Blessed beyond words

I had a fun weekend planned...today I was going to a conference at church and then I was going to go spend tonight and all day tomorrow with my sister-in-law and aunt-in-law scrapbooking. I was truly looking forward to a nice "me" weekend...well, Jack is not feeling well and consequently has not slept much in the past few weeks, so I am one tired out momma. I, regretfully, had to decide not to go scrapbook, Jack needs me at home, especially at 3am, and I need to sleep too much to be up all night...as much as I SO wanted to...I love hanging out with my sister-in-law...we scrapped a few weeks ago for about 14 hours straight...anyways...I had already paid to attend the conference...so I decided to go. I told myself to get through the morning and if I was too tired (or bored) I could come home early...boy was I pleasantly suprised and BLESSED!

I had the amazing privilege of hearing Kay Arthur speak. While I am beyond exhausted, I am also SO exhilirated! I cannot believe what a blessing this was to me. Kay's talk helped me to see the Old Testament in such an unbelieveable way. I have always sorta skimmed it, not really thinking that it applied much to me (silly, I know), but WOW, it has everything to with me, and us, as Christian women. I cannot wait to devour it. I have such a fresh excitement for God's word and truly feel refreshed and ready to go deeper with my God.

I will share more later...but now, I am off to read a little, and go to bed. My body is exhausted, but, PRAISE GOD, my heart and soul are on fire for Christ!
