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!...

A changed life

I just finished up studying with my husband, who was preparing to teach the Sunday School lesson.  The lesson subject is "Living a changed life".  It was coming out of Romans 6:1-13 and 22,23.  But I wanted to read the chapters leading up to chapter 6, so as I was going throught he chapters, two verses that stood out to me were from Chapter 1: 16-17.  Paul declares "I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith. Just as it is written, "The righteous will live by faith." This scripture spoke to me, we as believers and followers of Christ, should never be ashamed of such a powerful gospel.  This gospel holds the power for us to be saved.  But this is only true to those that have faith in the gospel of grace.  Grace is Gods power to help us to live a righteous life, i...
