Here are some of my pictures from Blogawakenings' Awakeningfest 2007. My sister Cheryl and I flew out to D.C. on Friday to attend the Awakeningfest on Saturday. We were blessed beyond belief! I am in awe of my brother in Christ for seeing with my own eyes what a wondrous event that he has undertaken and has painstakingly grown in his pursuit of being a "fisher of men". It was just amazing seeing some of our fellow bloggers face-to-face and hearing those sweet voices to go with all of their beautiful faces and spirits! We felt that we caught a little glimpse of the Kingdom! Cheryl and I sat all day, through sunset and into the night, in wonder to be a part of a crowd of 10,000+. We arrived Friday to horrible weather. Fog, rain, and humidity. But by morning God honored all of the prayers to provide the most beautiful fall day in the rolling mountainous area with the trees just touched with the fall colors beginning to show.
Their were soooo many youth having such a great time. And the families and babies! And everyone was having a wonderful time! Babies did not cry and children and teens appeared to be at their very best. We sat amid prayers, we stood and worshiped, and we shouted and danced our praises to our Most Wondrous King! The music was fantastic! We reveled in each minute. What we came away with is more than I can write about in one post. But we want to come back next year and volunteer and be a part of such a spectacular event! The Barlow Girls talked about not worrying about what you can or can't do and focus on what the Lord wants you doing. They had a very inspiring testimony. Our brother Blogawakening is really living that!
To our brother Dave in Christ....we cannot thank you enough for your most Jesus-like hospitality. It was truly a pleasure to meet you and your family. I look forward to seeing you all in heaven. Stacy...we didn't get much time together, but if we are still here next year maybe we will get more working together at the fest! I hope that more of you here may have the opportunity next year to attend!
