"I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth." Psalm 34:1 Friends, it's been such a joy to watch God birth P.R.A.Y Across the Nation Conferences. I invite you to join me in celebrating His faithfulness! Praise Him! "You brought me back to Jesus." "I finally get it. I finally connect the dots." "God sent you here just for me." "You encouraged me in my Christian walk." "I have been challenged to pray in a new way." "I see now how important it is to be filled with God's Spirit or I'm powerless." April 2 God woke me at 4 a.m. and called me to take the principles in my book, "Pray With Purpose, Live With Passion" to every state in the US. In response to my prayer for confirmation, within moments Melinda from Florida and Jenny from Georgia commented on my blog they'd like me to come to their churches. God furthered confirmed this new mission branch of my ministry by having my board agree to the terms God impressed on my heart: I'm to do this at no charge to the churches for my speaking fee or travel expenses. May 28 Jenn Weber gave a resounding "Yes!" to my request that she compose, sing, and record a new song for our PRAY Conferences. My request was part of the vision God placed before me; that a new song was to be written for the conference. My heart soared at her willingness. She's such a gifted musician and her partnering with Gary was more than I could have imagined! July 2 Jenn Weber Sinclair, new married name, and Gary Sadler, writer of "Ancient of Days," "Be Unto Your Name," and "Lord Most High," met to compose a new song for PRAY Across the Nation. After they met, she emailed the following praise to God. "The Lord is so faithful! We hope the song HE gave us tonight is just what you need. It is just a VERY rough recording (piano/vocal) and I must tell you the Lord gave me a voice JUST to sing this recording as I do not currently have one (allergies meets moving ;) ). In any case, Gary and I just shook our heads in amazement as this song came together - we felt your prayers! July 21 God answered our prayer for the $2,000 needed to produce "All Our Hearts Could Want" through the following saints: Vicki Isom, Cynthia & Royce Itschner, Nicki & John Carlson, Linda McConnico, Gloria Lemond, Emily Andrews, Jean St. Clair, Debbie & Keith Williams, Sheila Brand, Crystal McGinnis, Joan & Jim Miller, Vicki Williams, Louise & Phil Lesser, Sandra & Roger Chapman, Jennifer McCrae, Kathy Thomas, Linda Peek, and Pam Couch. All praise to Him! God provided an extra $473 for me to book my flight to Georgia! Thank you, Lord! August 18 Gary Sadler emailed me that "All Our Hearts Could Want" was completed and he'd be mailing the master to me. August 30 P.R.A.Y. Across the Nation Conferences scheduled in 10 states! We have yet to promote this event. God is doing it all through His blessed network of sisters who are tuned to His voice! August 31 Taylor, my son, who was visiting over the weekend, graciously, patiently worked to help me get "All Our Hearts Could Want" on the power point presentation I was developing for the conference. September 1 God miraculously helped me complete the power point presentation. This was done moments before I unexpectantly and hurriedly boarded a plane to go to Irving to be with my sister whose husband was in ICU in critical condition. September 4 Rather than return to Kerrville to finish my preparation for the first P.R.A.Y. Across the Nation Conference, I changed my airline reservations and flew to Louisville, KY from Dallas. God was faithful. I had my Bible, my power point presentation, "All Our Hearts Could Want," and the Holy Spirit filling my heart. Winnie, Jaemie, and Debbie Cook greeted me with open arms. We praise God for what He did in our midst and for the hearts He touched. The women's comments after the conference came so fast I can't remember them all. I do remember He anointed His Word. I do remember the looks on the women's faces as His Word went forth to them. Thank You, Jesus. September 5-6 Jaemie drove me to Shelbyville for an engagement that was scheduled before the P.R.A.Y. Conferences were birthed. The time at the conference was precious, as it always is in the Lord's presence and with Christian sisters. September 6 I arrived safely back home late Saturday night, my heart overflowing with gratitude to God for all He'd done and what yet He's going to do.
