2011 Men and Women Conference Lexington,KY

So we are here at the Conference here in Downtown Lexington, KY.  I must say that I was looking forward to this conference.  So many years of going to conferences and national meetings, it was a hard press to do so, but through the development of relationships, each year becomes more and more joyous.  This year has been a wonderful blessing.  I have developed really great friendships and have seen my single friends find love.  It is so awesome to see history unfold with the ones you hold dear to your heart.  On top of that, when the preached word came forth by Elder Hollis, it uplifted my spirit, and catapulted me to another level of accountability in Christ, "not on my watch"!  Then a reminder that we need to let go of the past, stop living in hurt and shame, stop rehearsing the situation, but get over it and be made whole, because "After this"  comes my breakthrough, comes my next level, comes my abundant life.  Whew! The men's day brought the word to us and that was awesome.  Min. Erica McNeal exhorted the people and commanded us to trade our sorrow, grief, mourning and pain for a garment of praise. Some of us are weighed down by too much baggage, too much stuff!  We can't praise him like we need to.  Take off your baggage...It's time to give it to Jesus.

Certainly, as I have always said when I take time out for God...It was a great stewardship of my time, money and resources to have been apart of history and to experience the love and fellowship of my brothers and sisters in Christ.  I look forward to hearing good reports on everyone that I have talked to this weekend.
Until next blog!

Catching up!

Hey everyone! My how I've missed my blog page!  I am sorry I haven't put a single post on here in May, but I was taking my last class before graduating and I needed total concentration on the task at hand.  Not that ministry ever stopped as those of you know me and were either at the small group back in May or at Church service on Sunday.  I am still about my Father's business and I have finished class with an A and I an now done with school completely!  How about all this rain!  WOW! It is scary to see so much devastation going on from the weather, my heart and prayers go out to all who have been  affected.  One more sign that let's us know that Jesus will be coming for his church and I don't know about you, but I don't want to be all lip service, but I  want my walk to stand before me when Jesus comes back.  I will post the next Nuggets of Faith small group meeting time and place shortly, but I just wanted to say I'VE MISSED YOU!...

We Must Be Spiritually Woke

I had the honor and privilege to speak at my very first youth conference and believe me when I tell you I have never felt so relevant to young people than I did that day.  It reminded me that just because I am 42, I still had a lot to offer young people and they were eager to listen.   I usually shy away from middle school and teens because they get on my last nerve, and they trigger me in many ways, because of my childhood dealing with sexual abuse and being a teen mom.  I think they remind me of the time I did not have the luxury to be just a kid.  So when I see them doing and making stupid kid decisions, I can't handle it.  Notice I said "kid decisions".  That's what they get to do, and it's perfectly acceptable, but for me, I just cannot deal, call me a hater.  I'm okay with that...lol Speaking to these young adults inspired me more, because they have some adult experiences that I can easily relate and get to them on their level.  H...
