The Journey

Our Fall Ladies Conference is on it's way.

October 10-11th, 2008 at our new church building!

Our speaker this year is a neat lady named Catherine Hickem. Her web site is Intentionalmoms.com. She is a gifted author and speaker. She will be sharing about her journey with the Lord, her passion for ministry, and some other topics all surrounding our Lord.

I remembering thinking at age 21 that my journey was over. I was a single mom, working long days (and nights), and thinking that was all there was to life. Then I started walking with the Lord. What does that mean?

I started going to church consistently and learning what God's word meant. I was praising my God and seeking to live my life for Him.

I knew that He was the only way to heaven, and my only hope on earth.

So, my journey got better. I didn't mind the long road, muddy trails, or flat tires. I trusted my God who is bigger than life and death.

My journey led me to my husband Dan. Before I met Dan I seriously did not know there were men out there like him, because I'd never met one like him! He is honestly the smartest and most godly man I have ever met! Also, he is the most handsome, and the funniest person in the universe.

You may think I'm just bragging....I am not bragging......it is just the truth! Okay, maybe a little bragging but wouldn't you brag if you were married to the most handsome, smartest, funniest, godliest person in the universe??? I rest my case. He is also an amazing father to our children and an amazing pastor. He is a extremely gifted Bible teacher.

God gave me a verse from the Bible (before I knew it was in there) it was Jeremiah 29:11 and it says, " For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."

"Oh, you say, I know that verse it's been around forever"...Yes, but do you believe it for you?

Do you know that He knows the plans for you and that they are for good (not evil) and that they will bring you a hope (we all need hope) and a future???

Believe it. It's true.

Enjoy the Journey!
