Women's Retreat

Well, the plane ticket is bought and I'll be on my way to South Carolina next weekend. I can't believe the retreat is almost here. I'm so excited about the message the Lord has given me to share. I'm so in love with reading the word of God and teaching it so I really can't wait to get there and share what He has placed on my heart to share. The retreat will be videoed so I'm hoping to get the video put up on my blog when I get back and have had time to review them. I'll be speaking twice on Saturday and then the rest of the time I'll get to see family and friends that I've missed sooooooo much being here in Texas. I'll also get to go to my home church on Sunday and I cannot wait to see everyone back home. God is so good to have given me this opportunity.

Ya'll pray for me because I HATE flying and I've never flown by myself before so this ought to be really fun. And, I hate leaving my Joshua and Rodney for the weekend. I'll miss them so much. But, I know the Lord will take care of them while I'm gone doing His work! Also pray that the women that come to the retreat will come with open hearts. My goal for them is that they would see just how awesome the love of Christ is and for each one of them to claim that love in their lives. We do not serve a dead god, our God is alive and active and his love for us is as real as the breath in our lungs. That is the message of Christ and it's time we started standing up as Christians and claiming that message of love to the world. It's the only thing we have that's going to get us through the good and tough times.
