It's amazing! 2009 has just started but already it seems to be moving so fast. Another week has come and gone. I thought it might be fun to share with you a few highlights of my past week. Believe it or not, some people wonder what I do all week! Ha!
Monday's Highlight - I had three bank presentations which may sound boring to you, but I loved it! I loved it because I was able to share about our new project on the I-55 service road. I also had the opportunity to brag on you and tell our story about how BIG God is among us. I am not sure how it affected the bank presidents, V.P's, and loan officers, but it moved me just hearing myself. Have you ever seen someone do a skip and then tap their shoes together on one side? Well that was me when I left each bank. Oh, how AWESOME our God is!
Tuesday's Highlight - Tuesday I went to a pastors meeting in Slidell. It wasn't the meeting itself that made my day, but the vulnerability of an older pastor sharing with us about his life. I am so encouraged when pastors come to the realization that they can be real! I believe that this glorifies God because all of the credit for anything good goes to Him. I don't have time for fakes, and no patience for games.
Wednesday's Highlight - Connect Night!!! Oh what a great night getting to know a room filled with new people, all sharing their spiritual journeys together. It was a night that brought laughter and tears. Hey! A shout-out to Gerry and Brenda Zeringue for being incredible hosts and leaders!
Thursday's Highlight - I found myself in jail! I was visiting a young man in the Tangipahoa Parish Jail in Amite. My intention was to go and encourage him, but God was already at work inside of him. I have to tell you that it moved me spiritually. I loved praying and sharing with him and witnessed God really transforming his life.
Friday's Highlight - Wedding! Big weekend for Daniel and Margie! Getting to know Daniel and Margie has been such an enjoyable experience...doing pre-marriage counseling, and planning the special ceremony. They have such a sweet spirit about them and I really want their wedding to be everything they dream it would be. When you see them at church or around, don't forget to congratulate them.
