Yesterday I had one
of the most amazing days so far on the race and it occurred during debrief…who
would have thought it? There were just a bunch of little things that made the
day awesome.
My day started off
early, I woke up and got breakfast and started reading my journal. It’s was so
interesting to see how far I’ve come on this journey. To see who I was in each
country, to see how God has moved, and how He’s changed me. Praise God for all that
He’s done.
At 9:30am we had
worship out in the wonderful sunshine as a squad. During this time people were
sharing testimonies of different things that happened this past month and ways
that God moved in their lives and in the ministries. God prompted me to share
about the deliverance from depression that happened this past month. There is
so much power in sharing what God has done…it takes away the doubts the enemy
might bring to mind, and just gives more glory to God. I was glad to share.
Toward the end of
worship my team had to leave and go prepare lunch for the squad. I had so much
fun making grill cheese sandwiches with my team and we had a delightful lunch.
After lunch I was talking with Melissa and God told me that I needed to pray
over her with anointing oil and so we agreed to meet later to do that.
Later that afternoon
Melissa, Renee, Jenni Weir and I met together. You see Melissa had a rough
month health-wise and the Enemy wanted to steal, kill and destroy her. That’s
the plain truth, because that’s what Satan does. We anointed our hands and
prayed over Melissa, we prayed for an hour. During that time the Holy Spirit
showed up big time. God completely
healed her, and He realigned her spine and back and everything and she’s now
physically taller. It was an incredible time of just letting the Holy Spirit
show up and manifest however which way. Afterwards we all walked up the hill
laughing and feeling just overjoyed with God. Everybody was wondering what was
going on and all we could really say was
that Melissa was taller. When they hugged her they were astonished because she
is in fact an inch or two taller. It was awesome to see their faces, which made
us laugh all the more.
Tim finally came over
and got me for Manna Christian Fellowship (our team Bible study), and we had a
good time of sharing what’s been going on. (I shared what had just occurred
with Melissa). Then Tim brought a good word about having pure hearts and the
unity with God and each other by having pure hearts. It was challenging to hear
but I’m glad because I’ve been thinking about that. Basically it brings you to
a place of asking God to continue to refine you because it’s best.
I spent the rest of
the evening eating dinner, playing
SkipBo and having a great time with people. Zach and I had a couple of intense
games and I even won one of them! 😉 By the time we were done with the game
there was only 2 other people in the room so we called it quits. Renee and I
headed back to our yurt and decided to have a midnight snack and tea by
candlelight. Anna Coffey decided to get up and join us and we just shared
stories about the past month and laughed and had a great time. It was like a
slumber party. Finally exhausted we went to sleep.
Definitely an amazing
day!
