My Lord,
The Spirit Is An All Consuming Fire!!!
I am Your Desire!
YOUR LOVE COMPLETELY OVERWHELMS ME!
Father, I pray with my whole heart that any man or women that has a hole in their heart.....FATHER that You would fill it. I pray that the search and path that they are traveling with be interupted by YOUR Spirit, just as You did for the Apostle Paul. Lord God, give them a Jesus encouter and Love on them, just as You are loving on me. It's too good to not get in on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whenever I get the undeserved pleasure of experiencing your Holy Spirit Presence in an arena of godly women, it completely overwhelms me. I cry out in humble adoration!
Father God, YOU are awesome, amazing, wonderful, loving, compassionate, romantic, all consuming and real.
I cannot thank you enough for this past weekend. Oh YES YOU DID fill up my love tank #again!
I love you so, so much!
Father, You are a GOD who plans things and lines them up according to Your purpose and Your #perfect timing. You continually show those who are paying attention, those who are in the moment and those who look for Your Holy Spirit in action! Thank you so much that we did not stop at the Cracker Barrel. Thank you that we passed one or two on the way down but did not stop.
Thank you that we all came to the agreement to stop at the Chick-fil-A. Thank you that we ate it there and did not get it to-go. And thank you that when it comes to the things of God, I am often loud and boisterous! I could not help but talk about the Grace that the store gave to those who were recently stuck in a snow storm.
We were all being giddy and cheerful and our light, the one that goes where we go....Yes, Your light was shining. I was taking pictures and it was just pure fun to be with my girls! Lo' and behold, a young girl named Rachel approached us and she was in need. She was feeling low and weary. She needed a reminder of who You are. She gave us the sweet priviledge to pray for her. IT WAS Amazing to be right where You sent us! YOU knew that when she woke up that morning that our paths would cross and that she would receive confirmation from You and encouragement from US! LOVED IT!!!!!!
You are A God who sees everything and You care about every detail of our lives. Help us to believe that You are not asleep and You have not forgotten the things that we've prayed for and the things that matter to us. I absolutely love when You #remind us that this life is NOT about us! You hear and You care!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are a God who loves women. Your presence came before us, with us and hovered over that Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall. Even those in the community who did not attend knew that Jesus followers were present and accounted for. All the businesses and all those walking up and down the boardwalk knew that something was happening in that building. And yes, even the Palm Reader knew.
Looking back....my only regret it that I did not tell her about Your Good News! Lord, please forgive me and #please Father, send someone to minister to her heart and to share Your Gospel.
Lord God, thank you for Beth Moore, her deep love for you and her heart for women. Thank you for her praise and worship team. Thank you for all the things that You did to make this past weekend possible.
Thank you that Jackie's van got us there safely. Thank you for the beautiful Bed and Breakfast, as well as the owner's hospitality. Thank you for the toll and gas money. Thank you for all the times that we stopped to have a meal. Thank you for the rain and the ocean as Beth's Theme was: Watermark. Thank you that Jackie, Jackie and Melanie got to stop at their happy places. And, thank you that the sand and waves were there to comfort me! I so delight in just being still in the presence of all that water.
Thank you for the iphone that records my moments with you and the memories that I get to share with my friends, family and sisters in Christ.
Thank you for Your Grace that we do not deserve but shows up again and again. Thank you for the money to buy gifts for those that I love. Thank you for all of those pennies that I found and for the ones that Jackie A. and Jackie M. found while Geocaching. Thank you for my beautiful devotional that Melanie gave to me and thank you that page one spoke directly to my season of life! YOU are a God who knows me. All of my life, I've wanted to be known by someone and loved for being that person...and HERE YOU ARE GRANTING MY Heart's Desire! No man can fill me like You do. YOUR Spirit fills me and even overflows.................................
I LOVE YOUR HOLY SPIRIT and the continuous wooing of my heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want more!
Lord, I still cannot believe that I was in the presence of my mentor Beth as she read your Holy Scriptures. It was all too surreal and a feeling that I'm still carrying days later. I'm certain that I will remember this gift for a very long time!
I even had a dream last night that I was still at the conference and it wasn't until I came back from using the potty and got under the comforter that I burst into laughter.....realizing that I was not in my seat at the conference praising YOU but that I was at home. #Seriously-burst into laughter. Lol
I keep hearing the worship music in my head:
Lord I Need You
Take Me To The King
Victory In Jesus
Break Every Chain
Holy Spirit You Are Welcomed Here and so many other songs that give Glory to Your name.
I bask in my memories of all those women, (5,560 to be exact) and there was one man in the very back row with his wife!
Lord there were women dancing and praising you and I was one of them. It was pure JOY and excitement to be able to release my worship and not contain it! I need more of that God. I need so much more of YOU!
Father, thank You for using Olga! I'm still not quite sure what she meant by "It will be done." But I know without a doubt that You sent her to me. You used her to gift me with 10,000 pennies. YES LORD, 10,000 reasons to #trust in YOU! I do Lord, I so do!
Jesus You Reign!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank You for the words You spoke to my spirit last night while I was holding Lilian. She would not allow me to put her down and I had to help stuff the Easter eggs for the older kids. While comforting her, stuffing grass, chocolate and jelly beans into those little plastic eggs, I heard Your whisper. I have been longing to hear from You and listening to You. Last night You answered and I was #listening. Father, I am still listening.
Although that is my #2015 word, I don't want to ever be in a season of my life where I'm not listening. I need Your guidance. I need Your instructions. I need Your truth. I need Your loving discipline and I need to be reminded that You and I are in this journey together. I know that life will present many changes and challenges. I know that all days will not be good days and I know that we are surrounded by a world of darkness, but I will more than able to face each day-each moment, knowing that You are holding my right hand as Your word has promised!
Thank you for being My God and the God of my children.
Thank you for my Church that continually feeds me spiritually and thank you for my family. My siblings are Yours and I trust Your perfect will for their lives. I'm praying #believing!
Lord GOD, Father in Heaven, please be with DW, BJ, NR, CS, AA, CH, and bring the healing that ONLY You can bring! We trust You as we wait expectantly!
Eternally yours
