Reflections from SHE SPEAKS

I am still trying to process the MANY things God showed me this past weekend through gifted speakers, excellent break-out sessions, new friends with the same heart and passion for spreading the JOYful news, and the quiet time I spent alone with HIM in the prayer room. Over the next few days I will try to put some of those "revelations" and "reminders" in my blog.....sharing with you, my reader, as well as documenting for myself!  I am a "grannie" you know (GiGi is my name!) and sometimes I DO have senior moments!!!!

       Karen Ehman gave a dynamic message on Sunday morning that just keeps resonating in my heart and thoughts!  "Since WHEN did I sign up to be an AVERAGE Christian!?"  In her unique, humble yet inspiring way, Karen challenged us/ME to go beyond what most Christians think is "enough".  MORE OF CHRIST....not necessarily more events, activities, acts of service....MORE OF CHRIST!  Through her message I was challenged to spend more time with HIM, to memorize more scripture so that I will have His Word hidden in my heart, to bask in His presence and listen to Him rather being "Chatty Cathy" (which is my nature! :) ) 

         How beautifully this truth fits in with Lysa Terkeurst's Bible Study that I have just completed with the gals at my church: "Becoming MORE Than A Good Bible Study Girl".  God just wants MORE of US....Gotta go!  I hear my Father whispering....and I don't want to miss out on anything HE wants to say!
