God is Good, yes He is!

Hello all!

This past Saturday I had my first speaking "gig" since really getting trained at the She Speaks Conference. Before that, I've really only spoken 3 times.

On Saturday morning, I knew I had done my part (obviously with His help) and now it was time to trust that He would speak through me. And of course, He is faithful!

I could feel Him just feeding me the words I needed to say. I want to thank all of you who prayed - it means so much to me! I really felt like I connected with my "audience" and for that I'm very thankful!

As I was driving to the conference - I just felt full of thankfulness. I believe that God placed this passion to speak on my heart for a long time and to see Him now opening the doors for me....wow! I told Him, "Lord, I'm living my dream!"

Years ago as I thought about speaking-it was more about me.

But fortunately, God continues to grow me and (thought I can still struggle with this), I now want to speak because I feel such a burden to be an advocate for the fatherless, to encourage others in their relationship with Christ, to let others know that they are not alone.

Anyway, I hope this is making sense.

I am thankful that God continues to remind me that it is certainly not about me. On Saturday, I was supposed to speak 2 times but the conference was smaller than anticipated and there were lots of options and so I found myself with NO ONE to talk to (except my wonderful hubby) in my first session!

In the end, I believe God had this all planned too because we met a WONDERFUL couple who also didn't have anyone in their session. We talked the whole time and plan to get together again. So God knows and He is GOOD!
