God Speaks

A real quick recap of my 4 days with an amazing group of ladies.
We headed out on Friday morning to New Bruensfel, Tx for a leadership conference and Surrendering the Secret training. It was a quick trip and not a quite moment it the car. That evening kicked off the conference. The Keynote speaker was Kelly Minter and we had an amazing time of worship. God was speaking to me from the beginning.
I went there for some serious time with the Lord and that is exactly what I did. He confirmed and loved on me through worship, scriptures, and testimony all weekend.
I have never been this close with the Lord, ever! It was truly amazing. By Saturday afternoon I was emotionally drained.
The conference was all day Saturday and Pat Layton was the Keynote speaker. She did a great job. This women Loves God and Women. And she is quit funny.
I got a chance to me her in person and get her autograph. As did I Kelly Minters too.
That evening back at our hotel, we spent some serious time with the Lord. We recapped the weekend, journaled about it, and had an amazing prayer time. We were all 4 down on our knees or laying flat on our faces before our Lord, just humbling ourselves before Him. We literally poured ourselves out to Him.
Sunday was a day of rest for us. We went to a near by town and did a little shopping and lurking around. We had a fabulous lunch on the Gruene River at the Gruene River Grill.
That evening we attended Church Services at Oakwood Baptist where the Surrendering the Secret training was held on Monday. WOW!!!!! it was unbelievable. God was there. The Holy Spirit was so thick in the room, you could feel it...... God was speaking to me so much that evening, I told one of the ladies I was with that if He spoke any louder He would be YELLING in my ear. I just can't explain it.....
Monday was our training day. And boy did the enemy have some tricks up his sleeve.... Nothing is too big for God though.
Pat used my computer for her power point presentation. We had a good lunch and the women there were so sweet. There were about 47 of us in the session. We took pictures together and discussed ideas.
Before going I had been praying for direction on getting into our area churches with the material for post abortive women to begin healing. It has been in Crisis Pregnancy Centers for years, but it is just now coming into the church and only few.
As we left that afternoon to head back home, not even 5 minutes into the ride home I got a phone call from an area church about a Women's Conference coming up in March. They have had their schedule worked out with the exception of a 35 min time slot before the breakout sessions. The director of the women's ministry felt the Lord telling her that should be for the Post Abortion Ministry.
She asked ME to be the speaker for this event. Hello????? Me, my first time to speak in front of a big crowd was this past week with our youth group...... which by the way went great.
I was just humble by what the Lord was doing and so quickly.
He had shown me over and over all weekend that The Harvest is Ripe...... He was not going to prepare me then send me out, He is going to prepare me along the journey. I don't have to go knocking on the Churches doors He is opening them up for me.
God is so good and this ministry is needed so badly.

Getting excited!

I am so excited to see what God has up his sleeve for this weekend. There are 8 of us going to the leadership conference and 5 of us will stay thru til Monday for the Surrendering the Secret Training. I am so thankful for these ladies and their desire to follow God. It is going to be one amazing weekend. There are some things that we are leaving open for the weekend plans, just want to see what God has in store for us....... Trying to follow His direction on what to do Sunday. Which Church to attend services at, and what to do that afternoon and evening....
I am so ready to get away from work, drama, family and all that can sometimes hinder you..... Don't get me wrong I love my family but I never have any "me" time and quit frankly I am in some great need of it......
I need to be refreshed in my spirit and fellowship with some great ladies in my life. I need to focus completely on my Lord and worship Him deeply. I am also depending on Him to give me complete clarity on Our new ministry.
We will have 2 to a room and I have been praying this week about who she will be. I don't mind sharing with any of the ladies as I know all of them pretty well. But whom ever we room with we will have a little extra alone time with and I want it to be the lady the Lord wants......
Please pray for us on our trip, it is about a 5.5 hour drive and we all have families we will be leaving for a few days....... We are set to leave town about 9am Friday morning.

God is Faithful

Thanks for the prayers for my husband. He did well through his test and there was nothing abnormal found. The Dr. did take a few biopsies and we will get the results in 2 weeks. It is all in God's hands.


This morning I awoke to my 5 year old burning up with a fever next to me. He had a fever of 104. After sending out a mass text message asking for prayer, his fever finally broke. I have stayed on top of it today with meds and his fever is very low but he sounds and feels bad.



I had plans to spend the morning shopping with him and my daughter, then meeting up with my sister to visit my brother and ending the evening at a local band concert "One Day of Praise".

But motherly duty came first for me today.


I will get to see my sister in the morning. I will be headed there early to go to church with her. Her husband excepted Christ as his personal Savior this morning. They along with their daughter will be baptized in the morning and I would not miss it for the world........ God truly answers prayers. I have been praying for this consistently for over a year or more. God is so faith to us.


Also I have been working on a flyer for His ministry..... I say His because it is. It is not mine, it is His. I am just so blessed to be a part of it.

I had been praying for a Ministry Name and Scripture and He so faithfully gave me it back in Oct.



Finding Freedom Ministry
Galatians 5:1 NKJV


So what do you think?

My husband is have a colonoscopy performed in the morning early. I am really anxious tonight to find out what has been going on with his stomach the last few months.

and

Jan 28 I will be speaking (giving my testimony) to our Youth Group at church. prob. a min. of 60 or so teens. All of which know me and my teenaged children. The timing is good because that will be 2 days after I get back from the Leadership Conference and Surrendering the Secret Training Session. God wants me to do this and I really want to do what He tells me to do, but I am so nervous I could throw up. I do not like to get up in front of alot of people. Please pray for me so I can be prayed up by the end of the month.

I am so thankful to have many prayer warriors out is bloggy land...... Love you Gals. God bless your sweet little hearts!!!!!
