Delighting in the Lord

"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart."

Psalm 37:4

This was our key scripture this weekend at the Beth Moore Conference. It was so awesome. The worship was great and it really spoke to my heart. I could feel the spirit of God there both days. God spoke to me over and over about several different things.

I learned that a true desire is a sustained longing that is not moved by our surroundings, circumstances or moods. And that we were created to delight ourself in the Lord and Him in us.

Some of the things Beth said that struck a chord in my heart were:

*Do not give up on God or the desires of your heart.

*Put all your longings at the feet of Jesus.

*What do you want the statement of your witness to be?

*If you want what is in the will of God for you, you CAN have it.

*He is not overlooking my desires~either GLORY or DESTINY is at stake~Wait on HIM

*He delights to show us mercy!

*Faith will become sight, His word promises it.

*We were called to Be Mighty!

*God will deal with evil!

*NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR LOVED ONES!

Over and Over He spoke to me about my dad's salvation and bondage, Healing for Lane, and Me in Full time Ministry.

How much do I want it? Am I willing to do what it takes?

YES LORD, I AM! then I am going to have to Believe His Word(Promises) over my circumstances and my history. Until Faith becomes Sight I need to Trust God and DO GOOD. (Ps. 37:3)

Randomness.......

Covering some random things in this post.
We won again Friday night.... Yeah Go Cats. 50-7
Saturday was our last day for pee-wee football...... AMEN!
Sunday I spent the day in the car going to get Dustin and Lauren from their dad's house.... If you follow my blog you would know that's 11 hours in the car for the whole day...... But I spent it with my Lord. I listened to Beth Moore's study Breaking Free on cd. WOW! It is amazing and I am not even finished. I still have 3 cds to go. Traffic was ok and we got home about 9:30.
I started working some in my new position this week. But it is a crazy week because I also am a backup dispatcher and our day time dispatcher is out from foot surgery.
I talked to a lady that is big into Women's Ministry for our district of the Southern Baptist Assoc. yesterday. Got some good feed back from her on my ministry. She wants to me with me soon and discuss some things. I was really excited that she was responsive and even better there is no church around here that offers that type of support group. She is putting together a network for area Churches and the ministry they have for women. She wants my info asap to put it in there. Anyway we are going to try to meet next week and talk about where God is taking me.
I am on Chapter 4 of my Healing Hearts Bible Study. This one is a tough one too. But I am getting through them and feel God doing a lot of healing in areas of my life that haven't been touched in years.
He is so precious and Good....... ALL THE TIME!
Not alot of time to really talk. Thanks for all the prayers.....
Oh and pray for my, I mean Chris's Dog. She chewed up Dustin's Letterman Jacket and I just about rang her neck this morning. I am so tired of coming home to something else chewed up......

Throw out the Trash

July of 2007 a group of 30 women from our church went to the Going Beyond Conference in Houston to see Priscilla Shirer. Oh My Goodness, what an event. It was awesome. There were ladies there from all over with different faiths, nationality, and circumstances. We all joined together to worship and hear from the Lord. He showed up alright, right there among us all. It was beautiful. The worship team and leader did a great job. We all worshipped the Lord, together as one!
The Lord spoke to me about impure things in my home. Oh not only did he speak to me about it, he just about slapped me in the face with it. I am a mother of 4 children, and married. I have battled with the comfort of intimacy with my husband and here I was letting these impure things in my home which was only there to destroy. My husband and I have participated in somethings in the past that were impure, unnatural, and full of sin. I had been so convicted of it that "That day I left it at the cross" and I was cleansed of the sexual sin we had been partaking in. I had my mind made up and was obeying the Lord to come home and clean house! On the way home ole Satan started doing a number on my mind of how mad I was going to make my spouse and my son. Now my son only had posters and pictures of "girls in bathing suits" up but it was inappropriate for him and in our home where we wanted the Lord to reign. So I stayed in prayer all the way home. The week prior to my weekend get away my teenagers had been at Teen Church Camp. When I got home and we all started discussing what the Lord had done at church camp and my conference, I got the confirmation. The Lord had also be convicting Dustin at Church camp about those same posters and pictures all over his walls. So together we tore them down and put them in a trash bag. Then I also threw out magazines and movies that my spouse and I had. I can't tell you what that has done for me. It felt great to throw out the "trash" from my bed room.
Here are some pictures from that weekend. We also got to hear from briefly, Beth Moore (sorry no picture of her, she was in and out like a flash) and Lisa Whelchel (Blair, from Facts of Life).

a great post

I read this post from yesterday at the LPM blog written by Amanda..... Beth Moore's daughter

Living beyond yourself

Last week we started our Beth Moore Bible Study Living Beyond Yourself. In Living Beyond Yourself, Beth walks participants through each trait listed in the fruit of the Spirit, from Galatians 5:22-23, and what that looks like in the day-to-day challenges of life.
We are watch the video and then we break into small groups of 3-5 women and pray, discuss and have question/answer time. We are looking forward to doing this study throughout this summer and holding each other accountable with in our small groups. This is our fellowship hall that has been decorated for this study.
