Yeah for Kentucky friends!

My day started with driving to the airport to pick up Ross and Tyler...very very fun! So good to see familiar smiling faces. I am once again thoroughly convinced that mapquest does not work for Kansas City. Yet again, I got lost coming back from the airport. But it all worked out. Hoorah. We came back to my place for a bit, where, as you can see below, Ross fell asleep on the couch, and Tyler played on the exercise equipment. :)

After a tiny lunch, and dropping the kids off at the prayer room, I went to the last sessions of the Children's Summit. I heard a lady speak who, at age 54, has birthed 4 children, and adopted 10. Yes, I said 10. I think she is my new hero. Everything she said burned deeply into my heart. I am sooo convicted that the church must adopt and take care of children. She talked about who do we think we are to pray against abortion, but not be willing to do something about the babies that we saved. I have so much passion in my heart over this issue, I am not going to write about it right now because I need to go to bed. But I know that I will adopt, and/or foster. She brought like 6 of her girls. Two of them sang in their native Ethiopian tongue, and then two other girls sang for us in English. It was amazing, these kids who have been rescued, and they are soooo in love with Jesus. It's probably the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Wow.

Then in the final session, all the kids came around the room and prayed for us. That was pretty amazing. Little hands holding my hands, asking for God to give me the gift of healing, to impart signs, wonders, and miracles into me. So neat. Then the kids did a dance to a Luke Wood song. That was really intense. I took a picture, but it was so beautiful I wasn't willing to try really hard to take a good picture. I wanted to worship with them! They sent a couple of kids up to prophecy over us, which was amazing!

Ross and Tyler seemed to enjoy their first time in the prayer room. And then we went to EGS where Mike Bickle spoke on the end times. Which of course was amazing. I drove the kids to their weekend-home, and now I am off to bed! Lot's to process, and I have to get up early to usher at church!
