. Fear of Interstate traffic - Prior to Conference prayed that God would show me a miracle and provide a 'way' to get through afternoon traffic. Merging onto I-65 from I-24 - NOT ONE VEHICLE WAS IN SIGHT. There was a massive group way ahead and one way behind once I merged. I was able to make my exits without traffic. It happened like this ALL weekend back and forth to the Conference!
2. We (husband and I) are in a 'wilderness' place right now, wondering why God has us where we are, wondering when and if He will deliver! Beth's last message helped tremendously - God is making a way, be patient.
3. The fear thing grips me continuously - fear of traffic, fear of something happening to my family, fear of the future, fear of failure. The healing service was one that convicted me. I realize that not trusting God is a sin. When fear starts to grip me, I'm learning to take a deep breath, pray, give it to God, and trust Him.
4. My mom invited me and my daughters to this. Being in the Nazarene church all of my life, this was the first time I had heard of this conference. She met us in Nashville, shared her hotel room with us, and we all had a great time together. This is a first in MANY years! There have been things that have been said in the past to and about each other. God had previously been convicting me of forgiving her for the past, letting go of my hurt feelings, loving her for who He made her to be, realizing that I have just as many faults as she, have said just as many hurtful things. The past year, I have been praying this outloud and claiming this for us. Although our relationship is not the closest one, it is a start! She is a prayer warrior and I can once again begin sharing my prayer concerns with her. I saw this past weekend how God has been working on her, as well as me. It's a beginning of mending a relationship. As she says, "I may not be here much longer." I realize that and thank the Lord for this weekend we had together.
