days can fly by. They literally
just come and then go. It’s a
blur.
4 days of running
circles around the hotel and conference room. 4 days of fine-tuning the lighting and AC. 4 days of adjusting and RE-adjusting
the earpiece on my walkie. 4 days
with my new best friends Mary, Christopher, Paul, Rona = the hotel reception staff and porters. 4 days of “Who the DARN has the car keys?!” 4 early morning. And 4 late nights.
overall I think it was a success. And heck. The dance off was
EPIC. Success enough in
itself.

weeks to recover and wrap up my final tasks. But otherwise, it’s over. Amazing how you can work towards something for 6 months …
and then it’s done. Complete.
But looking back, I
know that there were things that came out of the Awakening that will last and
bear fruit. And ultimately, I
guess that was the goal. Anyone
can throw together a bunch of hotel rooms, some music and speakers and call it
a conference.
I prayed a few months
back that the Awakening would be a vessel. That I would be a vessel. For the Lord to use and work through. That in the long run, those 4 days
would mean something.
much as I wasn’t a “participant” of the Awakening, I know that the Lord was
present and powerful in Ireland. I
saw him. I heard him. I felt him in the love and presence of
those I was with.
all over again why I’m in this thing. Because I’m loved. And I
can’t stay away.
LOVE starts singing … You can’t stay away when LOVE starts ringing.”

For a basic glimpse of the week, check
out Sara
Choe’s synopsis -
The Lord answered MANY prayers for favor
during the event. In fact, I
venture to say He performed several small miracles when He “ear-muffed”
the hotel staff and guests from our “rambunctious” worship sessions. Check
out Erin Winget’s humorous take on one of my “confrontations” with the
hotel event manager -

Chapman’s teaching on the New Covenant (highly recommended and
ridiculously, super mind-bending) -
Please check out Jonathan David
& Melissa Helser’s music. Their hearts are pure gold and they have quickly become good
friends. -
