What an incredible day we have had! The church has been
incredible feeding us both breakfast and dinner every day. We meet at the
church early in the mornings and eat breakfast together then we change into our
ministry clothes and load up the bus to head to our morning locations.
So let me start with Thursday morning ministry...we were at
North Fort Worth Baptist Church and we performed in the gymnasium. It was for a
group of 2-5 year olds so ministry was a little different because we had to
adjust the line up to the age group. But they loved the Gospel According To
Disney skit. It was fun to see them laugh and get excited when they heard the
lion king portion.
After ministry time we went across the street to Rosa’s Café…it
was incredible Mexican food…so yummy! Everyone did great and was so well
mannered, they helped with clean up and were ready to hit the road back to the church…with
one little pit stop on the way J
But before we could do that…would you believe the crowd called an audible for
another Starbucks run?!? When the bus stops, if Starbucks is within walking
distance…you can be assured certain individuals are walking over to get their daily
fix…LOL! I don’t drink coffee, so Pastor Allen and I keep trying to demand we
go somewhere within walking distance of a Krispy Kreme…apparently that ain’t
happening!!! LOL
Anyway, back to our pit stop…we had to go deliver the love
offering to Mrs. Shirley…so we stopped back by Taco Bueno by she had already
left for the day. So we called the cell number she left us and asked her to
meet us at the bus…we waited in the WalMart parking lot and told her to look
for the huge black bus! She pulled up and we invited her on the bus…when she
walked on she said “it’s been a long time since I’ve been on a bus” LOL…she
said she hadn’t been able to stop thinking about us since yesterday J We explained that we
couldn’t stop thinking of her either and that we had gathered a love offering
for her of $500…she burst into tears and said I need new glasses, I can’t see
anything with these and I have the prescription but no money for the glasses, I’ve
been praying I could buy some. Of course, we all prayed over her and she shared
some of her stories and a testimony too…such a neat lady!!! Turns out that
Shirley’s last name is Binion… Pastor Denisa said she knew some Binions and
Shirley said David & Nicole, that’s my nephew? Yep that’s them…they are
worship pastors who have been to Oasis to help with SOAK nights before J WHAT are the chances of
that??? If you think God doesn’t care about His people…let me just tell ya that
God just drove a huge bus full of kids from Nashville, who knew some folks that
have sewn into the Oasis and they just happen to have an Aunt in Texas, who
just happened to be working at the Taco Bueno when we decided to eat lunch and
that little lady just happened to need some help. NOT a coincidence! That was a
God moment! A divine appointment!!! We may not have known Shirley but God did
and He heard her prayers and He sent us to be obedient and show her how much He
loves her!!!
Whew…ok, I am crying again just typing all that…God is so
cool! Ok, Ok…back to Thursday…so we got back to the church and the spirit of
God was still so strong that Pastor Denisa decided to have the kids do their
devos and journaling in the sanctuary…well, that broke out in full blown
spontaneous anointing service! The kids started praying to receive their prayer
language and when the first one got it they began laying hands on each other…HOLY
MOLY! That led to 9 kids…yes, NINE kids receiving their prayer language!!!
AMAZING!!! My sweet daughter was one of them Pastor Denisa grabbed her hands and they started jumping up and down…oh man,
here I go again…more tears!!! If you have never heard a room full of young
people praying in tonques…let me just tell you that it will wreck you…just
wreck you and waterproof mascara is a joke, LOL!!! It’s so overwhelming! The power
is incredible!!!
So after all that we had VBS Thursday night and at the end
when the PEAK kids did the altar call they asked for kids who wanted to be
filled with the Holy Spirit to come up and make a circle. Tons of kids came up
and the PEAK kids circled around them and began praying!!! Amazing…again! WOW
Speaking of VBS...here are some pics of one of the groups that Jaime, Miranda, Faith & I have been teaching the worship song and dance moves to. LOVE these kids! These were the 5th & 6th grade group...
After VBS clean-up we headed inside and grabbed dinner that
Mrs. Maria from the church had prepared for us...she made mexican food and it
was awesome! She made everything from scratch…tacos, beans & rice…she even
put white tablecloths and fresh flowers on each table along with chips and
salsa…so good!!! Every one headed to their host homes after dinner…our earliest
night so far…10:30pm :)
More to come…
