Can you believe this is my 300th post?! I am soo excited!! I started this blog almost two years ago and have loved every minute of it. Stay tuned for the next 300 posts. You'll might just learn something new. If you don't, well, don't worry about it! LOL
Our church is doing the Beth Moore bible study called "A Woman's Heart - God's Dwelling Place." This past week, we were looking at God's provisions for the Israelites while they were in the desert as described in Exodus 16. We read the verses about the manna and quail He gave them. They didn't have to worry about their food running out or their clothes wearing out. God took care of their needs and showed Himself to the His people over and over again.
On Sunday, January 24th Ernie continued his sermon series on PASSION: A Life on Fire for God. His topic this week was "Manna in the Morning: God's Diet of Spiritual Growth and Health" and referenced Exodus 16, the same chapter as in the bible study. Each day God is sufficient to provide what we need for that day. Instead of becoming Spiritually Malnourished, by gorging physically but starving spiritually, we need to follow the three principles of God's Spiritual Diet: 1) Eat God's Word daily 2) Eat what is fresh and 3) Digest what we eat by taking what we are learning and living it out. We are spiritual people and we must be fed through the spiritual Word of God.
Then, on January 27th, I was looking at the perpetual calendar we keep in the hall bathroom. The scripture for the day was this: "So I tell you, don't worry about everyday life - whether you have enough food, drink, and clothes. Doesn't life consist of more than food and clothing? Look at the birds. They don't need to plant or harvest or put food in barns because your heavenly Father feeds them. And you are far more valuable to Him than they are." Matthew 6:25-26
Do you see a theme here?! I am still working it all out and praying for God to show me EXACTLY what it is He wants me to see. But, what I've come up with so far is God wants me to read His word, mull over it, think about what He is saying then live it out. I don't need to worry about what to say to people He brings across my path. I just need to listen to His still quiet voice instead of ignoring it and step out in faith. God will provide what I need when I need it.

God Knows Our Hearts and Will Provide
I thought I had posted this story previously, but looking back over my blog, I don't see where I did.
About a month ago, Beth Moore came to the Memphis area to hold a Living Proof Live event. Tickets were $60 each. The day before the event, we were discussing Beth Moore's visit during a bible study and asked who was going. A few girls at our table raised their hand but my friend Shawn didn't. When asked why, she said she couldn't afford a ticket but if God wanted her to go He would provide one for her.
I remembered that before an event like this one, Beth would post on her blog an offer of free tickets to anyone who needed them. When I got home, I checked Beth's blog, http://www.livingproofministries.blogspot.com/, and saw her post for tickets. Since the post had been made earlier that morning, I called Shawn right away, told her about it and gave her the number to call. Shawn called and got an automated service. Since all she had was the first names of the two ladies to ask for, Shawn prayed that if it was God's will He would have to get her to the right person. There was a pause online then the call was transferred to Susan's voicemail (one of the ladies Beth had said to call). Shawn left her information and what it was about. About an hour later, Susan called her back. She offered Shawn two tickets even though she only wanted one. When Shawn asked her about the call transfer, Susan said she wasn't usually the one to get the calls.
Shawn called me, told me what had happened and asked if I knew anyone needing a ticket. Since we couldn't think of anyone, she called Leslie, our bible study leader, and asked her. She knew Marva, another lady in BS wanted to go but was in the same situation as Shawn. So, Shawn and Marva got to go to the event after all.
A few days later, I checked Beth's blog and saw where she had posted pictures from the event. Lo and behold, I saw a picture of Shawn and Marva worshipping God there in the post. It was awesome!! God had totally worked out all the details and let two wonderful women of God come and hear a word meant just for them.
If you would like to see some pictures from the event, click on this link. It will take you to Beth Moore's blog and the post with the pictures. Shawn, Marva and Cheryl (another lady in the group) are 2 minutes and 18 seconds into the video.

Beth Moore is coming to Memphis!!!
I am sooo excited!! Looking around at different blogs today, I noticed Jean Stockdale had said Beth was coming to town in October 2009. So, I went to the Living Proof website (www.lproof.org) to see what I can find. She will be speaking at the FedEx Forum on October 9 and 10th, 2009!!!! YEAH!!! Tickets are $60/person. Since we live just across the state line, I will have to pay to park (if I can find any). Maybe the church will have a caravan. One can only hope!!!

I AM SOOO EXCITED!!!
I am sooo excited I could just scream!!! I found the blogs for both Beth Moore and Jean Stockdale. YEAH!! Yes, Beth Moore as in the phenomenal bible study leader who has written a ton of awesome bible studies that bring you to the feet of God!! I saw in a LifeWay Christian Bookstore e-mail that Beth has a new bible study on the life of Esther that should be coming out soon. I can't wait!!!
Jean Stockdale has written a couple of bible studies and attends Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis. (Their pastor, Dr. Steve Gaines, is my step-mom's cousin.) I am doing one of Jean's bible studies on Proverbs through our Mom2Mom group at church. Even though we are only on Week Two, it has been a real eye-opener. If you ever get a chance to do a bible study by one of these awesome women, I would highly recommend it.
The links to both of their blogs are listed here on my blog along with other blogs and websites I like to frequent when I have a chance. Feel free to browse.
