Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him.Romans 12:1

GOD...

Sometimes, okay a lot of the time....words can't really describe circumstances, emotions and especially not God! All I know is that He is SO GOOD ALL THE TIME......
A few months ago I recieved an email from Sarah, my pastor's wife and good friend, who always coordinates our annual women's conference. The email was asking for any "volunteers" to head up this years event since she is now raising 4 precious girls under the age of FIVE! 
A week after I responded, Sarah asked if I would mind "being in charge"! 
All of you who know me well know that I LOVE "being in charge" and organizing/event planning is the icing on my cake!!! 

So for weeks I began making lists, calling people, planning and organizing......
The devil tried to still my joy at points.....
I prayed that I would stay positive and that God would help me prepare and plan for things He wanted and do it for all the right reasons.....
I set the "registration deadline" for Feb.19 and on that day I had a total of THREE LADIES!!
THREE YES THREE!!!
I must admit I was a bit discouraged but knew it was all in the enemies scemes.....
only God could relieve my anxiety and in the end.....
GOD HANDLED IT ALL.....
On Saturday I not only had TWENTY TWO WOMEN ATTEND but we also had
2 AMAZING testimonies shared all the way from Mobile, AL
PALM PAINT/WORSHIP
MUSIC WORSHIP
and YUMMY food!!

GOD provided and I didn't have to "do" anything!
Everything fell into place and He sent so many people to help me!!
I am so very thankful that He blessed me by surrounding me with Christian women
and introduced me to some more of my sisters in Christ!!

I was reminded this weekend that WE ALL HAVE A STORY!!
GOD GIVES US ALL A STORY TO SHARE TO BRING HIM GLORY!!
MY PRAYER IS THAT I WILL BE REAL!!
I WANT TO BE HONEST AND TRUE TO THE LIFE HE GIVES ME
AND NO MATTER WHAT MY CIRCUMSTANCES ARE...
TRUST, OBEY, LOVE AND GLORIFY HIM!!!
HE IS SO WORHTY AND I AM SO UNDERSERVING....
BUT HE LOVES ME ANYWAY!!!

WE HAVE NO IDEA WHO WE ARE "WITNESSING" TO BY JUST LIVING OUT THE LIFE HE GIVES US!! 
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK DANI, LINDSEY AND JENNIFER FOR SHARING THEIR HEARTS, STORIES AND TALENTS WITH ME AND OTHERS THIS PAST WEEKEND.
THANK YOU FOR BEING COURAGEOUS AND OBIDIENT ENOUGH TO TELL EVEN HARD TIMES IN YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU WERE NOT PERFECT BUT GOD CARRIED YOU THROUGH.......
I AM HONORED TO KNOW EACH OF YOU....
I AM THANKFUL TO SERVE HIM WITH YOU....

THANK YOU LORD FOR YOUR GRACE, MERCY, HELP AND LOVE!!!
YOU ARE FAITHFUL AND I HOLD TIGHT TO YOUR PROMISES.....
