This is a little late, but we had the best time on our girls trip to Oklahoma City to attend the Beth Moore, Priscilla Shirer, Kay Arthur - DEEPER STILL - Conference. We had such a great time together and more importantly the Lord spoke an incredible word to each of us! It was exactly what I needed to hear. I wish I could relay all of what those three incredible ladies had to say, but God just speaks through them in a remarkable way and I don't think I could do it justice. One of the things that really stood out to me was what Priscilla Shirer spoke on and that was Eph. 3:20-21 "Now to him who is able to do EXCEEDINGLY, ABUNDANTLY, ABOVE AND BEYOND all that we ask or imagine..." it just really hit home with me as I blindly trust God that His plan is perfect in all of the un-known we have in the next few years. She spoke about how sometimes we tend to limit God to what we have experienced Him do from previous times in our lives. I know I have been extremely blessed in so many ways and God ALWAYS does exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond when I look back on it... but somehow when i'm in the moment my "box" limits my ability to see what He is doing around me.... not sure if that makes any sense... needless to say, the conference was great.
We also had such a blast spending time together! We got to celebrate Anne Marie's and my birthday together and had so much fun. I think we should make it a yearly trip :) I feel so blessed that I can go on a trip with my mom, mother-in-law and sister-in-law and have such a wonderful time! (and even all stay in the same hotel room!) I know there aren't a lot of people who could (or would want to) do that! Here are a few pics from the weekend:
