Kicking it with Beth Moore at Siesta Fiesta

-
This Blog is updated each Tuesday.
Over the weekend a few girlfriends and I spent what seemed to be an eternity trying to get to San Antonio to see Beth Moore at the Alamodome. We got lost 3 times . . . once in our hotel! Did you know there are two fourth floors at The Menger? We had some odd experiences there, but like the adventurers we are, we loved it. They say the place is haunted so we spread around as much Holy Ghost as we could. 

Beth was phenomenal. I loved every minute of it. She spoke of our inheritance as Christians being God's presence, His people, and property. Mostly, what I took home was that had no reason to lack confidence in Christ Jesus and if anything is to be done, God will be the One to do it. During a season of total reliance on God as we are seeking to build Gomer's House, the Lord reminded me that He was at work. I just need to pick up the shovel when He says to start digging. 

I loved the after time that she opened up to us fellow bloggers, Siesta Fiesta! My highlight of the weekend was a simple moment of prayer that happened on the way to the potty! I found it on the video at 50 seconds. Thank YOU, Lord God, for a moment to steal away with You...to weep and worship. You bless me. 

I just want to thank my close girlfriends for being relentlessly kind and loving the Lord. I love that you want to talk about Him all night and even after the conference at Taco Cabana. You can't stop talking about Him! I love it. You encourage me. 

Take a moment to evaluate what you say to others with your attitude and actions. 
Who are you telling them Christ is? 
Who do you believe you are?

ps my daughter grew a foot in the two days I was gone!!!!

What a phenomenal weekend! I loved being with you, Stephanie and all our friends - with Beth - but #1 - the Lone Star, our sweet Jesus Christ!!! Just to be with Him in the presence of so many sisters who love Him too, left me so full of worship, surrender and love.

David Crowder's House Restoration

A recent edition of Waco Today featured David Crowder's six year renovation project(we had to go check it out). I said a quiet prayer that God would let our house be completed before six years was up for us and then I dove in to the details. David and his wife bought the home of the man who invented Dr. Pepper. It is encouraging to see something that took so much effort and energy come to completion. May we soon see the same thing. You can read the story of the Crowder renovation here .

A Writer's Callous

Alright, baby photo below. Quit emailing me! ;-) I remember having a writer's callous when I was five years old. In my adolescence I hated it. Now, I find it fascinating. Almost as long as I have been alive I have borne a mark that declares I am passionate about something in such a way that it bores into my skin. I have been blessed with wonderful Apple products to use and I still prefer writing things out. I heard Michelle Pfeiffer say David Kelley writes out all of his award winning shows on yellow legal pad. I like that. I prefer a journal and a real wood pencil (the kind that are stained, not the yellow ones.) There's something romantic about it to me. Writing is a choice medium in my relationship with God . I love to prayer journal. I pour out thanks for every minute that I get to spend doing it. In last weeks post I told you that God broke my Mac so I would spend some time alone with Him (then I can have it back in January). Shortly thereafter the enemy came in tel...

Miscarriage | Infertility | Hope

I encountered Jesus as a young child in a church pew in the balcony of an old country church. Through a lifetime of trial, I knew he was there. I did not always know or understand what he wanted of me, but I knew I was wanted. We could go through all of the pain and abuse of my life and unpack each tiny detail, but that is not what this is really about. I love what Frederick Buechner said, “Pain is not the biggest thing that has ever happened to you.” That is true. I have beheld far greater glory. As I clung to his word through all of this, I knew he was there.   My story about trying begins long before I began trying to have children. I tell you this because almost half of the population has been abused in some way. The attack on my uterus began when I was four-years-old. I spent most of my life believing that I was broken and I was crippled by shame. I carried that shame into every relationship I had. As I encountered people in the church, I never felt safe enough to ask for...
