hugs to ya!

I am so excited that this weekend is finally here. It has been in the making (for me) for 9 months, for God, since the beginning of time.
I am so ready to put my arms around this lady and hug her precious neck, again!



Pat Layton is coming to Texas.

My church Trout Creek Baptist is the hosting church for her

Surrendering the Secret Leadering Certification Training.

She will also be in our services on Sunday morning at 10:30 giving her awesome, powerful testimony of God's redeeming Love.

It will change your life.

Join us please.

almost here......

Well I think I am all geared up for this weekend. God has been so faithful.
2 1/2 weeks ago there were only 4 women signed up for the Surrendering the Secret leader certification training. I was fretting it but Pat Layton, in her Godly wisdom, told me God would provide. He is so faithful. (did i already say that?) There are 21 women attending, not including myself, the training on Sat. From 3 states, coming from churches, crisis pregnancy centers, post abortion ministries, and 3 Christian Counselors. I am so excited to finally meet the women I have been praying for all these months. God is going to bless our socks off at the training. Praying for the sweetest spirit that day.
Please Pray for Pat as she will also be speaking to our church in Sunday morning services. Lots of prayer has gone into this weekend. I know God is going to open doors, heal hearts, mend marriages, and save souls this weekend. To God Be the Glory!

Will the next Trainee please stand-up?



Trout Creek Baptist Church
will host a one day

“Leader Certification Training” for Surrendering the Secret.

It will feature Pat Layton, author of Surrendering the Secret,

founder of A Women’s Place in Tampa, Florida.

Surrendering the Secret is a study published by LifeWay, designed to bring healing to women
who have abortion in their past. Although abortion is not a secret anymore and is freely
discussed in today’s society, many women still do not feel comfortable talking about their painful
experiences. In fact, there are millions of women who continue to hold this secret deep inside
and are suffering severe consequences. Surrendering the Secret will allow these women who
need help to connect with women who can help them.
Training will be held at:
Trout Creek Baptist Church, Kirbyville, Texas

Saturday, September 26, 2009

from 9 am to 4 pm

(Lunch will be provided.)

(Deadline for registration is September 12, 2009, 14 days prior to the event)

For coordinating, planning or directions contact:
Amy Sauls, founder of Finding Freedom Ministry at 409-423-0825

Stacy Spence, TCBC Women’s Ministry Director, at 409-656-4031
Certification will be given to those who complete the training.

Please join us on this journey to healing and restoration!

For I know the Plans I have for you!

Some of my random notes from She Speaks:

"God can do the UNLIKELY"
Dependant on who God is, if you have God- you have everything you need.
Ministry is what God chooses, NOT YOU
The Dream God put into your heart may be bigger than the environment you are in.
Pray for a team, give me people who GET my calling.
Don't sacrifice the future on the alter of the immediate.
SURRENDER!
Be a willing vessel.
with doubt prayers don't get answered.
God is Always on time!
Always answers prayer-don't ever doubt the power of a prayer!
Friends don't often understand your calling God has on your life.
Trust Him more than my feelings.

Some of my random notes from Beth Moore:
Faith will become Sight~His word promises it.
Be Still and wait patiently.
Believe His word(promises)
over your circumstances and your history.
If you want what is in the will of God for you~you CAN have it.
How much do you want it? Are you willing to do what it takes?
The battlefield is in the mind.
Put all you longings at the Feet of Jesus.
As I sat down this morning in Church services, getting ready to take my sermon notes, I took out my steno pad. Just as I was getting ready to turn to a clean page, I read this:
8-26-09 Wed. night

TRUST ME!
Even when it doesn't add up or make any sense,
what have you got to loose?

To Grow our Faith in HIS Faithfulness- to change your relationship with HIM.

You will not know the whole picture until you take that step of obedience.

He knows what is best for you.

To understand Why?
SUBMIT & APPLY
I have been for a while feeling that God is calling me into ministry (part or full time).
I work full time outside the home, Have a family of 6 to minister too, very involved with church and women's ministry and now my own Finding Freedom, and it is just too much.
Something is always neglected, usually my home and my family.
So I have been praying for a long while for God to make provisions for me to cut back or quit work. In recent months this has been a family prayer too. Ever since it became a family affair, God has really been speaking to me about Faith and Trust. WILL I TRUST AND OBEY HIM?
Just this week my husband got a job offer that would afford me to quit my job....... I know you are thinking wow that is great, God is so good.
But it is 585 miles away from here. But does that make God not so good now? Why would God do all that He has this year in my life and then pull me away to another state? Well I am totally unsure of that but He Knows the Plans He has for me, Jeremiah 29:11
I just forgot to pray for Him to keep me in East Texas to do HIS MINISTRY.
We are praying and seeking God on this live changing event, and would appreciate your prayers or encouragement as well.
