Paris Ain't the Only Heiress
See these beautiful ladies? These are a few my fellow heiresses. There are a three highly recognizable heiresses (if you happen to be part of the Siesta Kingdom) front-row center, and back-row right. And that one smack in the middle is recognizable only is you're among the tens of people that read this blog every day! If you've been blog-hopping regarding Living Proof Live and the Siesta Fiesta, not only have you seen a million pictures (not from me - sigh - but from people with functioning cameras), but you've also seen over and over how people are struggling to even begin to write about what was taught. Mostly, they're taking it a little piece at a time. In this post, I'm going to...
Fully Loaded
Before I launch into discussing the meat of Living Proof Live and our beings heirs of God, I wanted to post a few pics (now that I have them!) of the Fully Loaded conference, as well as give you a snippet of some things I learned.I went with Pat Layton and some of her boardmembers/friends to the conference, and it was a joy to meet those friends. Truly, it was as if I'd always known them. From left to right, that's Sherry, Pat, Linda, Jeanette, and, of course, me!I got to worship under the leadership and heart of Kelly Minter, author of the No Other Gods study that Beth Moore facilitated this summer on her blog. That study was so pivotal for me, and it was a privilege not only to...
Off the Top
Honestly, I have enough nuggets of truth stored in my Siesta Fiesta tote bag to render a good 15-20 posts! But, some are going to require further study and pondering before they can be adequately conveyed. There is one thing, however, that Beth said, off the cuff, that keeps rising to the top, and makes me think "wow" every time it does. It went something like this:I've wondered again and again why there are so many women walking around with the symptoms of sexual abuse - many of them the young girls of this current generation - when I know that not all of them have actually suffered that abuse. But then, during a conversation with Melissa [Beth's daughter], something occurred to us....
Foretaste of Glory Divine
I am home and my heart and mind are spinning with the rich food on which they feasted this weekend in San Antonio. And I don't just mean Mexican food, although I did have me some fine salsa!I've been trying to formulate how in the world I could tell you about it. It's definitely not a matter of having nothing to say, but rather where to begin! My next few posts will be based on my working out what I've learned. Between the various speakers at the Fully Loaded conference and Beth at Living Proof Live, there were several profound points that have resonated with me. They may or may not be related, so just stick with me and we'll work through them together. For now, here are a few of my...
A Note From the Lone Star State
Well, I so wish I could be posting a few pics, but I got here with my computer and my camera, but no cord with which to load one to the other! SO, there will have to be a pictorial update when I get home!In the meantime, we've had SO MUCH FUN - a wonderful word from the gals at Lifeway's Fully Loaded Ministry Leaders Conference and the first night of Beth Moore and Living Proof Live. And, of course, a few glimpses of the faces of my Siestas! Absolutely awesome to see them in the flesh!I'm heading to bed but I'll leave you with one of several profound statements so far:I am an heir of God.He is my portion...and I am His!For the Lord's portion is His people; Jacob (Israel) is the lot of His...
