God's amazing ways!

Many of you have encouraged me to post my messages to my Facebook prayer team on my blog as well. Here are a few excerpts from past messages:

From Pleasant Grove Baptist Holiday for Her Event, Night 1

Our Lord will never cease to amaze me, and what a humbling privilege it is to be part of the work He does!

Last night and tonight, I shared my testimony at Pleasant Grove Baptist's "Holiday for Her" event in Fountain Inn, SC. Their event has grown to the point that they offer it two nights in a row to accomodate the number of women who attend.

This was indeed a special planning team, and there were many times over the past year we were able to pray together for the Lord to move among the attendees. In unmistakable ways, our Lord definitely did just that!
From last night's event, TWELVE women trusted Christ as their Savior! Can you believe that??? WOW!!! I just love it when that happens!! The great thing is, the leadership team at Pleasant Grove has already followed up with each of these new sisters in Christ, and they are ensuring that they are plugging in to a family of faith and will be discipled.

Tonight, I was able to pray with and talk with many women before leaving, and as I left, there were still some in the prayer room with counselors. I can't wait to hear what the Lord did tonight!

Resounding in my heart is the fact that I had absolutely NOTHING to do with what happened last night or tonight, other than simply being WILLING to open my mouth and tell about the Lord's redemption in my life. What a beautiful, humbling thing to watch Him change lives! I pray we will ALL be willing to open our mouths to share our stories, whenever and wherever we may be.


Second update from Pleasant Grove, Night 2
Just wanted to let you all know that at final count, there were FIFTEEN women who chose to trust Christ this past weekend at Pleasant Grove, and over TWENTY who made recommitments in their faith!!!! Isn't our Lord just wonderful????

Without your prayers, God may not have chosen to work in the way that He did, so I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being part of the Lord's work through this ministry.
