Day 2 at IHOP

I spent more time in the prayer room after our meetings in the morning and then Kristi, Steph & I went to Panera for lunch, which was really good! I had an excellent salmon salad with broccoli cheese soup - yummy! Then we browsed at Bath & Body before speeding back to IHOP to get in on a briefing before a prayer set. At IHOP, every team has a 20 minute or so meeting beforehand where they discuss details about the set, the passage of scripture they'll be praying and singing about and any technical items relating to music and format. So it was neat to hear how they do their briefing and to get even more insight into how they do things here. Then we got to enjoy the set and were invited to attend the briefing for the next set as well. So, we went to another briefing and then stayed for the debriefing of the previous set - are you still following?? The first briefing and then the debrief were for Sada Rogers set, the gal we met with in the morning, so that was cool. Her team was really funny and as she put it - "quirky". We definitely laughed a lot - it was quite hilarious and entertaining while also being educational on some more aspects of the harp and bowl model of prayer. After that, it was more time in the prayer room and then I came back to Joyska's place and hung out with her for a while, blogged a bit on my devotional blog and then went back to the prayer room around 10pm and stayed until I started to fall asleep. :) All in all, it was a full and fun day! Only one more day left! So, I'm heading to the prayer room right now to soak it in...

P.S. (The weather here has been AMAZING! It was supposed to rain the whole time we were here, but it hasn't rained at all yet and it's been gorgeous and warm! It's rather humid too & with the very happy and chirpy birds, it kind of makes me feel like I'm in a jungle! haha - Definitely wish we could bring some of this weather back home with us!)
