This week Daniel, Mike Sabot and I went to a conference in Washington, D.C. I am really thankful to the Lord for opening up the door to go up there. We wound up getting into the conference for free, and that would have been amazing enough. But, as Israel Houghton says “nothing can stop the favor of the Lord!” Bear with me as I rave away about the Lord’s amazing goodness!
Arriving at the airport we asked for exit row seats, only to find out we had to pay. After saying “no thanks” and proceeding to the gate, we were met with gift seat changes to the exit row! Praise!
Upon arriving at the rental car place, they only had one car left. And before turning into a Seinfeld episode, the man gave us his last car…a free upgrade to a sweet fully loaded Accord!
Got to town and, rather than staying in my good friend’s basement, his parents put us up in their house where we actually had beds, not to mention an awesome “man cave” in the basement (tv, billiards, ping pong, darts, pin ball…). It was wonderful to reconnect with those beautiful families.
Yesterday was Mike Sabot’s birthday and we got to celebrate together in one of his favorite cities. I had no idea he liked D.C. so much. But I was reminded about the love & favor of God on us all as we were experiencing the city together.
Tonight we’re leaving town. And the favor continues!!! We rode into the city (D.C.) with Ken & he was giving us a small tour of downtown. That was great. We got to see Ebineezers and try some of their awesome coffee. After that, we went to the Library of Congress. If you’re ever in D.C., make it a point to go there. There are few buildings in America like it, and they have some incredible documents dating back to the origin of our nation.
But then he brought us to see his brother-in-law… We then proceeded to get a behind the scenes, insider tour of the U.S. Senate & Capitol Building. It was unbelievable! We got to go in the basement of the Senate building and walk the “Senate train” tunnel to the Capitol. He took us upstairs into news conference rooms and office hallways to see things no tour could show you, all the while pointing out the historical rooms, disguised offices, etc. Then we finished up by all praying together for our guide, his boss and the leadership of our nation…from right there upstairs in the Capitol Building! Wow!!! God showed up.
We’re at the airport now, pretty tired, but still kind of speechless of the amazing favor of God that has been on this entire trip. Thanks Lord!
