	After singing on a Sunday evening in Blue Springs, MO, the mother of a five year old little girl approached me with this story. She said that their daughter had been having scary dreams at night. To help her sleep peacefully they had been playing my House of Prayer CD. She said that it had really helped. The mother went on to tell me that when I had started singing that her little girl told her, “Mommy, that’s the lady that sings to me at night.” Then she told her mother, “I’m going to get the Holy Ghost tonight.” And she did!
		On a Sunday evening service in Boonville, MO two young girls tarried in the altars. They were both daughters of friends that we had gone to Bible College with. After praying with great earnestness and hunger for about an hour, they were both filled with the Holy Ghost. This caused great rejoicing since one was the Pastors’ oldest grand-daughter, and the other one was her cousin. They came to church as cousins, and left as “Holy-Ghost twin sisters” too! Isn’t God good!!
		There is something special about those who are willing to linger in the presence of God and not give up. A case in point is Bro. Paul Poole’s church that just kept on praying. They were willing to linger an extra hour or more around the altar to help two people brake through their barriers. The seekers did receive the Holy Ghost! Also, while ministering in Virginia my husband prayed at length with a young man. After receiving the Holy Ghost he looked at Bro. Garza and asked him, “What are you doing to me?”. His sincere question made my husband laugh and praise God! He explained that it wasn’t him. It’s just that God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him! That young man was also delivered from drug addiction!
	While in North Carolina ministering for Bro. Barnhill, we participated in a live group recording session. The man who had been hired to do their annual recording was himself baptized in Jesus Name! Also, on this trip to the East Coast, nine of our family members attended services with us,seven of them for the very first time!! God is still doing miracles, and we are expecting more advances in the Kingdom in our family and abroad!!
