MY EXPECTATIONS MET!

This past weekend, it was my privilege to participate in a ladies conference in Lubbock, Texas. Priscilla Shirer was the keynote speaker and my heart was challenged, confronted, and cleansed through the Biblical teaching I heard.
It was my joy to teach on "Heart Friends" with my co author and friend, Shirley Moses, and on "Pursuing Holiness", a lifelong passion of my heart.
The blessings came from the hearts of the women I met and had the opportunity to speak with and pray over.
I am generally flying back to Alabama on Sat. afternoons, but this time, I had to stay over on Sat. night affording me the opportunity to go to dinner with some special new friends from the church. Thank you for the food and fellowship.
This week I covet your prayers. God is doing a work in my heart cutting away some dead flesh and it is proving to be a painful process. The plea to "Create in me a clean heart" often invites the knife to be applied to it. Painfully but never without purpose does our Lord perform His work!
Thanks for sharing these moments with me!

A HUGE TIME IN TEXAS!

Ross and I returned last Sunday to Houston for our 3 months checkup and Ross received a great report - nothing new or suspicious was detected concerning his squamos cell (head and neck) cancer. We have been blessed with miracle upon miracle as we have fought this 7 year illness. Through 4 radiation treatments, 4 surgeries, and 2 chemo treatments, Ross has continued to work. Thank you God for this continual healing and thank you, too, for every prayer uttered on our behalf.
Ross flew home on Wednesday as I was flying on to Dallas, to drive to Lufkin, Texas for a weekend conference. God truly blessed the 300 women who gathered to praise Him and experience His presence. What a joyous time we had doing just that!
They tell me "things are always bigger in Texas. Maybe that's why I always manage to have such a huge time there! So huge in fact, that I am returning to the state again this weekend!
And I'm expecting another huge time!

Sweet Carolina

Ross and I were privileged to have a few days on our own. We stopped in and visited the grandchildren (we visited their parents, too) before heading to the hills. What a great time we had just spending time together roaming through the hills of North Carolina.
I was speaking at the Sweet Fragrance Women's Conference in Hendersonville, North Carolina. And what a sweet spirit was there! God really blessed and we experienced His presence and power throughout the weekend. Thanks for allowing me to be a small part of His work!
