Here is a women’s conference (click here for the website and more details) that looks like it will be worth something. This is truth we need to hear that is pretty much non-existant today. The speakers and singers are amazing and it’s awesome that they will all be in one place at the same time. Check it out!
About two or three weeks ago I got home from Winter Camp, as a youth counselor, and opened my email to find one of the happiest most fulfilling emails I have read. It was from my Sister Heidi. You see it’s been a little over a year ago that I was able to lead her to Jesus Christ. She is the first one I was able to lead to Christ, I am so glad it worked out that way. Awesome feeling!
When I opened my email, it was later on that night, I was in the living room with Mom and Dad. All I could do was break down and cry! They asked me what was wrong and I sent them the link. They cried too. You see Heidi doesn’t really talk a whole lot and she really doesn’t like to write a whole lot either. But, I was so happy to see that she would take the time to thank me for the work of Christ in her life. It was a big deal to her. He has made such a big difference in Heidi’s life! I can see the changes. I am so happy that God would open her heart to Himself. Here is the ecard she sent me. Click here to look at it, it’s beautiful. I walked into her bedroom that night and she was asleep. I woke her up and told her through many tears how sweet the letter was and how thankful I was to get it from her. She was sweet and said in her own quiet way how thankful she was. I can’t tell you how happy it is to serve the Lord! I can’t tell you what He can and will do through you when you yield your life to His work. I never would have guessed and yet at the same time it’s nothing about what I did or how I did it! Amazing…
The other night all of us girls took another girl here in the church out to coffee. We were talking with her about Jesus and salvation. I asked Heidi if she would tell what God did in her life. She boldly, passionately, in her quiet way through tears told her story of her salvation. That made me very happy. I know it made God happy. He is good.

I found this video a couple of weeks ago. This is the video Dad referred to in his sermon, last Sunday, that I found and sent to him. Something about this moves me. I can’t help but get emotional every time I see it. Watch it. I love to watch the people run to the cross, even from the far back of the crowd, and bow down, get on their faces. When I see that something in me is moved beyond words, I don’t know why. It’s kind of a long video so if you don’t have the time just skip to the end of it and see how many people end up at the foot of the cross!
I am running to Him today, because I know how much I need Him! I hope you will join me there.
I have always loved Nancy Demoss and her heart for truth. I noticed, as I visit her website often, that she has a new book out with another author Dannah Gresh. “Lies Young Women Beleive” Visit the “Lies Young Women Believe” website. www.lieswomenbelieve.com
Get this book! It’s up-to-date and directly deals with issues young women face today.
I love Jesus. I hope everyone who reads this site and those who see my life know that He is my life. He is so good. He is so beautiful. He loves me too!! This amazes me. Actually brings tears to my eyes. I know your wondering what happened. You’re wondering if I started a “courtship” or got a brand new car or if some money came in. Nope.
Lately to be honest I have had such doubts come to my mind about the existence of God. It’s when I am witnessing to someone or when I feel so close to Him that satan sends doubts to my mind. The other day I was talking with Dad on the way home from the airport. I flew in from Chicago from my job there. I told Dad about these thoughts. And then I was trying to explain and wrap my mind around the reasons I know God is true, theologically. And then I just explained to Dad how I know God is real in my life. I began to try to explain how much I love Him. I couldn’t. Tears were running down my face. Just like they do now when I think of how much I love this Man I have never seen! I tried to explain how loved I felt by Him. How much I feel understood and known by Him. I couldn’t. I could only cry. My heart was so full of love! This feeling is in my heart for Him so overwhelmed me.
Lastnight I woke in the night around 3:00 AM. I had a desire to pray and talk to Jesus, knowing He was with me I talked to Him and poured out my heart to Him. Today I got up early. I needed to be at work. I wanted to spend time with Jesus I need Him. After I read His Word. I then looked up a beautiful song that I love on “youtube” for my worship. I looked up “ How Can I Keep From Singing?” Chris Tomlin sings it. It’s beautiful. Today on my way to work I was singing it to Jesus in the quiet of the car. There I was tears and mascara running down my face and I am singing-
“How can I keep from singing Your praise
How can I ever say enough
How amazing is Your love
How can I keep from shouting Your name
I know I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart want to sing”
– Chris Tomlin
Do you have a vital relationship, alive and real walk with God? Today? Right now? Does it involve all of who you are? When you think about how much He loves you does it make your heart want to sing to Him? Do you want to cry when you think about how good He is to you? This is the most excited Relationship you can have! I hope your enjoying the peace and rest and love of being close to Him.
