3 Mental Notes from Yesterday

Yesterday, I traveled to the Lone-Star State for a conference.
1. 'Though typically air-travel is a honkin' nightmare, sometimes, we get lucky. Yesterday I had all of row 22 to myself on the plane! But I'm not given "luck" credit. It was God's favor. Anything unexpectedly sweet is always God's favor.
2. MIA is mucho Latin. The cafe cashier could not speak English to save her life. But it's good for 2 different people to learn how to talk without words. Missionaries do it all the time. And when it was all said & done with, we both ended happy w/ the transaction.
3. Part of the conference included doing something I didn't want to do. But it was the right thing to do. How do we draw a line between those two? God. God is the connector between "I don't want to" & "I need to." How does God do that for us? We ask Him to.

Saw you last night at C3. I'm hoping to get back tonight. It was awesome! Funny, I had a conversation about doing what we don't want to do with Sierra this morning. :) Enjoy the rest of your time in TX. VickiLou

Ah......C3! It's so funny because I lead a women's ministry at our church called C3 which stands for Coffee, Calories, and Conversation. The first time Lisa was talking her and David going to C3, I was TOTALLY confused.

On Tues nights right now, Beth Moore is teaching on our Inheritance as a child of God. It has been amazing! One of the things she talked about was how we have to claim our inheritance and take possesion of it. Sometimes that means we take that step while being scared out of our minds, dragging our feet, or feeling completely insecure. Every time I have stepped into something I know God is leading me to do with all those emotions raging inside me, I have felt His presence so strongly after I took the step of obedience.
