6 years 10 months 22 days

Day 2517. It was after 2 am when I went to bed last night, and at 7:40 am my alarm went off. Sammy was up right away but Tammy and Emmy had a very hard time getting up this early after having gone to bed late. We got dressed and went to breakfast. After having eaten, we returned to our room, then we walked to our car to get to the conference earlier than yesterday and get a better seat. It was just after 9 am when we walked into the building. The doors to the sanctuary had opened at 9 am. We walked straight into the sanctuary and found two available seats in the last row. I was really glad. Then we took the kids to children's ministry. 

At 9:30 the morning session started. At 10:30 the speaker came up; it was one of the Global people as the speaker had not been able to come. When we left the sanctuary at noon to go get the kids, we saw Richard Gordon outside who had prayed for us on stage yesterday. We wanted to let him know that he had misunderstood Sammy yesterday so we stood in line to talk to him. I then told him, and he said he loved our family. Then we went to get the kids. On the way back, he was still there, so we went up to him and the kids all hugged him. Sammy told him that he loved him. Richard then said that we had been his highlight yesterday. How sweet.

We got into our car and drove to Wendy's to pick up some food then drove to the hotel where we ate. Then everyone got on their devices. I finally lay down but only had thirty minutes plus the kids were loud so I didn't get much sleep. At 3 pm we left again as we had to be back at 3:30 pm.

Just after 3:30 pm we walked into the restricted area where the network leaders were meeting. The network leader came up to us and talked to us for a few minutes. Then we were on our own at our table. There was another kid in the room, and our kids went over there to play with him. I then decided to sit down at a table where several network leaders were sitting. I started talking to the lady next to me. Then her husband turned around, and I was amazed when he said that he knew me and that he had talked to me at a conference about ten years ago. He said he was praying for me/us from time to time when he'd think of us. Wow! We then had a great time talking, and I feel it was a divine appointment and setup. We took a picture together and exchanged contact information.

We stayed there until 5 pm, then they had another meeting in the room so we left. We drove back to the hotel where we had an hour before leaving again to return to the conference. We dropped the kids off at their conference and walked into the sanctuary where worship started at 7 pm.

We had an hour of worship, and after announcements etc. it was Will Hart who came up to speak. I enjoyed listening to him. Twenty minutes before the end at 10 pm, he started praying over everyone. The fire of God started touching me. He then asked those being touched to come forward so I did. Randy had to leave to get the kids. God was touching me powerfully while I stood up front. After some time, the speaker said that we should all line up in the hallways so he could pray for everyone. I was relatively close to where you pick up the kids and was hoping that they would see me when they walked by. Once again God touched me powerfully when Will prayed for me. After some time, I walked in the direction of the kids pickup and saw Randy and the kids.

God had touched them too. Emmy was still quite touched by the presence of God; he looked like he had cried. Tammy said that she had felt electricity in her arms. Before we could leave, a boy older than them and his Mom came up to us. The boy wanted to pray for Sammy and did. The Mom was also very sweet. Then we left. 

It was quite later, even later than yesterday. We still drove by Domino's to pick up a pizza and arrived at the hotel at 11 pm. It was close to midnight before the kids made it to bed so their night is going to be even shorter tonight. Tomorrow is the last day of the conference. Now it's nearly 2 am and time for me to go to bed as well.
