My Saturday

Yesterday, my heart and soul were immensely touched. With my Mom, sister and baby niece in tow, we joined several of the ladies from our church at a women's conference taught by Cindy Miller. She was wonderful, a true lady in every sense of the word. She's the type of woman that I aspire to be... has it all together, but claims not to... she touched our very core with her knowledge of Jesus and what he wants of us, which is simply to live our life for Him and His will, alone. We are not our own, we are God's daughters, and what a wonderful heavenly Father we claim, and He claims us! That is the most amazing thing of all... He loves us, no matter what, unconditionally... without any doubts. What an awesome feeling and such freedom... He has freed us! Glory to Jesus! More on this amazing day spent in fellowship with my fellow sisters to follow...

Well, here are the "Nuggets" that we were to ponder after our Ladies retreat with Sister Miller:

• Take responsibility for your actions.
• We are to be students of the Word. Take notes at church and go home and study them. Information without application is wasted.
  
• Be around people who are good for you.
• The PLAN is to serve Jesus because of who he is, not because of what he DOES. Don't serve God for the benefits, even though there are. God is not a vending machine.
• There is no victory in wishful thinking. There is a difference between optimism and faith.
• Romans 8:28 says all things work together for good, not, everything works together to make me feel good.
• The very thing that defeated you, could actually be your launching pad.
• Submit yourself to Jesus and you can live godly in an ungodly world.
