Texas is a state in the South-Central region of the United States. At 268,596 square miles and with more than 29 million residents in 2020, it is the second largest U.S. State by both area (after Alaska) and population (after California). This is my second prayer journey to Texas, the first in April 2009 to Austin, the State Capitol for the Keys Conference.

October 7, 2022, Friday ~ Today’s Weather Forecast: H 72, L 39 Redmond, Oregon. H 86, L 63 Abilene, Texas. Arising before sunrise and finished preparing for the trip. Before the flight, I drove into Bend, Oregon to retrieve the mail and was grateful to find the new two-year registration and license plate stickers for my vehicle. The application was mailed six weeks ago because the on-line site was non-functional and the local DMV office was closed due to no staffing. It is a very different season on the earth and in Oregon where I reside. Gratefully, the vehicle will be parked at the airport long term parking with current registration (not expired) stickers. One item checked off the list. Praise the LORD!
I opted to use the RMD Long Term Parking for $7.95 per day according to their website which was less than the $37 plus tip one-way ride in Enviro Shuttle which seemed unreasonable as I live one mile from the airport.
Arriving at the airport at 10:45 AM, the recommended 2-hours early. Even though I set up the scan code on my Iphone, the kiosk was closed, so I waited for an agent and was issued paper boarding passes. Very small airport. The TSA security was as per normal touching people in inappropriate places…how utterly invasive. Unfortunately, RMD is among the worst in my 25 years of air-travel. If you prefer mistreatment or gallant rudeness, it is the airport I recommend. Before this particular trip ends, I will be literally slapped on my right shoulder where I have a torn ligament, patted soundly on my right hip which houses connective tissue damage, these injuries are from past vehicle accidents. And last but not least have my knees rubbed up one side and down the other with a pair of latex gloves that God knows have been where? This is why I wear long sleeve shirts with collars and long pants…because TSA has no boundaries…none whatsoever. This causes me no stress as I have traveled before and one must be adaptable and of course, my shoes, socks, feet, hands, and hair have all been sufficiently doused with Holy Anointing Oil! May the Glory of God meet them today.
Then, I went upstairs to wait at Gate E for a 12:13 PM boarding. While downstairs, I had checked my only carry-on suitcase (all of 22 pounds) for $30 at their request “as the flight is full”. Then while upstairs, the same gate agent was offering free checking of all carry-on suitcases…and I wondered why she did not mention that at check-in downstairs? This I will not spend any time pondering. Noticing that RMD is now a 5-gate airport instead of 4 gates, Gate E has now opened in the children’s play area. No comment.
It has been almost exactly 5 years since my last flight, which was to Israel during Sukkot 2017, 50th Jubilee. It is good to be traveling again for my FATHER’s purposes.
Surveying the area of which I am very familiar as I have flown in and out of this airport for over a decade, a solitary oak rocking chair filled the corner space by the elevator and I was grateful that it was unoccupied. Resting and rocking and intentionally breathing in the breath of ELOHIM and exhaling the toxins of the earth for a few brief moments.
In the same corner, there were three open shelves attached to the walls with books donated from the Deschutes County Library…all with DCL stickers on the front, back and spine and library stamps inside the front jackets. Along with a posted sign: Take a book. No need to return. From the Fly-Brary. On the top shelf, to the far left was a Tom Brokaw book: The GreatestGeneration a book that was in my library before the duplex flood 2021 and now seemingly had disappeared like so many things. However, it did not have any library stickers on it and was brand new. It was obviously a gift from PAPA GOD, and HE said as I placed it in my handbag, “I will make sure that every single thing you have lost is returned.” This sort of took my breath away as I have lost a lot over the years. Cradling my handbag in my arms, I closed my eyes briefly and whispered a humble, “Thank You PAPA G!” Opening my eyes and leaning against the pillar near the boarding gate I wondered if the lost includes people that I dearly love, who have turned their back on YHVH and HIS ways, to follow their own ways, and subsequently left my life as well. I tenaciously hope they are among the lost things being returned. We boarded the American Airlines Red, White and Blue Eagle outdoors up a flight of stairs and I was grateful not to be pulling any luggage up the stairs. Blue skies (not rain, thunder, lightning) are always a gift when boarding out of doors.
