It's finally here!! After months of planning, preparation and implementation the day has finally arrived. Tonight is the opening night for Amazing Grace...the legacy. I am so proud of all the hard work and dedication so many have put in to this event. Many days I felt that God should have chose someone different to lead this group, that I was just really not what He was looking for. This morning I get up to a letter from our daughter, telling me that God choose to use me and that "I was brought here for such a time as this". That's from Esther, I know that line very well, as I hear it alot in my studies. Morgan did not know that. I get very nervous right about now. I am not a public speaker. Not that I am speaking much, but enough for me. I like to be behind the scenes, seeing everyone else rise to their potential. But her letter, gave me the strength to remember....its not I that speaks...but HIM...that speaks through me. We are so blessed to have her in our life. My prayers have already started this morning. It will definately be one of those days that the conversation between Him and I will just be ongoing. The funny thing is though, then when I sit down to do a concentrated prayer, I won't know what to say to Him. Kind of like talking to a friend all day and then sitting down face to face for a conversation. What do we say now. We've talked all day. May your grace overflow tonight father. May this be all of you and none of us. Remove us from the picture. You don't need us. We need you. Bless each woman that attends open their hearts to worship you and accept a word from you. Bless the men that will be there tonight for their service and their support. Help us Lord to serve you....and to serve you well.
Amazing Grace...how sweet the sound...that saved a wretch like me,
I once was lost, but now I'm found.
Was blind, but now I see...
How precious did that Grace appear, the hour I first believed.
I love you Lord!

Oh Tammy! I am so excited to see what God has planned for us this weekend! I am sure that everything will be wonderful! I am so honored to be able to participate in the learning and fellowship that is about to begin! God uses us all in many ways, and I have an open heart and an open mind, saying "Feed me, Lord! Use me for whatever purpose you have for me!" It is an inspiration and an example of what GREAT THINGS that HE does through us by what He has done in and through you for this conference! See you in about an hour! All My Love, Miranda
(p.s. ~ I can only hope that I will raise my daughter to be as encouraging and supporting, allowing God to work through her just as has been done through Morgan! What a blessing!!!)
Thanks Miranda,
I would like to take credit for both the conference and Morgan, but neither are my works, I am too weak to have done either. God has truly been good to us. We praise Him daily for his goodness. Hope you enjoyed it. And all I can say is to give her to God now. I did many years ago. She is not mine, but His...only on loan to me.
He DID it!! He SHINED!! AMAZING GRACE!!
