Closer than you think

I had no idea it had been a month (or more) since I'd written. I don't know if anyone actually reads this, but I've been told the key to being read is consistency. I seem to struggle with this. I'm asking God to help me get my priorities straight. I think there are some major changes in my future.

I've just returned from our annual women's conference. It was absolutely incredible. God always amazes me. the first conference we did was so perfect, I couldn't imagine that we could ever do better. God can! He showed up in a way that you would not believe! It was incredible! We had ladies testifying throughout the conference to what God was doing. One woman said she had been trying to kill herself since she was a little girl and that God had just set her free of that desire, that for the first time in years, she wanted to live! A teenager came to the mic and admitted that she had hated her father for his drug abuse even though he'd gotten clean about 4 years ago. She said she was always afraid that he would leave her again, but that God had showed her that her daddy wasn't lying when he said he loved her and she wanted to confess her feelings and tell him she forgave him in front of everyone! HALLELUJAH!! It doesn't get any better than this. Just step aside and let God be God! I am more in love with Him than ever. It amazes me that He allows me to help in any way.

I am also once again filled and anointed and persuaded to enter in like never before. We are in a battle for our country and our future and it is time to be about the Lords business. If we don't stand up and make a stand, we are about to end up in a place we don't want to be. We have been allowing God to be removed while other Gods are brought in and the Bible is very clear about where a nation goes when they turn their back on the Lord. It's time to stop worrying about a bigger house and nicer car and start crying out for God to save our land. Before we reach the place where we are no longer allowed to cry out to God freely. It's closer than you think.
