Hey, Sweet Things! I’m a mighty long way from home in Fresno, California and looking so forward to getting into the Scriptures and into some passionate praise and worship with these West-side women. I love knowing that Priscilla is in Florida this weekend serving at her first simulcast and we are on the opposite side of the continent with our Living Proof Live. You wouldn’t waste a prayer on either one of us.
This will be a record setting post – my shortest ever! Wish so much I could tarry here and visit with you but, Sister Girl, my hands are FULL. Oh, how I pray you are sticking with your Scripture memory. Don’t give up! God will bring a harvest if we persevere and see it all the way through. I love my selection this go round. If you don’t know what you want to memorize for Verse 7, you are welcome to share mine. Here goes!

How Blessed am I? Tons, that’s for sure. My daughter and I came from Visalia and Merced and met at the Savemart Center to hear you speak. I’ve never heard you live but I’ve heard of you and was amazed at your gift. The msg. spoke to me in just the way that only God can do it. What a “kick start” it gave my faith. The seasons come and go is something I’ve never heard expressed quite like that and it gave me so much hope to endure my journey more PATIENTLY now. As I go back to Visalia and tend to my garden on my little three acres, I will pray for the “Living Proof” ministry as God impress’s me too. I will remember this weekend for it has been carved into my heart. My daughter and I had a marvelous “Girls” weekend. Quilting, embroidering, exploring Fresno, Gazebo Gardens where I found the most incredible herbs for my garden, eating at some mighty fine restaurants, sharing God’s Word, crying and loving on each other to just name a few.
