Joyce Meyer Conference

Thank You to all of You who donated for my trip to the Joyce Meyer Conference!  I had an amazing time.  I went not knowing anyone really well, but had the opportunity to meet a lot of the woman, and interns and get to know them. I had so much fun spending time with them.  Joyce Meyer brought the word!  Pressing in and Pressing on was her message, and oh how it ministered to me : )  It went on Thurs. night, Fri. Morning, Fri. night, and Sat. Morning.  On our drive there we took the 1, so I had a beautiful view of the ocean the whole way there, and got to pass through Malibu for my first time.  Everyday, us ladies went to eat together, and oh that was so much fun.  I did not know almost all of the ladies beforehand, but we had so much fun! I am so thankful that I know all of them now, they were all so wonderful.  Pastor Becky is absolutely amazing,  she is so much fun and I am so, so, so thankful to have her in my life.  That wasn't the end of my weekend though, it continued to be amazing.  It was members Sunday where they welcome all the new members and have you go up to the front and cheer.  Felt so loved with all our screams (Thanks Interns : ) )  What followed that?  YES! AN AMAZING MESSAGE BY PASTOR JUDE!  After that we had hot dogs outside and Pastor Jude came and hung out with a few of us at our table, and well, lets just say  Adam and I feel incredibly blessed to have such amazing Pastors!  Funny, and full of Wisdom.  Oh I almost forgot, we led Worship at GC last week.  GC stands for (Generation Church)  the service for ages 12-25. It was such an amazing service.  As we were praying for the service I felt the Lord say "I will move"  and Wow!  It was such an amazing time,  people were staying just wanting to continue worshipping and I think they would have stayed for a long time, but I had to go pick up the kids, and Adam had to go to work.  God is so good!  So yes I have had an amazing week, ( oh except for my nightmare coming true. I double scheduled 2 jobs on the same day and had to be at 2 places at once : (  and yes I had really had a nightmare that I did that and than I really did haha)  It all worked out though : ) Oh did I already mention that to you all that I got another job?  If I did not, well than here it is, I got a job cleaning a Yacht.  When people check out I clean it and change sheets, towels etc...  It is really nice so if you ever come visit you can rent it.  Ok, well I am tired after my wonderful weekend so I am going to go get ready for bed.  Thank You again to all of you who blessed me with money so that I could go.  I couldn't have asked for a better birthday weekend.
