you shoulda been there!

The Living Proof Live event for Minister’s Wives (with Beth Moore) was incredible. I’ll let Erin tell you all about it, but until then...let me just tell you that for me personally, I saw God’s fingerprints all over this trip. From getting on the plane just barely before the plane took off, to meeting the women that I got to hang out with, to feeling downright good and not drained or weak despite the world-wind cross-country trip alone (I’m pregnant with twins), to even the women I got to chat with on the airplane on the way home… I know that God planned for me to be at this event. He invited me there to minister to me and to give me courage and bolster my faith. It was a God thing all-around, every minute.



It was such a blast to be in a room filled with minister’s wives. On Friday, when Travis Cottrell was leading worship, he encouraged us to be vulnerable and it’s where it struck me that this was such a sacred weekend---a sacred space where PWs could just be themselves and worship God in our own way without the baggage that comes with the role. That opportunity alone was a great blessing.

How often do you get to worship and just be…not be seen, not be the PW, but just be?

I encourage you. Don’t let circumstances (money, childcare, time off work, etc.) keep you from an appointment with God. Don’t talk yourself out of it before you even get to see God move mountains on your behalf. Pray and ask him to light your path and make a way.