The flight was uneventful and we arrived in Phoenix on time. However, the departing flight to DFW was delayed by a flight from Portland, Oregon. The American Airlines service desk provided a new ticket for the morning flight to Abilene, a hotel voucher for the Marriott Hotel for when I arrived in DFW and a meal voucher.
We arrived at DFW at 11:09 PM where I went to the American Airlines luggage carousel as directed and made a phone call to the Marriott for curb side pickup. Taking the elevator down another level as directed, exiting the building and waiting outdoors to the right next to the purple pillars which I did for 15 minutes. The concierge assured me the Marriott was only 15 minutes from the airport. However, the driver, Chatty Carlos took three … yes, 1, 2, and 3 more leisurely trips around the airport arriving at the Marriott at 12:34 AM.
October 8, 2022, Saturday ~ Today’s Weather Forecast: H 72, L 61 Abilene, Texas. Following check-in and being provided a child's toothbrush in cellophane wrap, I inquired about the morning shuttle as my flight was at 9 AM.
"Well, y'all the 7 AM, 6:30 AM, 6 AM shuttles are already filled…y'all have to take the 5:30 AM shuttle…be at the front desk by 5 AM."
Arriving in my hotel room with the temporary toothbrush, no luggage, I slipped off my shoes, laid on the bed to rest for a fast 4 hours. Truly I was grateful not to be at DFW waiting. The shuttle made record time in the morning, giving me ample time to use the meal voucher which no one accepted.
Arriving in Abilene in the late morning, I was incredibly grateful to see my luggage on the carousel. Cindy was waiting in her Silver Bronco Sport in the parking lot. We did ride a bronco while in Texas, perhaps not the kind you are thinking of...ours was fully out-fitted with air-conditioning. Smiling am I.
The sun was shining warm above. Still wearing the clothes from the day before which is not a place of comfort for me. We first stopped at Red Robin for a meal, my first in 48 hours, which was a tasteful blessing above the overpriced airport snacks. Texas like Tennessee and other parts of the South serve sweet tea...which I shall enjoy daily until I depart for Oregon on Wednesday.
Abilene, Texas was generously given a “cold front” during my less than one week visit…previously the summer months held 75 days of triple digits. I cannot even imagine. The weather was in the upper 70’s and low 80’s for my brief stay. A gift from ABBA ADONAI as I truly am from the Northern Hemisphere.
We stopped by Cindy’s home for me to deposit my luggage in the guest room. As I did not wish to delay the time given for Texas we began our prayer journey to Kirby Lake to pour out anointing oil. It was a delightful place with golden butterflies flitting through the air, one green turtle sunning on a rock (symbolic of turtle island where we all live), countless bright blue dragonflies, geese, ducks, and a lone mother duck followed by a scurrying brood of chicks flitting across the water. The gentle breeze wafted through the tall grass and bulrushes along the shore. Along the receding shoreline, I found seven washers, one button, and two shells which were obvious additions to the Abilene, Texas Prophetic Worship Glory Ring. Along with 2 quartz rocks, at 2:22 PM (Daniel 2:22), a dime (John 10/be ready to turn on a dime – in essence be prepared for change) and one copper penny (one sent by the LORD).
Signs along the way: Yellow Brick Road, Lollipop Trail, Cotton Candy Road, Sugarberry Avenue, Sugar Loaf Avenue ~ promising to be a sweet trip…
Following Kirby Lake we visited the Texas Frontier Museum with exhibits describing the history of Abilene and surrounding areas, The Grace Museum which had only one exhibit open on the 3rd floor – a room filled with the history of fans, something I have never before encountered on my travels. Then to the Mesquite Center where Cindy attends church services followed by Summer Moon Oak Roasted Coffee the home of “Moon Milk.” A divine Texas concoction. As we were enroute to Cindy’s home we stopped by Wiley High School and poured out anointing oil. We prayed my most commonly prayed prayers: The LORD’s Prayer from Matthew 6 and the Glory of YESHUA Prayer from John 17 over each place we stopped.
