Day 3 to 6 of 40 Day Fast

(Haley Jr. Prom Pic, I barely got this pic)

Day 3 was last Thursday, April 23rd. I missed half of the day of work because of a migraine but I accomplished a lot. I visited 9 properties that are managed by the same company and we already service 2 of the properties. I have a meeting on the 29th to see if I can close all the companies properties. We also had to drop off our Scion to get the 60,000 mile service.


Day 4 was last Friday, April 24th. We both got off work early to attend the Joseph Company Conference which is a ministry for Marketplace Christians. We arrived a little late because I turned the wrong way and had to back track. It was a very good conference. We also picked up the Scion and it was about $160 less than what we were quoted which helped pay for some materials, dinner and part of our Lake Tahoe Trip. God always provides.


Day 5 was last Saturday, April 25th. I had a Homeowners Association Board Members Seminar for a property management company we provide services for so I missed the Joseph Company Conference. The first speaker at the seminar was a lawyer that apparently did not like security officers or security companies. It was so acquired because everyone kept looking back at me while she talked about "security" which she kept doing the quotation fingers for. I tried to maintain my attitude and feel I did well. Overall I had fun. Chrissy went to the Joseph Company Conference and said it was great. They had a panel of people who had some outstanding credentials, she made me wish I went. Chrissy did her sisters make up for her Junior Prom. I barely made it to see Haley leave for the dance but she looked like a princess. We then left for Lake Tahoe to help at Family Life's Weekend To Remember Conference. We got in around 8pm to the hotel and met up with everyone in the lobby as we checked in. We got to talk with George and Debbie, our team leaders. We also played some UNO and discovered I have 3 wins and 1 loss.


Day 6 was Sunday, April 26th. We had to get up early to meet up with everyone to go over the day. We were both exhausted because we did not sleep well at all, tossing and turning all night waking up every hour. Chrissy had to go out in the cold to direct the women to their location, the men and women split up on Sunday morning. We met up in the prayer room and got to see George and Debbie there. We prayed for the sessions and a few requests. It was an awesome time in prayer. The request I prayed for was from a mother about her son, the cool part is that after I went to the restroom and actually talked with the father. God has a wonderful sense of humor. It was a really neat thing to experience, although I did not talk about his wife's request I did get to see his face light up when we talked about hunting, which I have never done but got to share hope with him. We then went to a meeting for others who want to participate in the Family Life Ministry and I met Micky and Sharon. When I saw Micky God sparked a desire to speak with him and share part of God's heart for him. I walked up to him and after speaking to him and his wife for a minute I got to pray with them and for them, was awesome. We then finished up the conference and heard great testimony of hope and restoration. After we all met up to go over the responses for the weekend. We are our lunch, read some out loud and picked our top 10 and our number 1. It was a very wonderful experience. We were blessed with the atmosphere, the beautiful scenery and to be with wonderful people. We had a great weekend over all.
