Return From Passion and Illness

On the drive down to the Passion Conference, fever swept over my body. I was so sad to have to spend the first night of the very short conference in my hotel room sick in bed.

That's right! I finally caught what my family has had, which I can only assume is the flu. It's strange the timing of it all. Now, here I am seven days later finally able to post. I don't think I'm totally in the clear yet as I've heard this thing can stick around for a couple of weeks. :(

But, about the conference. I did get to attend two out of the four sessions. Francis Chan knocked it out of the park! That guy is so gifted at delivering God's passionate heart to that age group. I have since lingered on his blog and enjoyed hearing his heart there too!

It's interesting to me that I could enter this conference in such a different place spiritually than before. The first time, I was a dry well in need of spiritual saturation. This time I was on the same page with this team of leaders and able to worship and pray with such unity! The heartbeat of that event is healthy and strong. Visit their blog if you want to stay in tune with what God is doing in and through them. Start with this post first because it was about our time in Dallas!

So, there is the update! So sorry it took so long. Thanks for all those that prayed and keep praying now for the health within my family and the many other families across our nation suffering with this bug.

Passion Conference

Some of you may have read about an amazing transformation that took place within me after taking a group of college students to the Passion Conference in Atlanta in Jan. '07. You can read about that experience here.
Well, it's that time again. The Lord has allowed us to take another group to their regional conference in Dallas this weekend. Check it out!

Thanks to my Mother-in-law for flying in on Valentine's Day to watch our girls so that we can go to Dallas for the weekend. I'm excited to see how the Lord will move within the hearts of all of us who be there!
Will you be praying for us? It is such an amazing event and we get to taste and see the Lord's goodness in a way that is difficult to do within my own home each day.
