Advent

Advent: ad' vent-1. The coming or arrival, especially of something extremely important

Tuesday December 4 @ 7pm at Faith Christian Assembly in Melvindale, MI, I will be speaking at their ladies' Advent service. My sister is the women's ministry leader at Faith and has invited me to share a devotional. The gathering is also a benefit for Crisis Pregnancy Center so everyone is encouraged to bring a small gift to donate. If you're in the area, come on and join us! Think of it as Lucille Ball meets Joyce Meyer. Well, maybe more like Lucy sees Joyce in the distance but gets distracted by the dessert table.
I'd like to ask you to pray for me as I prepare to speak to these ladies. I love the opportunity to share and teach about Jesus but these last weeks have left me feeling a bit like I'm being pulled in a few too many directions. My usual preparation time has been whittled down and by that I mean Jesus better give me something spectacular but fast! I know that Christ has something to say and I'm just silly enough to believe he'll speak through me. Or in spite of me.
I hope to meet some of you blog lurkers out there who come up to me on occasion and say, "I read your blog!" I hope to bring something worthwhile to Advent and frankly, I hope to bring something away too. If you aren't able to be there, will you please join us in spirit as we settle ourselves before the throne during this sacred time?
Together we will answer the question, "What is hiding in your heart?"

When I read this post, I felt the Holy Spirit's presence ALL over me - as in down to my toes. I'm not sure what that means, other than I BELIEVE that God is going to use to tremendously to minister to all who hear you speak.

I will, of course and as always, be praying for you!

...wishing AGAIN that we lived closer - because I would be there. Just call me Ethel.

Praying that the Lord minister through you and believing that He surely will.
I can't be there Sara but you will definitely be in my thoughts and my prayers.
