How wise to recognize the set backs as the enemy's attempt to thwart what God wants to do.<BR/><BR/>By now you are probably getting ready for your evening. Know that I am praying and waiting expectantly with you to see what the Lord will do tonight. I know it will be something big! Can't wait to see how He uses you my friend to pour into the lives of those Michigan mommies!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-5637214609314012852007-09-13T14:14:00.000-04:002007-09-13T14:14:00.000-04:00Hi Karen!

She cautioned us on how to schedule them, saying that if we already knew it was going to be a stressful time with 'other' life things not to book a talk somewhere because everything would be multiplied. (I know you know all of this from first hand experience!!) I pray that you will be blessed with multiplied blessings for persevering through the stress to get where you needed to be. I praise God with you for answered prayer, for his concern about the details of our lives, and for such a wonderful loving husband who could speak into your situation and take the crazies away (at least for a bit). I'd love to hear you speak sometime. I know the Lord must use you in powerful ways (maybe that you aren't even aware of). Bless you and your ministry!!It's OK to be WEIRD!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02823285186226575920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-41303514391682674742007-09-12T07:53:00.000-04:002007-09-12T07:53:00.000-04:00Thanks so much for sharing that.

And, things seem to fall apart just before a speaking engagement because Satan just hates what God does through you at those events. He's been working overtime. But you just gave God even more glory through how you handled his attacks! Amen. :)Jen @ irrationallovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08657377680139861124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-20703504517717929942007-09-12T07:15:00.000-04:002007-09-12T07:15:00.000-04:00Could've written any part of this myself... :)Thin...Could've written any part of this myself... :)<BR/><BR/>Things are going to be great and God's going to speak through you...

May he uplift and prepare you, may he take you to a new place in the Spirit. May you see more victories in the personal and in the group setting.
