Journal of Joy ~ Flight of Freedom! ~ September 10-13, 2009

Beginning Prophetic Worship Glory Ring Workshop ~ Tennessee, USA
 
September 10, 2009, Thursday ~ The flight departed on time from Portland, Oregon International Airport (PDX) at 6:55 AM. When one travels by air there are gifts such as the bulkhead aisle seat and the middle seat being empty. This was a morning of simple gifts: space and a quiet flight – rare – but deeply appreciated.

The next flight was not quite so easy, yet one is always grateful to land and collect luggage that is not smashed, drenched or opened. Praise God! Freedom and Eli met me at the luggage carousel at the Nashville airport around 5:30 PM and we began the road trip up the mountain to Monteagle. The time flew by and we stopped by the Monteagle Inn to secure the room we had reserved for the Beginning Prophetic Worship Glory Ring Workshop. For those of you that were praying at this time…we express our deepest gratitude.

September 11, 2009, Friday ~ The day was full of the peace and presence of ABBA ADONAI as I finished preparing for the weekend. I asked the LORD to awaken the intercessors as I sensed we were going to need more prayer support. When I went out to rock in the rocking chair on the screen porch in the afternoon, I laughed delightfully at the Praying Mantis that was before me. As many of you know the LORD often brings confirmation of HIS presence and word through my natural surroundings. In the evening, we went to WOTC in Decherd, Tennessee for a corporate Communion Worship Service.

September 12, 2009, Saturday ~ The Monteagle Inn Bed and Breakfast set some new parameters, even though not announced such as changing the time schedule and the room set-up and we purposed to accommodate them in every way. Flexibility is a virtue. There were 12 present including a couple from South Carolina for the Workshop and 2 extra for the Worship time. We were blessed beyond words as the LORD provided lunch at the Bed and Breakfast, in addition to live worship being provided by Paul and Codi. Such Joy!

As you may know, the anointing and light of YESHUA, draws people in, so we had many interruptions as guests of the B & B stopped in.  The delight for me is when each person finishes their Prophetic Worship Glory Ring which we are finding it is much easier for them to accomplish this when I bring over 1500 pre-cut and fray-checked ribbons. In the previous eleven years, I brought many, many rolls of ribbons for Workshop attendees to choose from, then cut and fray-check in preparation. We found to be non-essential and very time-consuming for some. So to expedite the afternoon session, I began bringing pre-cut and pre-fray checked ribbons.

September 13, 2009, Sunday ~ The Holy Spirit opened the door for me to minister the Word of God at WOTC, Decherd, Tennessee in the morning. Then following a strategic prayer journey in Monteagle, Teesha chauffered me to Murphreesboro to meet Joyce, where I continued my journey to Lebanon, Tennessee where we joined a Prayer Gathering.

As always, I am indebted to the faithful givers and the  HGRM Prayer Shield who make these outreaches possible for the eternal Glory of GOD!
