Pray for Washington State Event


Yesterday, Tammy and I attended the "Pray for Washington State" prayer rally at the State Capitol Campus in Olympia. This event was organized by Christian Faith Center of Federal Way/Everett. It was amazing!

As I walked up to the event with my kids, I noticed a few things. First, it was hot! The weather was beautiful, which helped bring out many people to the event. Secondly, downtown Olympia was packed because of the annual Lakefair festivities that last all this week (just a few blocks away). Even the campus itself had all kids of things happening simultaneously. NASA had some sort of gathering, a large kids camp was picnicking and a group of people had a frisbee game going. That was just our one small section of the Capitol grounds! Thirdly, I noticed the personal investment that the prayer rally crowd had. They showed up. They were into it. They were ready to pray passionately. Lastly, I was pleasantly surprised by Gov. Christine Gregoire's support of the rally. She spoke for several minutes, and even used the phrase "our Lord Jesus Christ" in her closing. The whole crowd responded positively, and awakened hope in many concerning our State's government.

The Spirit of God moved in that crowd as the pastors (several from various churches in Western WA) took turns praying for various aspects of, and people groups in, Washington State. It was a great experience to be a part of.
God, hear the prayers that are offered in this place.
Blessings,
Krista

Twitter Class & KBWomen Radio

Hello Readers,
We're getting ready for our Twitter Class this evening in Olympia, WA. It will be a great time of learning some social media skills for all the twitter-wanna be's! It will also be an opportunity for Christian business women to network while learning some new skills. If you'd like to follow us on Twitter, you can do so here - www.twitter.com/kbwomen.

Also this week, we have KBWomen Radio this Thursday morning at 9:30am PST. It's not our usual show, in that we have no special guest to interview this week. Tammy and I are going to be divulging some upcoming events and special things that are happening with the Koinonia Business Women's organization. So, if you are a Christian woman in business...tune in. You can listen to the 'live' show or the archived recording here: www.blogtalkradio.com/kbwomen. We'll have the live chat feature on, in case you'd like to ask questions!

Blessings to you all,
Krista
