The Beth Moore Opportunity

I had a wonderful experience last weekend. Beth Moore with Living Proof Live blessed Columbus, Ohio with a conference! The worship was led by Travis Cottrell and I must say it was an awesome experience. I can't describe the feeling of being in a stadium with 7000 women who are of like mind and heart and worshiping the God of all creation. Whew! I love Travis's rendition of the Revelation Song. I'm still singing it in my head.

Typical of any Beth Moore teaching, it was deeply rooted in Biblical Truth. The key word for the event was Prepare. Beth taught us that our Father prepared the earth for us with exactly what we as humans needed for life. More than that, she opened our eyes to the truth that it is our responsibility as believers to prepare our hearts and minds for the unique plan God has prepared for each of us. Our preparation meets His preparation and we thrive. What a breath taking picture of the love of the Lord for us.

Another aspect of the weekend that I thoroughly enjoyed was hanging out with a fine, funny, energetic, Bible-loving group of women. The fact that it was a multi-generational group ranging from 21 years to 54 years was extra cool. We were all linked by our love of Bible study and worship and, of course, eating chocolate. What a beautiful example of one generation learning from another (and visa-versa). We are made to love and fellowship together and life is good when we do.

Thank you Beth Moore, Lifeway Ministries and Living Proof Live for providing an opportunity for us girls to get away and rejuvenate!
