JOYful Saturday

As promised yesterday, I'd like to share a little bit about our Saturday at the EnJOY the Journey Conference! Where do I begin????

Doors opened at 8:00 and by 8:30 we were singing praise and worship music led by our special friend (and Dove Award Winner) CHERI KEAGGY.  She then shared her testimony of God's faithfulness throughout this past year!  It is just amazing how many changes she experienced in one single year...most of then very difficult changes.  But God lifted her and carried her...and she sensed His presence through it all.  THAT'S WHAT THE JOY OF THE LORD IS ALL ABOUT!

We, also, had the wonderful honor of having KAREN EHMAN from Proverbs 31 Ministries to share her heart with us as she talked with us about losing our "First Love" for God.  Her keynote address challenged us to draw closer to Him and continually seek to feast on His Word and fast from anything that takes us away from Him.

Two more testimonies were shared from ladies in our community on Saturday...and like those on Friday, they touched our hearts is such a powerful way!  God uses ALL of us to spread His love and JOY.

If you are reading this post and you were able to be with us at the conference, would you leave me a message about what meant the most to you or anything regarding why GOD had you there?  I pray that many hearts were touched and encouraged.  Indeed, we are HIS children....and that makes us Princesses of JOY! (Or if you're of the male gender, a PRINCE!)
