I am FREE!

Let me just start off saying, "GOD IS SOOO GOOD"
Imagine Me Set Free-Denver, CO and Imagine Me Set Free-San Antonio, TX were incredible. God came into those retreat centers and "filled our thirsty hearts..." I am so thankful to be able to worship with you, ladies! You filled my heart with joy as I listened to your hearts crying out to the Lord through song. I know your voices were a joyful noise unto the Lord. Bless you!
Reading your prayer requests broke my heart. A lot of you have health, financial, marital problems. I know, from my own experience, how it can seem that God is so far away. That the most important things are being stripped from your life. Its hard. However, as I shared with the Denver ladies, if we never went through the desert, or the fire, or the battle...the harvest would not be as encouraging nor would we see God's presence as strongly. It is in those hard times that the Lord draws us near to Him and comforts us. I will continue to lift you ALL up. You will forever be in my heart. My prayer for you is that in these hard times you surround yourself with the friendships you established over the weekend and you keep your attention on the Lord and HIS good plan=) Also remember, the God we serve "created the Earth and everything in it. The world and all it's people..." He is everywhere and in control of everything. I think HE can handle our problems;) if we choose to let Him. I am filled with awe as I typed those last few sentences. I am filled with wonder at the thought of how strong and creative He is. We are so creatively and affectionately designed.

Keep in touch ladies! I love hearing from you and how God is working in your lives!!!

I would appreciate prayers for my worship team as we are stuck in Denver=)
Our hometown Nashville is underwater. The news said that Nashville recieved a three months amount of rain in one and a half days. There are a lot of homeless, stranded, hurting people. As you talk to the Lord please remember them. As far as I know my home, my mother's home, and Haley's home are all okay. THANK YOU LORD!

Have a blessed week!
Love,
