Day 251 ~ Friday

So Today would be one of those changing points in my life.  Not only did I get some awesome one on one time with both of my spiritual moms today and tremendous loving on Jesus time, I got to see one of the all time greatest evangelists on the planet!

My birthday is in August and I had wanted to go to a conference in Chicago, IL that happened to be the same weekend as my birthday.  It was called the Awakening Tour with Jesus Culture leading worship and Reinhard Bonnke as the keynote speaker along with other amazing people like Bill Johnson and Cindy Jacobs.  I wanted to go so badly, but I realized I couldn't go because there wasn't anyone to watch my kids and church all day and night for three days isn't the most fun sounding thing to 9 and 10 year olds. So I didn't go.

This afternoon while sitting at my spiritual mom's house after some amazing fellowship and intercession time, I got a text from my friend asking if I wanted to see Reinhard Bonnke at a church just about 30 minutes away!  Of course!  And he happened to be there TONIGHT!  It was amazing!

He told stories like a wonderful old grandfather, you could just hear the love in his voice.  He talked about the multiplication of the fish and the loaves to feed 5,000 men plus women and children.  He basically described Jesus dividing the loaves and fish among the disciples to distribute, keeping in mind that the multiplication of the food didn't happen while Jesus had it ... it multiplied when the disciples had it and they turned and walked in to the crowd and began to hand it out.  He said what the disciples had in their hands must have looked like crumbs as they turned around to face a crowd of probably nearly 20,000 hungry people.  When they went and they mixed Jesus with what they had... Miracles Happened!

This revolutionized the way I thought!  How many times have I looked at what I had in my hands to offer someone and thought that it was inadequate???  A lot! If I am willing to go though, He will make up the difference!  Mr. Bonnke then prayed over the whole congregation and had us look at our hands and as I looked down at my hands I saw little gold sparkles all over my hands. They are beautiful and as I type this they are still there. :O)
