Gotta Be Brief

...because there is so much to say and so little time, it will be sort of bullet-pointed, this post.
Realtor's phone call:
So my dad was at work the other day, in the middle of interviewing a guy, and he got a phone call. He answered it and it was a realtor calling on our craigslist ad for our house. She totally ended up blessing my dad and our family through HUGE confirmations and some pretty awesome words from the Lord. She'll be over this weekend for lunch. Ask me about it in person if you run into me.
Then we got all of our salmon canned in bunches of yummy flavors. And no, I don't like fish, but the flavors sounded yummy. We ended up with 120 cans. We were expecting 30. God told us that they will be used to bless others.
Alayna got her wisdom teeth pulled, all four, poor girl, and it really took her out. But it also lead to the next point of Becca's (Daughter of the Most High) baptism in the Spirit. For several months now we've been praying and she's been asking God and doing her bible studies on it and out of the blue she came over to pray for Alayna and it was the moment. Such an awesome story. My first time, too, ever laying hands on someone. It was a pretty cool night all together.
Then we also (my family and I) went over to our friend Christine's house (the adopted family member and former piano teacher of ours that is going down to TN/KY with us) and prayed through and over her house. We cleaned it up, spiritually. It feels light and airy and refreshingly different now. That was cool.
And last, but not least, ten days before the gathering in Tulsa, OK God came through in an unexpected and very cool way. After everything that he had been taking me through, which can be read in previous posts, I finally emailed the 24-7 prayer people down there, got transportation info, and posted my requests on facebook. Whew, act of faith. Then, I got my paycheck and paid my conference fee...before I had transformation down there. And facebook was silent. My email was silent. My phone was silent. I heard nothing. Two days of patiently waiting for that message, that phone call. Nothing. I'd never been so facebook comment-barren before. It was eery. Seriously. Then, on Saturday, my family and I went over to Chris's house to finish the remodeling of an upstairs bedroom (my dad and brother had worked on it till 4:30 am the previous night, went home to sleep for three hours, and came back) because she had a house showing at 1:30 that day. Well, for the showing, she had to be gone, so she took me and we drove out to Portage (Glacier, for the non-Alaskans, about 45 mins out of town). On the drive she offered me-quite out of the blue-her alaska airline miles. I was speechless, which she commented on later saying "I've never seen you speechless before" surely referring to my incessant need to talk. The next day I went over to her house, we got on the comp and booked the flight. And guess what, (When God tells you to wait on him, and you do, this is what he does), the only flight available to Tulsa was through partner airline American and as the only one available, I got bumped up to first class all the way there and all the way back for the COACH price. That was pretty cool, it will be a first-time experience for me.
But one of the things I prayed for earlier on, was that if God got me down there, that he would seat me next to someone with whom I could share the story. in first class, there is only one person sitting next to me. I pray that it would be someone to whom I could share, minister to, and encourage. ;) I'm excited because I'm pretty sure that it will happen. Plus it's a night flight. I LOVE those.
God is sooo good. I'm always overwhelmed anymore. Even in his forgiveness, which will be my next post.
