Summer Ends and Fall Begins
Thanks to all for visiting my site…Today is the 23rd day of September. I cannot believe the year of 2009 is closer to being over than beginning. It literally has flown right by me. I have now completed my first year in Rad Tech school and it has truly been amazing. I am so excited about finishing next Sept because I absolutely love taking x rays!!! What better way to spend your career doing something you enjoy!!!! I ended the year with all”A’s”….yayyyyy!!!!
Let me catch you all up on some things that happened at my recent speaking events….
Well a few weeks ago, I spent some about 4 days in Canada. I will be honest and tell you I was a little weary of going because I was going to miss my family and it was during the time I should be studying for finals; however, I obeyed my Jesus and went and I have to tell you it was fantastic.
Thursday night I spoke at a Celebrate Recovery meeting and many people were there, I gave God full reign to speak through me and boy did He….The night was full of laughter and tears because I was able to show those people how Jesus could take a filthy sinner like myself and change me to love Him most and to live my life to the fullest of what He has for me. Friday, I was surrounded by some beautiful ladies who love Jesus and we were able to get the same message out to people across Canada who were watching the TV show Huntley Street…what a blessing. Later that day, I experienced the breathtaking site of Niagra Falls and wondered if God was thinking of me when He made it…so I could enjoy it…we then went to Oh Canada eeye (???), which was such a delight that we laughed our heads off the entire night.
Saturday morning I spent brunch with a sweet group of ladies in a book club that had read my book and I let them pick my brain and ask me any question they wanted to know…I know, quite daring BUT it was sooo wonderful. After that, it was off to the Women’s prison where I was able to share my experience, strength and hope with the women there….my goal was to remind them that know matter why they were there, that God loves them and has a plan for their life. Many of them believed that and it was unbelievable to see what excitement these women had at the mention of the name Jesus Christ…PRAISE GOD!!! Saturday evening was a wonderful time as well…we praised the Lord through worship songs and through many testimonies of God’s hand in the lives of people.
To end my trip in Canada on Sunday, I shared my testimony at The Salvation Army Church and once again (like every time I spoke) God spoke through me and the people listening heard from Jesus…not me. God amazes me when he orchestrates each word He wants me to share and fills my heart and mouth with them. TO HIME BE ALL THE GLORY!!! Many lives were touch on that Sunday…thank you Jesus.
I left Canada that Sunday afternoon thinking that maybe, I wasn’t supposed to leave…maybe I should move to Canada, but then I remembered, I’m a Georgia girl at heart and I had to come home 
!
This past Saturday, I spoke at a women’s evening in Alabama, and it was such a joy. I was able to take along a sweet friend of mine and enjoy a ladies night out. And even though I was the speaker, it was still so much fun….I shared my heart with these women and could feel the Spirit of the Lord in that place. I was blessed to hear a powerful voice sing for Jesus and went away from that place with a few more friends!!!
To end this long update, I have some encouragement for you….sometimes when you don’t feel like obeying God’s will…stand firm and follow through…His plan is something you could never imagine for yourself. I have found no greater joy (not even with my Child, and that’s BIG) than knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am in the presence of The Holy Spirit…as a matter of fact it brings chills to my body thinking about it….You were made by God for God…He loves you more than anything in the world….That is the greatest feeling of all!!!! God Bless! 1 John 3:16
