in the right direction and you have thought out quite clearly what you want to do with your life. you need not be anxious and stressed when you are with more than 4 persons. With your values you can stand tall in any group.
Why thank you, novice101. The introvert in me will always battle with large groups but I have gotten much, much better at handling those situations well.
This may be one of the most captivating About pages I have ever read. It captivates, not with its complexity or profundity (though is both complex and profound) but with its honesty and beauty.

Do you know Krysta Montagne? She is at IHOP and she is one of the most extreme extroverts. Regardless, you must love her.
Grace and Peace
I don’t think I do know Krysta. Though if she is indeed one of the most extreme extroverts I’ve probably spent most of my time here inadvertently avoiding her…