October 9, 2022, Sunday ~ Erev Sukkot ~ Tishrei 14, 5783 ~ Today’s Weather Forecast: H 77, L 55 Abilene, Texas. After a light breakfast, we left about 10 AM for Fredericksburg, situated in Texas Hill Country. It is about a 2-hour trip give or take stops along the way. We stopped in Tuscola to pray then resumed our journey.
After checking in to the Country Inn Cottages, we went downtown and strolled the city streets before sharing lunch at the HP (Hitching Post). Then we drove out to the Country Inn Ranch to check out the evening’s accommodations. A bit rustic with perhaps refurbished horse stalls including painted mud brown cement floors…truly Texas. Then we drove back into Fredericksburg to stop at HEB for some bottled water and other supplies. Walking across the parking lot I found a wadded-up dollar bill. As I picked it up, PAPA God said, “Just want you to know all the extra expenses for this trip are covered.” The money was a prophetic gift and also gave me pause about extra expenses that would be forthcoming.
We took a few photos of some historic buildings then drove back out to the Ranch to settle in for the evening. Our welcoming party included many “Oreo” cows, deer and elk. They provided great entertainment for the evening. They provided great entertainment for the evening without the need for electricity, internet, sound systems, amplifiers, and/or stages until the golden yellow October moon arose in the night sky painted a dull cobalt blue. October 10, 2022, Monday ~ Sukkot Day 1 - Tishrei 15, 5783 ~ Today’s Weather Forecast: H 73, L 63 Abilene, Texas.As we were loading the luggage into the vehicle, I noticed one of the “Oreo” cows grazing by the outdoor fireplace…and I randomly thought perhaps mammals instinctually know their destiny more than we might think.
Upon departure of the Country Inn Ranch a few miles outside of Fredericksburg, we stopped by Cross Hill Mountain where I found a spark plug while taking photos (another gift for the State of Texas Prophetic Worship Glory Ring). Then after officially checking out of the Country Inn, we wandered through Fredericksburg with the Old German Bakery & Restaurant as our intentional destination. It was more than worth the wait for fabulous food, authentic hospitality, homestyle atmosphere and yes, sweet tea. As we were leaving, I noticed a "Magnum PI" red corvette parked along the street and I wondered to myself, if Tom Sellick was in town. Then I turned around and his photo from "Magnum PI" was situated in the windowsill of the local vendor. Laughing out loud. Next was a boutique named "Marilyn's" which was a sign to pray for my friend, Marilyn in Oregon. Sometimes, I just think God's signs are just not that complicated.
We took photos of some historic churches and then headed north to Abilene, the same route as the day before. Noting the fuel is $2.00 less per gallon than in Oregon. We passed Vista Fabulosa coming and going...it is a 343- acre hunting reserve which are quite common in Texas.
Stopping at Ross for me to purchase another carry-on case as the one I brought is not sufficient (one of those unexpected travel expenses). Then to Fresh Market for a beverage and a few supplies. In the evening, we joined Cindy’s family for a lovely BBQ in their Red, White, and Blue decorated outdoor space. Family was visiting from Cheney, Washington near the Spokane Valley where my brother resides. It was a delightful evening.
October 11, 2022, Tuesday ~ Sukkot Day 2 - Tishrei 16, 5783 ~ Today’s Weather Forecast: H 79, L 61 Abilene, Texas.
It was in 2018, then sometime in 2019 when the Holy Spirit first imprinted Dyess Air Force Base, Abilene, Texas upon my spirit. As per usual, I did a brief on-line research, prayed and waited for the timing of the LORD. As HE made arrangements for the Pentagon, Andrews Air Force Base, Washington D.C., The Sea of Galilee in Israel, the Andes Mountains in Peru and so many more places in the last quarter of a century of traveling for HIS purposes, plan, will, way, destiny and glory...I remained confident HE would arrange this adventure as well.
In the fall of 2021, Cindy mentioned that her parents were moving from Idaho to Abilene, Texas. I pondered the location...it seemed divinely appointed. Then in July 2022, Cindy moved from Oregon to Abilene, Texas to live in closer proximity to her family and invited me for a visit. And that is how God does it. In HIS time, way, purpose, plan, provision and providence.
