Weekend in Chicago.....

Hey Everyone,
We made it safely!Marianne,Angelie, and I made it to Howell's around 3:30am on Thursday. We caught 4 hours of sleep and then we headed to Chicago...Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to sight see like we wanted to on Thursday...but that's ok. We ended up going to Cabela's of all places...It was um....."fun"..(( =
We had to sign in at the conference at 6p so by the time we got settled in it was late.
The "True Women's" conference has been so refreshing and the worship has been amazing. I enjoy the old hymns and the couple that is leading worship has updated and is bringing back the old hymns....WOW!! What power...they are from Ireland so the accent is....ya terrific!! Makes me want to go back to the Emerald Island....If you are interested in hearing what they sound like go to www.gettymusic.com it is wonderful!!
The girls and I have truly enjoyed hearing the speakers and are in awe of how far from the truth true womanhood has gone...the terrible affects that feminism has had on this country and how selfish we have become as women....it has been humbling and refreshing at the same time....Praise the Lord!! The Lord has brought 6300 women from every state except Vermont and Hawaii....plus 8 different countries!! That is amazing and the wonderful sense of revival that is sweeping over the conference is truly contagious...Our prayer is that we come home and give you a little taste of what we have been blessed with!!
The prayers that have gone into this conference has been overwhelming and convicting too...WOW!!There are no strong holds in which satan can grab hold of...every ounce of this place is covered in pray...what a blessing!!
Tomorrow is our last day here...we are glad and sad at the same time!! It has been a true blessing to come and worship with these women,cry, and laugh with them....
Oh, one thing...I have been dubbed the "chicago" driver...which is a little nerve wracking...but God has been good and we haven't had any accidents, but I would ask that you pray for me as I drive into the main part of the city....(the other ladies don't like to drive...) We will be doing all our sight seeing tomorrow....then drive to Diamond MO....
Love to all and I'll keep you informed...
