Hello precious sister Lynda Ann. We welcome YOU today. You are truly a Guest of Honor in this regrettably male dominated venue. Haha.

Thank you for sharing the wonderful story of YOU and the Good Shepherd, your faithful Guide and Pursuer. It really made my day.

My passion to see men AND women unleashed for ministry (service) is never satisfied, you see.

Earlier this week I was considering how, in God's providence, that is was the 'lowly' women at the Tomb of Jesus who were dispatched to tell the others... Who could make up such a thing in the ancient world or even today?

I also, and most others among us, seem to have had a huge unexpected, unwanted life altering experience. But God was good and we came out of it years later with a deeper connection with HIM. And renewed vigor for the Kingdom.

How true it is: Man proposes - God disposes. Sometimes the Almighty One has other plans.

For many of us, He still saves the best wine for last, so to speak. That is remarkable because He owes us nothing. Thankfully He came not to condemn but to seek and save the lost.

And we KNOW that all things work together for GOOD to those who love God and are called... Romans 8.
