Hi Girls! It’s a rainy Monday here in Houston and I can’t decide if the wicked headache I’m trying to cure is from the rain, tiredness or just the fact that it’s Monday, but either way, I’m really loving it. We need the rain! Also around these parts is the first day of school! I realize some of you have been in school for a couple weeks now, but our school calendar is set to start a bit later these days. I can’t believe summer vacation is officially over. (Not that I had one, but I like to live vicariously through those that do since I planned on being a school teacher growing up, and actually was an education major in college. True story.)
Anyway, David Lowe, our photographer for the Bossier City LPL (he and Rich swap out turns when necessary) sent the recap our way today just in time for me to share it with you! It was so fun meeting some of you face to face. What a powerful, anointed weekend. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around so much. My journal will most likely be my best friend this week.
To shake things up a bit for our recap post, I thought it would be neat to testify. If you were at the event this weekend, this exercise will be really familiar to you, but if not, we welcome you to participate!
The last session, Beth had each of us write at the top of a blank page, “If the Lord had not been on my side…”
One of our greatest tools in being a witness is telling others what the Lord has done for us. What He brought us out of. What pit He pulled us from. To share what only He could have redeemed and made beautiful. We got to hear a few participants share at the conference, but if you feel led, by all means, make the comments a place to share yours! I’m so glad I was at the conference to witness this personally. God showed up, didn’t he?
I’ll start by sharing mine, because we need to know that we’re not alone. Amen?
“If the Lord had not been on my side, I’d be a prideful, judgmental “elder brother” that seeks only the approval of men, pretends perfection and would be wasting away in secret sin. But oh, how He loves and redeems. Praise God.”
Y’all don’t leave me hanging now! Deal? Only joking. But I have no doubt today is a good day to testify to God’s goodness and redemption.
“If the Lord had not been on my side…”
We love y’all so much.

The conference at shreveport is a no brainer as far as putting it on DVD! U took on the accuser and u won in a mighty way thru the blood of Jesus!!! Pls give us who were there another chance to absorb it and those that could not be there a chance for the experience it! This was one of your best!!!!!
Delight yourself also in the Lord and He shall give
you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:4
LPL in Bossier was phenomenal!! I testify that:
If the Lord had not been on my side…
1. I would have drowned in sorrow and depair.
2. I would have remained a victom of my abuse.
3. I would have remained in my sexual sin.
4. I would have remained in my unforgiveness.
5. I would have remained in my fear.
6. I would have remained in my torment.
7. I would have remained in my inability to love.
Thank God that He was on your side. Soooo thankful for that, and for you!
There was a youtube video played at the Shreveport LPL of two guys imitating different laughs, is there any way to get the video ir address? ??
If the Lord had not been on my side:
I would have been defeated by divorce
I would have been miserable in my own skin
I would not be an heir to the Heavenly throne
I would not have the power to overcome and be the person God wants me to be
I would not be able to do His will
I would not be able to share my testimony
I would not have the strength to walk each and every day in victory because He loves me so!
