I Came To Myself

I am so excited this morning. I've been up for a few hours, just mediating and enjoying the time with the Lord. I have so many thoughts for the conference going through my head it is SO HARD to keep them all straight. I hope you are praying with me for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit.


Today's busy lifestyle seems to get in the way of our daily walk with the Lord...Did I say that?? Yes, it does!! I quit work in August after another setback with pancreatitis the pain is dreadful. However, I believe the last episode was to slow me down I worked for over 20 years and the last 16 years I had a very stressful job with a lot of traveling. My job seems to come first on everything. Sometimes before my family. I missed so much being away from home. As I lay in the hospital room I came to myself! Yes, I came to myself. I was still and could hear God speaking, Kathy it's time to rest it's time to find me. He becomes more and more real to me each day. Isn't amazing how you can be a Christian for years and years but really never KNOW HIM. I still struggle with my illness, but I am growing in God. To me that is what is important if I am following HIM how can I get lost? Praise God He slowed me down; I am now able to strive for what He wants me to be!--Kathy

 ^31-39So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn't hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn't gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God's chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ's love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:

   They kill us in cold blood because they hate you.
   We're sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.
None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I'm absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us. (Romans 8:35-36, The Message)

I love the Message Bible version.  Nothing can seperate us from the love of God!!

Reminder Don't forget about the Women's Conference"
