I am all smiles today friends... I am excited about so many different things, She Speaks ESPECIALLY, visiting w/ close friends, alone time & connecting w/ God, so many awesome things are running through my mind right now. I'm leaving in a few hours to make my way to Charlotte, NC. I CANNOT wait to see what God has in store for the 600 women attending the She Speaks conference, what am I saying... I'm ALREADY feeling His presence! He is so good! I am dying to share my speech w/ you but I won't go there just yet as I need to save it up & see what God's going to do w/ it Saturday night.
I will share my scripture though, we all need some of HIS WORD- Romans 5:8 says "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us"... yes He did friends, Christ died for us w/ NO STRINGS ATTACHED!
I want to encourage you today to hear His call, His voice. Don't miss a blessing today friends! Ok, I'm not sure where I was going w/ this blog posting... I'm pretty much just shouting JOY & happiness! That's what this post is about, JOY in JESUS!
Happy days!

Quick Post...
I feel led to add a quick post today about how thrilled I am to be meeting so many new sisters through She Speaks. I can't even explain how much I'm witnessing God's presence right now! To all my new friends, you have already been a blessing to me, can't wait to meet you in person!
GOD IS AWESOME!
Today's heartfelt scripture...
1 Samuel 18:1-4
1 After David had finished talking with Saul, Jonathan became one in spirit with David, and he loved him as himself. 2 From that day Saul kept David with him and did not let him return to his father's house. 3 And Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself. 4 Jonathan took off the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his tunic, and even his sword, his bow and his belt.
This makes me think of my husband, he & a friend went to CIY w/ the teens from church a few years back & became each other's "Jonathan". It was really cool to see that connection occur! Friends are so important, God certainly has a plan when He connects each of us, even if it for a season.
Blessings to all this weekend!

Sunshine
I was uplifted this morning as I drove to work w/ my daughter... we discussed what we are thankful for as the sun's rays peaked through the fog. It was beautiful, mornings like that are priceless!
Today's heartfelt scripture... Genesis 1: 1-5
The Beginning
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
God never ceases to amaze me, even over small things like my drive to work...

Excited
Listen, I am still trying to understand this blogging thing... As you can tell, I haven't kept up w/ it BUT as I prepare for She Speaks, I am encouraged to get into it & really understand how all this works. At the very least I'll put a post up now & again.
I have been disconnected from my Heavenly Father recently, which is nobody's fault but my own. (I'm very aware of that b/c He is ALWAYS available!) BUT I am very encrouraged this morning... As I prepare for this conference, I am filled w/ so much joy & excitement, I can hardly stand it. I am hopeful for speaking opportunities once I complete She Speaks but more than anything I am excited about seeing God work during this time of preparation & through the duration of the conference. I am already witnessing His work & His ALMIGHTY power through emails, blogs, etc... seeing/hearing from others as to how they are preparing & how God is preparing them is so neat. It has truly encouraged me today!
It's on my heart today to share that if we truly let His work flow it will be perfect. I see that not only is this situation w/ the conference but in all situations, if I would just put me aside & focus on Him everything would go much more smoothly! Why am I such a ding dong sometimes, often times, when I allow me to stop His plan from flowing?!?! Jeremiah 29:11 - My FAVORITE!!!
My brother is an addict to many things, pain killers, alcohol, who knows what else. He recenlty completed a 6 month Christian rehab program. My family was informed yesterday that he had "fallen off the wagon" & what did I do, jumped to conclusions & got all worked up... what should I have done, gotten down on my knees immediately & lifted my bro up!!! God told me in the midst of my rant that if I would be quiet & listen I might actually hear His voice. So I did & He made it very clear to me that He revealed Himself to my bro during rehab & He can - WILL - do it again! Oh praise God! I am more encouraged today, even after hearing that news about my bro. He does know the Lord & God can pick Him right back up.
I'm shutting the door to the enemy today, won't you join me?!?!
