Luncheon Countdown

WOW!!! Can I tell you how excited I am? We are just so excited to see what God is going to do through our very first SHINE Women's Luncheon. I have scheduled this to post at noon, so that means there will be exactly 24 hours left. We look forward to an afternoon of new friendships, great food, and experiencing God's presence in a room full of REAL women who just want to grow closer to each other and to our Heavenly Father.. or as I like to say, "My Daddy."

If you are coming to SHINE tomorrow, or even if you received an invitation and can't make it, I want you to know that you have been prayed for all week. The girls and I have really felt the need to just pray power, peace, and new perception into your life this week. God has shown us how WE ALL are so much alike, dealing with the same family issues, insecurities, work frustrations... we all share SOOOO much. Not one of us is better or worse than the other. It has been such a blessing to lift each and every one of you up in prayer.

Just for the record, any of you who are still a little confused.. THIS IS A FREE EVENT!!! Yes, don't worry about having to pay for your meal or anything else. God made it very clear that this event had a specific purpose and the purpose includes blessing you with a wonderful meal and environment like provided at The Wrenn House. I am so sorry we didn't make that as clear as we had intended and hope it hasn't kept anyone from coming. If you are reading this now and declined for that reason, PLEASE call me and we will put you on the list to come. We don't want ANYTHING to hinder you from coming and experiencing what God has for us.

Pray for Sherry, Dori and I. We want more than anything else to do and say what GOD wants. You will not enjoy yourself or leave feeling fulfilled if we are not able to only rely on Him. He has great things in store and we are SO excited to see what is going to happen.

We love each and every one of you. We look forward to spending an afternoon in God's presence with YOU! And since, this is our first event, we will see lots of things that can be improved, so don't be afraid to tell us. One was not telling you clearly that it was free. The other was giving the address of The Wrenn House.. so click here for the directions. And lastly.. we didn't tell you how to dress.... WHY? Cause it doesn't matter! If you want to dress up, then do it. If you want to wear your jeans and flip flops, then do it. We just want you to be comfortable.

I am going to leave you with a word that God gave me right now just for each of us. It is from Matthew 11:6...

"The blind see,

The lame walk,

Lepers are cleansed,

The deaf hear,

The dead are raised,

The wretched of the earth learn that God is on their side.

'Is this what you were expecting? Then count yourselves most blessed!'"

Come out tomorrow and be blessed!