August 14 was the date I purchased my tickets for Abilene, Texas (53 days from launch). When I first asked Cindy about the possibility of visiting Dyess Air Force Base, she was sure that it would be fine because her dad is a veteran. Then she found out that he did not meet the qualifications. But God…her parents were out walking in their neighborhood in an early September morning before triple digit heat and met Dwight and Patty, and go figure, Dwight is military retired from DAFB and would just love to give us a tour. And so he did.
Dwight “DeeDub” Williams, Retired Air Force Traffic Controller and Radar Specialist, asked me why I was interested in touring Dyess Air Force Base. My simple answer, “My dad (Army) and his only brother, Bill (Marine) were WWII veterans, in addition to my uncle Jack who served in the U.S. Coast Guard in the 1950’s and then a cousin (Air Force) who served during the Vietnam era…so it is always my intentional purpose to honor the military. God sent me to pray over this Air Force Base just as HE did Andrews Air Force Base, the Pentagon, Colorado Springs Air Force Academy and so many places around HIS earth.” Then I handed him one of my ministry cards, and said smiling, “I am a surprise.” He looked at the card and smiled. Because I know that no one thinks upon meeting for me for the first time that I am an ordained minister…no one.
Part of the tour included the history and namesake of Dyess Air Force Base, Edwin Dyess and his story in the book, Escape from Davao which since arriving home I ordered on-line and finished reading. And truly, every American needs to know the truth. After the 2-plus hour quintessential tour of Dyess Air Force Base, the home of the B-1B Bomber! we parted company with the hugs of comrades.
Cindy and I went to Blue Sky Café for lunch which served most excellent food along with three choices of sweet tea. My kind of place.
Then we stopped by a couple of thrift stores looking for scarves for the State of Texas Glory Ring. YHVH is always faithful.
October 12, 2022, Wednesday ~ Sukkot Day 3 - Tishrei 17, 5783 ~ Today’s Weather Forecast: H 75, L 46 Redmond, Oregon; H 81, L 68 Abilene, Texas.
The Rivers and Creeks where prayer was offered along the 4-day Texas Prayer Journey: San Saba River, Comanche Creek, Barons Creek, Palo Alta Creek, Cow Creek, Brady Creek, East Fork Jim Ned Creek, and Catclaw Creek.
The Silver Bronco and my Texas chauffeur dropped me off at the Abilene Airport around noon for a 2:04 PM departure. Once again the American Airlines kiosk was non-functional, so I waited in a queue for a ticket agent to print paper boarding passes and pay the $30 fee for one checked bag again. Abilene TSA is in a fierce competition with Redmond TSA on who can provide the worst service...however, based on longevity in my experience, Redmond is still the winner.
While at DFW, I stopped by a gift store and purchased the Silver Long Horn Key Chain…the final piece for the State of Texas Prophetic Worship Glory Ring (Isaiah 22:22).
Gratefully, the connecting flight from DFW at 4:37 PM on Airbus 321 was on-time arriving in PHX at 5:10 PM and then following a plane and gate change we departed PHX at 8:14 PM to arrive in RDM at 10:52 PM. It is always easier to travel without airport delays. And it is always a joy to see one's luggage on the carousel.
I strolled out to the long-term parking under a clear, crisp midnight blue sky filled with twinkling stars. The fragrance of high desert juniper and sage in the air.
After loading the luggage, I headed home after paying the $90 long-term parking fee, not the $47 as advertised on their website. Ahhh....another one of those unexpected travel expenses. As per usual, upon arriving home, I unpacked, did laundry, sorted through emails, and retired about 2 AM PST with a grateful heart for a safe journey, a completed assignment, and most of all to be about my FATHER's purposes according to HIS design, time, and will.
As always, I remain indebted for the faithful H.G.R.M. Intercessors on the home front who join me in faith as I travel on the front lines for the Glory of YESHUA!
P.S. Yes, about two weeks after arriving home an unexpected gift arrived covering the unexpected expenses of the Texas adventure. PAPA GOD is like that…FAITHFUL!
