MIA

If I'm missing in action for a while it's because I've entered the speaking zone. I speak at the N.C. state homeschool convention this Friday and preparations are consuming my every waking moment and every thought. I kept thinking today that I really needed to blog, but my mind is so "elsewhere" at the moment that I couldn't do any topic justice. I knew that when this week started I'd either suddenly go on a creative binge and blog like crazy or the well would run dry due to other priorities. Apparently, I'm operating from the latter stance. Now, once this conference is over and my stress level returns to normal human range, watch out because I'll probably be a raging river of words.

I'd covet any prayers you'd care to pray right now as I try to cross every "t" and dot every "i" before I leave for the convention. Pray that I'll be braver than I feel. Pray that I'll help and minister to everyone God sends my way and pray too for the people He sends my way. Pray that I'll proclaim the messages God has given me with boldness and selfless love. Just pray for whatever comes to mind!

And that folks is the extent of my creative and writing ability for today.

Bonita-
I am praying that your mind is crystal clear, that you have discernment and that the eyes (and ears) of your heart are opened to hear Him clearly and speak with confidence. Blessings on you!

I'm jealous of all you NC folks...there seem to be a lot of FIAR moms going to that conference too. Wish I could be there! I hope all goes well! :)

Praying that the Lord will give you peace that passes understanding and that He will not only give you strength, but be your strength.
Blessings,
Joy

I'll be praying for you! I know exactly how you feel!

Trust in the Lord with all thy heart, and lean not on thy own understanding...

Blessings,

Bonita,

Num 6:24-26 I pray that the LORD will bless and protect you, and that he will show you mercy and kindness. May the LORD be good to you and give you peace."

You're in my prayers!

I have been praying for a week and now I think it is time to put it in God's hands, leave it there and know that this is a ministry to which He has called you and will not fail you in the time when you need His strength. His words will be in your heart and mind at all times. You are blessed.

"just pray" is a great way to start any day! (A poet and I didn't know it).

Seriously, have a safe and wonderful event and know that God is with you every step.

Be Blessed and Be a Blessing!

May you speak with the boldness of Paul and the courage of Daniel and wisdom of Solomon and the love of Jesus, and may there be ears and hearts that listen! Please let us know how it went!

Praying the Lord will use you as mightily in person as He does online! Can't wait to hear all about it.
