LAHOP

We made it to LAHOP in Monroe, LA yesterday early afternoon! We are so blessed to be resting here in the presence of God. LAHOP is run by Rick and Cyndi Cloud and their daughters Jennifer and Julie. They purchased a small house a few blocks from their own where the house of prayer resides. Whether through live worship sets, recorded music, or the KC-IHOP webcast, LAHOP maintains the sweet presence of the Lord 24/7. We are blessed to be sleeping in a lovely bedroom just off of the prayer room.

As I write, John is playing a set and Elia is sitting at his feet in her car seat soaking up the beauty and goodness of the Lord. Last night John played awhile before bed. I was giving Elia her bottle in the PR just before he sat down to sing. The minute he started playing/singing, she pulled away from her bottle and turned her head wide eyed to listen to her daddy.

What an honor it is to be resting here today! We long to return home to Nick, Taylor, and Isabelle who are eagerly waiting to meet their new sister, but we are blessed to be waiting her at LAHOP. God is so good!
