This weekend was a much needed time of refreshment for me. The Lord knew I needed some time where I was a captive audience so to speak, and so He brought me to a ladies' conference. I've been kind of flighty/"too busy" lately, but this weekend He reminded me of how wonderful it is to have eyes that actively look to see Him at work, to slow down and seek after His presence and the still small voice that speaks love and truth to my soul, and to just be willing to be obedient and trust HIM with the results. I know that it is God's will for me to do these things, and so I will endeavor to do them by His marvelous grace.
The whole trusting-Him-with-the-results-thing. That hasn't been something that I have been especially good at lately. I have been "fretting a little" about some things, like the completeness and future of my homeschooled daughter's education. Clearly a sin of not acknowledging in my heart that God is in control and His plans are GOOD!
The speaker at the conference was Lysa TerKeurst, president of Proverbs 31 ministries. The website is proverbs31.org if any of you ladies want to check it out. She was very encouraging. The worship leader was Laura Story, and I would encourage everybody to check out her music. She wrote one of my favorite songs, Indescribable, but I didn't realize it until last night. (The only version of the song I had heard was Chris Tomlin's, and I thought that he had written it.)
Verse for today, one that was spoken of at the conference: II Chronicles 20:15 "...thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's." May we each acknowledge that this day, no matter what our battle may be.
