Saturday Night Life

Today was a great day. We have been attending the Releasing Children in Power and Worship conference here at IHOP this weekend, and our kids had a blast. They danced, sang and prayed their hearts out to God. We didn't force them to do anything, they wanted to participate.

I cannot tell you what it does to my heart to see my kids pressing into God. Praying prayers with expectancy and faith that is way more than a mustard seed. My son prayed on the microphone today in front of over 100 people and prayed that God would heal his daddy from whatever he had (pneumonia), and that he believed God would do it inside of 2 weeks. WOW!

Our daughter loves to sing, but is really shy. Imagine our surprise when the kids were asked if they wanted to sing on the microphone and our her hand shot up in the air. She sang great, on key and everything and LOVED it!

Folks, this is why we are here. We want our kids being equipped with the reality of God. Not the cushy stories and the flamboyant puppets and pretty coloring pages. We want them equipped with an intimate knowledge relationship with their Heavenly Father. They are on the right track.

Thanks to Lenny LaGuardia, Joy Maas, and Derek Loux for a great, fun, weekend. This first of many more to come I am sure.
