the past week

We returned from Texas on Thursday around 1pm, after driving through the night. We did a little laundry, repacked and headed down the interstate on Friday morning. We were able to attend a Pastor's Lunch in Grand Island with Jeff Collins and a team from Bethel Church (Redding, CA). Powerful time!

Saturday we attended the wedding of our former Pastor's daughter. I have never cried so much at a wedding! It was beautiful to watch as God joined 2 people together to further His purposes in their own lives and in the planet. We returned home that evening after helping clean up at the reception. (which was spectacular! If you need a wedding planner in western Nebraska, I have a suggestion)

Tomorrow, Mitch and I will return to North Platte to lead worship for their meetings with Jeff Collins and the Bethel team. The girls, unfortunately, get to stay home to return to school after missing 6 days.

Then on Friday, Mitch will fly back out to Austin to help with the "In His Presence" Conference. One of the speakers had to cancel so they asked Mitch to come down to fill in. What a privilege!

Highlights from Texas:
*Vision Church (Austin) usually runs 35-45 people. The Sunday we were there, they had over 80 people! Praise the Lord!

*Mitch ministered faith from 1 Kings 18 and encouraged people to position themselves to 'hear the sound' and to 'look again'.

*Mitch ministered prophetically to many of the people of both Vision Church and Palestine Church. We were encouraged to hear feedback from several on how accurate the words were. Jesus know and cares!

*Safe and grace-filled traveling through the night, on the way there and back.

*Fantastic fellowship with good, albeit long-distant, friends.
