Day4

Dear friend of the vision, we had to fight for this one! The ice storm Saturday and Sunday, paralyzed the city. We finally found our church Tuesday and attended Wednesday night. It is a church of prayer! The Holy Spirit truly leads us to the church He wants, each week. The cold nights, with heaters going, afghans wrapped around us, and the electric blanket on, keeps us comfortable enough to keep focused on our task.
I was not sure if anyone was going to show at the Bell Tower in the Richmond capitol square today because of the cold weather. What a pleasant surprise! Over 25 people were present. Three CWA leaders, two Women's Aglow members, an entire family of Messianic believers, a pastor from the church we attended, along with the founder of Save America. Our dear friends from the Chicago area, who moved to Maryland, made our day!

As we braved the cold temperature and wind of 30 degrees, passionate hearts prayed and wept from their hearts. A grandpa and his grandson blew the Shofar as we prepared to repent for ours sins in America. The Holy Spirit truly shows up and God hears and will answer our prayers. We will see a great awakening com ting to America! It will not look like other awakenings but we will know it is from God. We must not miss this great opportunity of a great visitation. My own heart is trying to be so honest and asking God to purify me again and again!
This great state is so rich with history! The first session of the Virginia legislature took place in the church at Jamestown during the summer of 1619.
There are many great spiritual leaders standing for righteousness, in the State of Virginia. May they persists until the glory of God covers the nation.
Keep praying for us. We know that the Holy Spirit is so pleased with what we are doing. When we complete the hour of prayer, our spirit soars!
I have attached a picture of the second oldest capitol building in the nation and one with three CWA leaders from Virginia along with Vicki and me.

Hi everyone, we made it to Richmond, VA last Friday evening, just before a big ice storm hit. It literally paralyzed the city for two days. They have limited salt trucks, use mostly sand.
The rich history in Virginia is phenomenal! The capitol building is the second oldest in the nation. Annapolis, Maryland is the oldest because Virginia's capitol site was moved from Jamestown to Williamsburg to the present location of Richmond. The original structure, designed by Thomas Jefferson, is believed to be the modern world's first major public building designed as a Classical Roman temple.
The Virginia General Assembly is the oldest, continuous, English-speaking lawmaking body in the New World. The first session of the Virginia legislature took place in the church at Jamestown during the summer of 1619.
Virginia's greatest treasure and one of the world's finest portrait sculptures, a life-sized statue of George Washington is the only full-length sculpture for which the Revolutionary War hero and first President posed. This was completed in the late 1780's.
Virginia is called the Mother of Presidents. Eight U.S. Presidents were born in Virginia: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, Woodrow Wilson. (Ohio with seven Presidents also claims this title.) Virginia is also the mother of states. All or part of eight other states are made from land that was once part of Virginia.
Pocahontas is a real Virginia hero. In the early 1600's Algonquian Indians captured Jamestown's Captain John Smith. It seemed they were about to kill him. The chief's daughter, Pocahontas, threw herself between Smith and the attackers. He believed she had saved his life.
Lastly, I stood in the room where Coronal Robert E. Lee received his commission to head the Virginian military. He was married to Martha Washington's great, great, granddaughter. He later become the General of the Confederate army. He was a graduate of West Point. The Civil War ends in 1865, with the Confederate surrender at Appomattox Court House.
Enjoy the pictures and continue to have a great year!
