Can I get a whoosh!

It's funny how things hit ya, sometimes right between the eyes. My life had been pretty entertaining. I had a great job I was successful at, I was newly married. I had grown up an Army brat so I traveled all over. Things seemed to fall into my lap and those that didn't if I stretched just a bit I could reach. But for some reason I had this "empty" feeling. Couldn't really put my finger on it. We decided to have kids and we had 3 boys in 18 months. The first son was 18mths old when the twin boys arrived. Needless to say I had to make quite a few adjustments. I decided to stay at home with the boys. During that time I stumbled across a brand new church called Olathe Life. To be honest I really wasn't a church person, never really felt the need to go. I believed in God but I also believed that church was about people's rules and what nots. I was driving one day with my 3 very little boys in the car when I had this thought of "if we were to die right now, how would I see the boys again?" I knew the answer, GOD. When I walked in to that church for the first time ever i felt this "whoosh" feeling, goosebumps even, right when we walked in,during the music and sermon. I didn't know what that was. It's funny to me now, I still get my whoosh when I walk into church, when I hear the music and when I hear the sermon. But I love when I get my whoosh when I am on my knees praying for the start of every new day. I love that I know I'm not alone and that that whoosh is between me & GOD. It's my heart crying out to Him and it's my heart listening to Him. And that empty feeling I had, it's gone. That empty feeling is now the same spot where the whoosh is! Can I get a Whoosh! Amen!
