"We are expecting God to meet us with a miracle"
"Walls have been broken down, I am actually able to experience emotions now"
"We have been able to start enjoying God's goodness"
"I WILL NOT STOP- I will DECLAIRE goodness, delieverment and freedom to the spiritual world"
HOPE in the dark-light is on the way
Come let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord Our God and Maker
Those were a few words of life that were spoken just durning our team leader meetings yesterday. Each one of those quotes were from couples that had attended any where from 2-7 WIT conferences. We sat in a room that was still under construction (saws running, hammers pounding, dry wall dust drifting in the halls) But it didn't matter because there was a peave and a stillness in the midst of it all. We stayed in that room for 3 1/2 hours as every person shared what was going on in their lives. No one held back anything, all masks were taken and stripped away. It was the most beautiful thing that we experienced in that room.
So the entire day was packed with getting ready, preparing everything for the couples that were soon to arrive. Then they did start arriving. I jsut say back for a bit and watch each face, some were evident of years of hurt and others did a good job of hiding it, yet when they thought no one was looking it showed up clearly on their face. The couples came into the auditorium and as soon as the worship was over the wedding march was played as Ray and Jane walked down the aisle in full wedding garb. After the skit, Paul and Jenny started off with the first session.
The night ended and again I just say back and watched each person that walked around me. It was amazing to see the diversity that was around me. Old,young,conservative, liberal-it was all here. I know that he is going to do amazing things in each of their lives. It was so awesome to see them all interact and talk with each other...they enjoyed that so much that a couple of them almost missed thier shuttle to the hotel :) After every one had left we transformed the room - tore down chairs and set up 11 round tables with complementary kleenex boxes and chocolate. Once that was complete we prayed and went to our rooms. It was an amazing day. HE was so good-every detail was taken care of, there was no stress at all throughout the day. He receives all the honor and glory.
Here is a list of team leaders that you can pray for-
Tom & Cathy Gaige
David & Juanita Burkey
