Day One: Got there around noon, picked up car then Kristina.
Kristina ended up losing her luggage, but then was quickly
found by Pastor Sam (it was on his flight! ha!) We went to
Cheddar's to eat then off to Target for some food and water!
Then it was crashing time- off to a good start with sleep!
Oh- Chuck was stuck at EWR, he was flying standby with Matt.
Matt got a first class seat that day. Chuck had to go home
and try again the next day. =(
Day Two: Woke up with a great night sleep behind us! Hung till
lunch at Red Robin! My Dr. Pepper was poisoned with gross chemicals
that were left in the soda machine after cleaning it! Tasted like
burnt popcorn mixed with my beloved Dr. Pepper! AHH THE HUMANITY!
(credit: Seinfield- Numan) Food was good. Went back to the hotel
to check in for the IWI! WOOO! Hung out for a bit and explored the
hotel! COFFEE AND THE POOL! YEAHHHHH! In no time we were going to
the first session (opening day) for the IWI! Great time of worship
and prayer!
Then- you guessed it! STEAK 'N SHAKE for a nutritious
dinner. Ha!
Oh yeah- Roy fended off loiters from his milkshake.

slow service! UGH!
After a horrible lunch we had two sessions of one hour classes

I was sweating bullets playing him!
Session.
Sonic!!!!!!!!
This was an especially special day because God has delivered me from
a fear, ridiculously as it was, He provided through a speaker that night.
Steve Fry. I would be nervous to try new foods. A fear I'd have an allergic
reaction to it. That night, Steve said, "When Satan attacks on your weakness,
he's showing his weakness." Yeah, think about that for a minute. God is so much
bigger than stupid satan. ha! Amen!
That's why- Day Five tells about me eating tacos which was me sticking it to satan!!!!!!
Hallelujah!
I'm not afraid anymore!
Day Five:
Waffle House.
Session with Bob Sorge!!
Who brought forth an amazing message about the loyalty between God and us.
We need to by loyal- only then will be become a friend of God.
El Fenix- I ordered Tacos! Amen!

God is really going to move in Evangel church!!!
Thank you Jesus!
