Awesome

I had an awesome weekend at the Deeper Still Conference in Atlanta, with Beth Moore, Kay Arthur, and Priscilla Shirer. I’ve never been to a conference of this sort, and I was excited when my friend Kate invited me to join her. I’ve done a few Beth Moore Bible studies, each of which has led me through some of the most important lessons in my life. So to see her in person was an opportunity I did not want to miss.

We had pretty good seats Friday night (it was general admission). Kate wanted to get in line Saturday morning by 6:30 a.m. Yes, I teased her about her abundant enthusiasm. But I was thankful for it soon enough, as we ended up on the third row! In a crowd of 19,000 women in Phillips Arena, those kind of seats cannot be beat! All the speakers were amazing, as was the worship team, including both performances by Mandisa. I was utterly exhausted on Sunday, after only a few hours sleep, and hour after hour sitting in a hard folding chair, but it was all worth it.

God answered some big questions for me, some with which I’d really been struggling, and even answered a few I had not thought to ask yet. He specifically addressed some issues with my business, which has lifted a weight from my heart. This quite possibly was a life changing weekend for me. I know many women there can say the same thing.

Thank you, Lord, for being so present in my life, so concerned with my small details, and so loving as to offer me clarity through them. I am so blessed.

Here’s a quick shot from my iPhone. It’s tiny camera certainly does not do justice to the lovely Beth Moore, but it will have to do.
