Entry, whatever, suplemental,

I have worked out that it should have been entry 8, but hey you do loose track of time.

And go on, admit it, you would be disappointed if there was no suplemental wouldn't you?

So yeh, now blogging from Tampa Airport, feels really surreal, but this whoel week has been that to an extent.

So yeh, I broke down when praying about my eyes and telling God that I wanted to see my wife and kids, something that hasn't happened for so long, and 10 minutes before when asked by Ema, I real can say hand on heart, it didn't affect me.

The other thing which I missed out from the ealrier blog, was that one thing they do lots here, is create fire tunnels, they create a tunnel with the people on the ministry team, and you walk thorugh they all pray for you as you walk through.

It really is a cool idea and ensures people get prayed for lots and people move on quickly.

god really touched me as I walked through hat tunnel, and a number of things that I felt God had released me from, and confirmed to me all came to mind at the same point, and I really can honstely say, that I felt God say, go for it Andy.

The evening was hot so we booked our seats, and went outside for a drink and to enjoy a little sunshine.

We prayed again for johns knee, and my eyes, and this time there was no upset, thank God, emnbarrassing enough crying in front of John and kevin without 5000 others.

Some fantastic worship, made even the better, when Martin I believe his name is, put a bit of u2 in there as well, cool to have u2 as worship music.

Jim Drwon, I am sure I've spelt that wrong, spoke, and there really wasn't a great deal of content, or substance to his talk.

Reflecting on this some time later, A revival isn't always about the teaching, it is about connecting with God, and being empwered by God. So maybe the teaching, or lack of it last night is not that big an issue.

The bigger issue I had, was not with the things he said, because what he said was fine, but he repeated each phrase virtually, at least 3 times, purely to get a reaction from the audience.

If he had left it to saying what he said once, then it would have been fine, don't know why he felt the need to say it a few times accept to get a reaction.

There was enough to be excited about there, with what God was doing, without him raising the level of exctement any further.

shame was the first time that this had really happend all week, and it didn't need too.

There was lots of praying, and a few people near us, asked if they could pray for my eye sight, and I said yes.

Again at this point the hurt nd pain of not seeing my wife and kids hit me, and I cried to god, to let me see them.

There was a kind of firey pain in the left eye, but no sight was restored.

many other healings took place in the tent, and I have no reason whatsoever to but to believe that they were real.

The disappointment reached the level that when it was time to go through another fire tunnel, I was ready to leave, so was glad when john wanted to as well.

Felt bad though, because God was doing something for loads of people, but my thoughts, and many of them were Irish thoughts, went along the lines of: (missing out some words):

why not me?

why them and not me?

What have I done wrong?

Am I going to be healed?

All of these and more, many more ran thorugh my head.

Went for some rehidration, and basically left my disappoinment behind.

I held on to the truth, that at times I have been able to see, and the left eye socket is changing, and all this is true, and all this is because of God.

I want to spend some time on the plane hime, reflecting upon the week, and then will post my final conclusions on the week tomorrow.

I will probably also continue blogging on here once god tv start again, bless them.
