Boba (Bubble) Tea

I had been hearing about Boba tea for a few months now. It seems to be all the rage these days. So, I guess it was time for me to join the Boba movement. Danika and I made our way to Downtown Kansas City to visit the one and only Boba Tea bar in Missouri.

I have to admit that I am not even cool enough to know what Boba tea is. I know I am not a huge fan of tea, and when you google boba, it is very un-clear what exactly it is.

The atmosphere in this Boba Tea bar was absolutely darling. Very relaxed and felt like home. (A generational trend? I think so!) So, I ordered. I received a sealed asian cup with a monkey saying ALOHA on the front, filled with pink milk and black balls of who knows what in the bottom. I was also given a very wide straw in order to suck up the mysterious black balls.

I knew I had to be brave and try this if I wanted to be "cool." ha ha ha

The milk stuff was fine. Tasted like a gum drop. The weird black balls, not so fine. I still don't know what they are (supposedly tapioca, but I have never seen black tapioca) they were slimy and chewy and nasty!

I am proud of myself for taking part in the experience, but I guess I am not cool enough to be a part of the Boba Tea generation.

As you were...

Encountering God on I-70 East

Ahhhh Kansas! I-70 East all the way through the Sun-flower state. It has to be an adventure worth writing about. After 9 1/2 hours in the car, I have arrived in Kansas City Missouri. I am here to see my cute friend Danika. She is a part of a prayer internship out here at the International House of Prayer (IHOP).

Yesterday was a beautiful day for me. Alone. Silence. Sunflowers. Cows. Does it get any better than this? God's creation is astounding. I was blown away by the shear number of crops. They just keep going and going. His provision for us is never-ending.











I few things struck me. I witnessed a herd of cattle (100+) all walking in the same direction. There was nothing herding them or chasing them, and no destination in site, yet all of them were walking together towards something. It made me wonder why? It made me wonder how? Then, the Lord reassured me that He even loves and takes care of these cows. How much more then, does He love and take care of me!

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Matthew 6:26

Another thing that struck me is the shear lack of creativity when it comes to the names of towns in Kansas. The border city between Colorado and Kansas is actually named Kanarado. Original! Cracks me up!

All these silly things to say, I am anticipating a great time with the Lord this weekend. I am praying that He blesses my intentionality in getting away and seeking Him. I am seeking rest and direction like only He can give.

I am also very interested in what God is doing out here in Kansas City. There seems to be a movement of His Spirit.

Enjoy your day!
He Cares,
