I know I should be posting a recap of this past weekend. Which was the culmination of a years worth of Scripture Memory Team work with encouragement from the Living Proof Ministries staff.
So here’s the short version -
I met Beth Moore. I always thought that I would hug her, but she hugged me instead. Does that make any sense? It was as if she has always wanted to meet me instead of the other way around. Wow what a gift of hospitality God has granted her.
I stayed with a wonderful friend that (till last week) I had only known through blogging. And our husbands are now best friends too. Which is kinda freaking us both out. As in “have we started the end of the world as we know it?”
The event was fantastic. I got to meet Travis again. I think it is going to be a once a year “date” for us. I met him for the first time last year in January.
Last year
this year. (wow, my hair grew a lot in one year!)
We had an eventful time getting home to Atlanta. Nothing like getting your child all set up and timed right to fall asleep on a 5 p.m. flight and then having the gate agents tell you “the flight has been delayed, please come back in two hours to check and see IF we are going to re-schedule” IF ???? IF????
I met Beth Moore. She knew me by my blog name. She KNEW my blog name! Give me a couple of years to get over that one okay? I am STILL reeling from that. Grinning from ear to ear actually.
Missy found the most amazing Cajun food any of us have ever eaten. And that is saying quite a lot, ’cause my hubby loves cajun food.
But best of all, God granted me a temporary boost in memory. Instead of saying the 14 verses that I was sure I would be able to. I recited ALL TWENTY FOUR. Okay Missy did say I got one word wrong, but ya’ll that was not Me. I didn’t cram, or try hard or anything. I just let it go and God came rushing in.
And it was a rush. It was even better than meeting Beth. and Amanda. and Travis. In a way.
The reason you aren’t getting a real, insightful, spirit-filled re-cap is that I am just too tired. All three of us came home with colds and/or ear infections. So I am just plain pooped.
but hey, I got to meet Beth Moore. Or have I mentioned that already?
Have a great week.
So nice to meet you this weekend! I felt the very same way about Beth.
One other thing about this weekend – I felt very SHORT ! You ladies are all so tall!!!!
This is great! Thank you for sharing.
Your joy is contagious – I love that you are happy about meeting Beth Moore! I met one of my roomies from Houston at the Siesta Fiesta last August and our families have become friends too! When we were together over Christmas, I was amazed that the men on one end seemed to catch right up where they had left off and the children on the other end were having a blast. It does happen!
Blessings to you!
Hi. Welcome to my blog. Hopefully I don’t sound like a complete groupie. Though I know I must have acted like one when I was in Houston. I’m still so grateful that Missy put up with me!
