“Good morning Max! I just had to share my experience at the Garden this past Tuesday, after you had left us and rejoined the 700 Club crew. Thank you by the way for taking time with the ladies to pray over each one and to share your God story of you and Sherry on CD. We listened to it all the way back to Austin and it was especially significant as you prayed over the group of ladies, when it was being recorded, because it was as if you were with us in person again, praying for the fruits of the Spirit, forgiveness, and the fullness of God! That was amazing!!! But that’s not the story I wanted to share. Here it is: After we had prayed in the Holy of Holies (inside the 77’7” cross), I took the ladies to write our prayers on rocks. All of my prayer rocks, except one are located at the base of a tree, on the path behind The Great Commission. So, I was off by myself in my special spot. I had just placed the three rocks, that I brought over and stood up to take a picture, to capture the moment. I was contemplating moving and retaking the picture so the rock would have a direct line through the split of the tree, and to the Cross, when a butterfly landed on my thumb!!! A butterfly landed on my thumb!! At once I recognized the significance! All these years I’ve been battling, like the caterpillar who came into the cocoon with all my junk, and I’ve been trying to get out, break free. all this time, and when the butterfly landed on my thumb, God gave me a visual sign, that this battle is finished!!! I have emerged from the cocoon the person God needs me to be, to go forward on the right path, in the right way, and for the right reasons! Isn’t our God magnificent!!!! I had to tell you because your butterfly (Greiner logo) was the first thing I noticed when we arrived on Tuesday. There was a white SUV with your resurrection butterfly (decal) on the right side of the window. When we pulled in behind it, it was the first thing I saw! Then, when Debbye took a picture of our group, butterflies were flying all over my girlfriend’s blanket. We all noticed it, just before we left the Garden. Isn’t God so good!!! Thank you for having the courage to follow God’s leadings and create such a powerful place for us to be in the presence of God! My heart comes alive when I am up there, and when I think of how good He has been to me to bring me this far….and to meet you! May God continue to bless you on your journey. I will do my best to bring as many people to the Garden and to bring the Garden to Austin! Believing God’s BEST!”
