"He is Our Praise"

This weekend was so amazing ladies..Let me tell you why.. I went to a
women's
conference that I wasn't feeling up to going but Guess What... I
went!! Why because I
was being held accountable!! Man when you put
the
word out that you need to be
held accountable in order to do things,
people
really step up to the plate and
take charge :)!! Believe me I
really need
that.... it seems like I can talk
myself out of just about
everything! Anyways, back to the conference.....let's
just say that it was wonderful
it was about Seasons as some of you know...the
women delivered the
messages
just perfect and the worship was wondeful!!.....All those women
praising God
together it was Beautiful!!!

The best part for me
was that I had
a very dear friend who decided last minute to
go...she is struglling
right now and everything that these
women
talked about was like if they were
directly speaking to my friend. Now let
me tell you it did not stop at this
conference..... the next day at
church the same thing
happened...Oh my Lord
you ARe Amazing!! You are So
Loving and you guide us right when we reach out
limit and we throw our hands
in the air and say "I can't anymore Lord Show me
your will".... my friend
was completely
filled with the Holy
Spirit!!!! She looked so
peaceful that it was just flowing out of her. I
was sooo Happy for her that
I wanted to shout it from the roof tops, ( okay
maybe just from my
seat) How mUch the Lord had done for her!!!!!


I have been so blessed by her and all that she has shared and gone
through... You know what has blessed me is her strength and just her focus on the Lord... she has been standing firm and not wavering even when I would have already broken......Praying with her and just being there to listen and in the quiet times weeping.... it has all been a blessing!


So ladies....
when we have friends that are struglling with something in
their lives and we go
to them and encourage and pray with them. Be
prepared to be completetly BLessed by watching God's Mighty hand
work
in that situation.... I can't wait to be
at the other side of this
season in
her life with her and to see all the Glory that the
Lord
will Have!!
Let's be there for each other and encourage and Love just as
Christ Loves
US!!!! God Bless you Ladies for being such an encouragement
to me....by your
smile, kind words and your beautiful Blogs!!


He is your praise; he is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes.
Deuteronomy 10:21, NIV

“Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.”
— Winston Churchill

Mmmm, I love that quote by Churchill! And Amen! What a blessing and honor that the Lord has you walking next to someone during her time of need! As iron sharpens iron....we can nudge each other on even when the ground gets murky and all we feel like doing is laying down!
He is SO faithful! It was great to see all of the ladies there....God surely delivered...whether we felt like we 'wanted' to be there or not...He was ready to talk to me I know that!
Hugs to you as you press on!
Muah!

Well said! You're right, it IS so important to be there when are our friends are hurting...I know I have been on the receiving end of that support a lot, now I need to work on giving it back :) I'm so glad you went & were blessed....really, how could you not be?! ;) Those women were AMAZING. And the fact that your friend was faithful in keeping you accountable to get you there....you have a good friend there, you are blessed.

What a blessing this weekend was for you.... I love those times where we can escape and just be fed good meaty words from our Father. I love the quote from Winston Churchill!
