Journal of Joy  

Fort Collins, Colorado -  February 2005

02.09.05 ~ At 12:15 two fighter jets flew over my apartment (a symbolic gesture that air support was in place), must be time to go! My son-in-law, Shane and grandson, Elijah took me to the Portland airport, although my son-in-law is a fire-fighter we did not ride in the fire truck to the airport. Smiles. The Frontier Flight - the pioneer airlines - departed on time and arrived at 5:55 pm, 5 minutes early. (Isaiah 55:5) Beautiful clear day with the Washington and Oregon Mountains of the Cascade Range in panoramic view. Gate C 8 – New Beginnings in JESUS! My spirit is very energized and charged up about this trip. It is good to be going to Fort Collins again, to facilitate my third Beginning Prophetic Glory Ring Workshop. Anticipating a great move of GOD! 

Robin Main picked me up at the Denver airport and then drove me to the home of John and Betty Robinson who provided a “Prophet’s” room filled with many fruitful promises. I was so excited to see them again, we stayed up late sharing all the good things of the LORD.

02.10.05 ~ In the morning, Robin and I went to Iasis Christ Fellowship for the weekly intercessory prayer meeting, then picked up her Mom, Judy, who was visiting from Minnesota and cruised up to Estes Park for the afternoon. The LORD gave extravagant warm weather for the season and beautiful breath taking scenery. Estes Park is one of my most favorite little communities to visit. We walked, prayed, window shopped and shopped, ate chocolate (It is the home of Rocky Mountain Candy Company. It was the lease we could do to support the local businesses), read greeting cards until the laughter overtook us, poured out anointing oil and were blessed beyond words.

Three interesting confirmations of the LORD’s timing:

1. When I went to the counter at the card shop to pay for some greeting cards the person at the register picked up one of the greeting cards, looked at it smiling and said, “We just stocked that yesterday.” I answered, “Perfect timing, it is for my son’s birthday.”
2. At the next small shopping mall there was a Sculptured Lion with the Scripture Revelation 19:16 engraved on the base. Bless GOD!
3. After a little more browsing, we stopped in a little gift store and on the check-out counter was a magnetic board with a bin of magnetic letters in front of it. On the magnetic board was spelled the words, “Jenny – Inspired” I mentioned to Robin, “Oh look, they have welcomed me to Estes Park.”  The woman at the counter exclaimed, “Oh that just gives me the chills.  I just put that up not a minute or two before you walked in the door. I said, “Oh that would be my PAPA G!”

The fire of the LORD, the golden eagles, the covering and anointing of the LORD and many new beginnings were among the treasures of the day. In the evening we went to a home cell group that John  (Robin’s husband) facilitates in their neighborhood.  

02.11.05 ~ The morning held setting up for the Prophetic Glory Ring Workshop at Iasis Christ Fellowship, then to a delightful tea party with all the beautiful adornments and trimmings including a "Forget-Me-Not" Tea Set from Bavaria, English scones, international teas including Yorkshire Gold (my favorite tea), European and Belgium chocolates hosted by Robin. The LORD opened the door for some ministry opportunity in the afternoon, followed by some last minute shopping and errands for the workshop (aka a prayer journey around Fort Collins), and then an most wonderful Elk Steak Fajita Dinner by John (one reason to fly to Fort Collins). Lori Freese, a professional Massage Therapist and the workshop co-host joined us for dinner then treated me to another reason to fly to Fort Collins – a foot massage….ahhhh. Glory! Glory! Glory!

02.12.05 ~ When we arrived at the church at 7:55 am a rainbow colored with hearts hot air balloon was in the sky before us! Only GOD would find this unique way to bring me a rainbow. At 8:05 the hot air balloon descended - a 10 minute window of time to demonstrate HIS love. (John 10:10) This was my first workshop to facilitate after a 15-month sabbatical rest, the last workshop I facilitated in October 2003 was also in Fort Collins. The powerful anointing of GOD was thicker and richer than chocolate mouse. Mercy! GOD!  The first prophetic release was a word from the Holy Spirit for Iasis Christ Fellowship and the anointing continued to increase throughout the day. Robin decorated the tables with silver, purple, copper, gold and red chocolate kisses ~ five kisses with four types of chocolate. Additionally placing pink paper doily heart with Revelation 22:17 inscribed in the center of the heart around the room in strategic locations. The number five is about the favor, mercy and grace of GOD as well as symbolic of the hand of the LORD and so much more. We felt HIS presence, favor, grace, mercy and hand upon us all day.

The morning held the Scriptural teaching on worship and dance, impartation, and intercessory worship dance as per usual. The LORD delightfully interrupted the morning with prophetic words over each one in attendance. It is rather amazing to be looking at a group of people and only see color swirling from the throne of GOD around them.

The afternoon was full of more teaching, making rings, and giving prophetic words over the rings. As one of my prayers is to touch all generation, the LORD brought women from age 19 to 70 to the workshop. PTL! The joy of holding a Children’s Workshop the next day was leaving the supply tables set up. There is always a blessing when one looks for it.

After the workshop, Robin took me to a lovely dinner and then over to John and Betty’s. They had asked for a time to spend with me and it was just so GOD! Am still thinking I might adopt John to be my spiritual Dad, perhaps I shall call him “Papa John”. Smiles. The Robinsons are just treasure people of God. 

02.13.05 ~ In the early morning, Robin graciously picked me up for the 9 am Church service at Iasis. The afternoon held the Women’s Prayer at Iasis, some more Good Times and preparation for the Children’s Workshop at 5:30 pm. Please click on this link to see: The Children’s Workshop Journal of Joy and Photos. It is always my heart to sow into the ministry that hosts a workshop so we gave Glory Ring Supplies for the Children’s Ministry Department and HIS Fullness Anointing Oil 2005 for the Leadership of Iasis. 

After the workshop we went to John and Robin’s to debrief the weekend and review a dance video, the perfect way to close a weekend.

02.14.05 ~ Once again, Robin picked me up and treated me with gifts of Love and then drove me to the airport, gratefully the curbside check in was open, which streamlined the process. 

Signs along the way: Omega and Son Roofing, 855 Inn and Fort Collins Oil

The flight home was very easy as I slept most of the way. My daughter was delayed in arriving at the airport and as I waiting a car with the license plate 888 circled many times. Smiles.

With a grateful heart to my PAPA G who graciously sustains me and releases HIS favor, kindness, grace, peace, love, reconciliation, hope, joy and strength to HIS people. And warm affection to the faithful HGRM intercessors whose prayers provide the wind beneath my wings as HE sends me to take HIS message of goodness and mercy to HIS own.

A daughter of the MOST HIGH GOD,
