This week of Preaching Conference was incredible!
Of course, I was able to chat with Anne for a bit on Tuesday which was nice.
Every sermon was a blessing.
My grandparents pastor from Florida was one of the speakers and he is such an outstanding pastor. My grandparents love going to that church!! My brother and I were able to go out to eat {to the grand place of Mickey D's--the only place open in our tiny town} with him after two of the services. That was nice.
I was blessed to be able to set up my verse cards on a table at the Conference. That was a huge blessing. I sold some cards! Yay! Now my hope and prayer is that this past week was a springboard to reach more people. I honestly want to be a blessing to others with those cards. One of my friends bought two sets of cards recently. She was able to give a set on "Comfort" to a girl who was re-diagnosed with cancer in her church. It's a blessing {and success} to know that the cards were used to encourage someone.
And of course, most importantly, the preaching was wonderful. I really wanted to be changed not just moved. I was waiting for my "clincher" message. It finally came on Thursday night. The first pastor that night had a sermon about longing for God. It hit me square between the eyes. Square between the eyes. I think the Lord has been working on me in certain areas and it was leading up to that sermon. I praise the Lord for the conviction of the Holy Spirit! I never want to be cold.
With my new phone {woo-hoo!} I'm not on the computer as much compulsively checking my email. That is a ++. Anything to limit my computer time is a positive. So, I feel like I've been neglecting this little corner but it's all about improvement. So that's a good thing. I've missed ya'll. How was your week?

I missed you too...but I was gone as well. I had to agree with all of your statements about Preaching Conference. I committed to spending more time longing for God instead of longing for blogs...everything in moderation!
