Home Sweet Home…
We just got home from Utah! Hallelujah – I LOVE LA! We had such an amazing time while we were there though. Everyone treated us like royalty. We’re exhausted and I’ll tell more about our speaking engagements tomorrow but real quick…
Man, I don’t know why, but I am SO SENSITIVE to spiritual stuff. I don’t want to bash Mormons because we love the Mormons and they are really nice people, they’re just deceived. I’m sorry, but Utah is SO OPPRESSED. I mean, I have never felt such horrible oppression – ever – besides going into a Satanic shop (666) on Hollywood Boulevard.
Maybe it was the bed I was sleeping on, but I have never been in so much PAIN – I mean – I cried every night except one (the night before we spoke) because of the pain. Daryl calls me ‘the princess and the pea’ because I can feel everything and anything on the bed – wrinkles, bumps, whatever. I was up and down all night, we had two beds – I was on one bed, on the floor, on the other bed, bunching up blankets on the floor again…I think it was also because of the weather too…??? But while we were speaking at the Youth Detention Center and at the church – I felt great. But almost immediately afterwards, the pain was back.
I felt such opposition the whole time we were there, but even more so on the way to the airport earlier. The closer we got to Salt Lake City – the more pain I felt and I even started getting a migrane. My head felt like it was gonna explode. But after we flew about 45 minutes – the headache started to subside and by the time we arrived in LA I felt SO MUCH BETTER. Isn’t that bizzare? I can’t help but wonder if it wasn’t spiritual.
But aside from that – it was so AWESOME there! We love Klysta, Jeff, Tyler, Vanessa, Alexis, Cameo, Tony, Leslie, John, Frank, Monica, Clark, Lee, Barbara, Ronnie, Crytal, Joe, Rose, Keith…and their Pastor Coleman and the entire congregation of Richfiled Assembly of God – man if I left anyone out I’m sorry…I wish I could remember every single one of their names – what a BLESSING they ALL were!
They made us feel so welcome – they were so generous and that’s our second home, for sure. It was hard to leave, and I¬ can’t believe it but I could’ve stayed there for at least another week or longer (anyone who knows me knows that I really dislike traveling and I’m always anxious to be back¬ in LA) if I had another bed. (ha)
I’m so glad to be back, but I really miss everyone already. It’s time to crash…in my own bed. God is so good. We have gained some life long friends for sure. This trip was life-changing and unforgetable. We are so grateful…thank You Jesus.
