I have been putting off posting about this day because it just seems to somehow lessen what happened by trying to put it into words. I do want to tell everyone what a wonderful and at the same time painful time we had that day. It began at 9am, and wasn't over until 9 that night. A small group, about 80 of us all together, with Bruce Wilkinson, author of "The Prayer of Jabez" all to ourselves!! I think I expected to sit back and get all those warm and fuzzies, and there were those times, but then there was the painful stuff, too. We spent a lot of time tuning into the Holy Spirit, and then following His lead to talk about things that were important to the ministry in Springfield. It was all good and dandy until it gets personal! But, I am so thankful for the openness that we felt that day and the sense of unity that was there between all these strangers! Travis and I both learned a lot about ourselves that day, and I am sure that God will use that experience to help us be more effective in our ministry and our personal walk with Him.
