What a GOD Day!!

12:51 am, saturday

Well, yesterday actually was an incredible day of seeing spiritual warfare played out in front of us. It began fine... we got out of the house on schedule to make it to Cooleemee NC in plenty of time for a 7 pm service. We arrived at Grace Community in Marion to load our trailer, and realized we'd left a few items at home. So I went back, and the team began to load the trailer. When I got back to the house in black mountain, the battery on my van died. Clarke from 106.9 graciously jumped me off, but the whole delay set us back about an hour. I had to keep the van running the whole time because turning it off might mean it wouldn't start again. We arrived in Cooleemee about 4 and began to set up. I went to get a new battery from a auto parts chain that advertises FREE BATTERY INSTALLATION. I purchased a battery from them after telling them that I was from out of town, no tools,etc and needed them to put it in. After I paid for it, they told me they couldn't put it in. Thankfully the vehicle turned over and started. Praise God one of the sweet people at the Cooleemee Church Of God put it in for me.

In spite of all the fiery dart of the evil one (the story above is just a few of many we dodged last night) God was present during the service, and MANY worshipped!! We were blessed by Him and by our new friends in Cooleemee.

Off to bed, up in the morning, and heading to Lynchburg!!
