Nothing too big

This past weekend I got the privilege to go a Priscilla Shirer conference. 7 other ladies and I drove down to Mississippi right below Memphis for this conference and boy was it worth it! Such a blessing! God has richly blessed her with a gift that I am very thankful she is using for His glory!


Her brother, Anthony, led us in worship during the weekend and let me tell you, it was amazing. All of these women, gathering together to worship our creator! AMAZING! Then, to be able to be free in the worship. To be able to raise my hands without fear of people staring at me. To be able to sing and shout out to my God and my King without fear of being judged. Such a great weekend!

I want to share a thing or two that I took away from this conference. She spoke from Judges about Gideon. The first few words in Judges 7 refer to him as Jerub-Baal. Same person new name. Paul was the same person as Saul, in the new testament, but with a new name. When we become Christians, no the life will not be easier, but it will be better. We are a new person in Christ and because of Christ.

One of the many comforting things about being a new person in Christ is that no matter the trial, no matter the battle, we can rest in knowing that God has already won the war. One thing she said that just stuck out to me so much was, "No crisis, no matter how big it is, is ever too big to keep you out of the reach of God." No matter what comes my way, I can never be out of the reach of God. Now that is comforting.

Another thing she said that I just loved was that "God doesn't call you to do the hard things, He calls you to do the impossible things, so He can be even more glorified." So true, I have never thought about it that way! So, don't be afraid to do this or that because it seems too impossible, know that if it is what God wants, He will show up and show out!

Maybe I'll bring out my notebook and share some of the notes I took because they are too good to go unshared. So, look for a post soon with them included. I was blessed this weekend by this conference and I pray you guys are blessed in your day to day living. Remember, God is on your side and He loves you. There is nothing too big for God.
