Wow, what a couple of days it’s been! Lots to cover about the miracles and trials of God. We’re in Dubai, having survived the first 18 hour leg of our travels (DFW to Dubai), we are now ready to jump on board for the Dubai-Kigali leg, via Uganda.
So, how did you get this far, you may ask? Well, let me tell you…
We went to church on Sunday and received gret prayer from the congregation, and then several individuals. One prayer was for my back. You see, I had a herniated disk about 10 yrs ago that God healed (at a Bill Johnson workshop in Irving, no less). Now, after the spring show season of recording school events and carrying lots of heavy bags, it had begun to hurt again. At Convergence, the children had just completed VBS and were asked to pray over the adults in the church at service. The Lord pointed out 2 young ladies, gave them the words, and healed my back once again.
My wife and family also received a number of anointed prayers. There was no question that God was laying the foundation of an awesome trip!
Lastly, on Sunday night, my mother received a very timely word on forgiveness. Of being extra vigilant to deal with issues so that unforgiveness does have a place to root. Several other things happened through monday and tuesday and this word has been in the forefront of our decision making. It has been awesome!
Our flight to Dubai was great. Just to show us HIS hand, while boardng the flight to Dubai, a flight attendant grabbed us out of the CENTER of 5 ines of 100+ people each to start a “new” line that boarded first. We have seen such favor in the service of others! By taking the small amounts of time necessary to build micro-relationships, The Lord is providing for us and giving us great blessing.
I’d highly recommend Emerates airline any time you can get them. After a short stay in Dubai (and a quick trip to Dubai Mall to see the sights), we’re off again to Kigali.
This is just a short first post to start the ball rolling. We’ll be uploading pictures and video as we go, internet permitting, as well as praise reports and prayer requests.
