ZAP!

Just came off a leadership weekend at the Vineyard called ZAP. All 3 campuses (danville, sullivan and urbana) met separately on Friday night for times of worship, prayer and prophetic words from God. The Urbana campus went really well. God moved all of us to really pray hard about untiy, love, and a time of refreshing/new life in Jesus. Then, Saturday morning all 3 campuses came together for workshops. Corrie and I went to a small group one then separated for worshop 2. She went to one on dreams and I went to one on personal devotions. Really good stuff. We are blessed to have so many gifted communicators in house. Finally, the weekend wrapped up with a message on future and vision from Hap. He really laid it out well and I hope that everyone gets a chance to listen to the heart that Jesus has laid on him as our Senior Pastor. If I can find a podcast of it, I will post it later.

Sunday was another good message on FASTING from Ben and another good night of small group.

My time of refreshing and encouraging continued with a good lunch meeting with Hap monday and another lunch with Jim E (our small group guru) on Tuesday. Wednesday, I will be off to do my regular job of traveling everywhere, but the past few days have been extremely fruitful and encouraging.

Thank you Jesus for all of the blessings! And thank you to those who are regularly listening and blessing us. You guys are amazing.

Great 24 hours...



So, we took a last second trip to Cincy (the less than 24hr. kind) yesterday. Corrie and I drove over after a couple of property inspections in Danville. We had to sign some more paperwork for our house sale. We won't know anything until March 27th, but it was WELL WORTH the trip.

Our incredible friends, Jeff and Rhonda, took us all out to dinner and our other amazing friends, Matt and Ashley, put us up at their hotel de Johnson on last minute notice. WE MISS YOU GUYS A TON!

We got to sample both Grinders Coffee and Kidd Coffee while in town... best 2 cups I've had in 6 months... hands down. We got treated to Benihanna... awesome as usual. We got to laugh and catch up and see everybody's dogs. God is so good to us.

We went back to our house before we left and picked up a couple of toys and a dresser we couldn't fit in the trip back in September when we moved. The house is completely empty. It was a little sad because the new little one won't be born/raised in that house :(

We miss Cincy: favorite food places, stuff to do, our house, and especially our friends. We are still settling into IL. Ohio was our first home as a couple and a large part of us is still there I think.




The trip was safe and we caught 4 more inspections on our way home (Danville, Fithian, Longview and Sidney). We got home to happy kids (Yeah!!!) and took them out to SteakNShake for a cheap supper.




Thank YOU Father for how you guide our steps. Bless our friends both in Ohio and IL. In Jesus name....Amen






Shout up some prayers. We have ZAP! this weekend. Should be good, if I don't have to work... although work is helpful too :)
