Happy 10 years Living Proof Live

When I was right out of college I had a hard time getting a job... as many do. It's the hardest thing you leave school ready to get a great job and no one will hire you. After many jobs not working out I decided to change my prayer request. I prayed that God would place me in a area where someone will trust me and train me and teach me. I knew I didn't have experience and needed it and wanted it from someone who was great in their job. So I prayed and interviewed, and prayed and waited and finally after 6 months found myself in a office with a cute blond lady named Faith who was telling me all about the amazing ministry she wanted me to work with to help her. As I weighted and prayed over this job I realized this was my answered prayers... this was 1- a ministry (now it wasn't about youth...where I wanted to work- but maybe God had other plans) 2- involved someone who wanted to teach, train and seemed great at her job. So I said yes and soon found myself as project assistant to women's events and 6 months later project coordinator to women's events and 2 years later event planner to women's event's. God had major plans for me and he stretched me, taught me, grew me and it was one of the best 6 years of my life. I got to work for an amazing women who mentored, mothered me and has so much to do with who I am today. I got to be a small part growing an event that has ministered to so many women over the past 10 years.

This week the event team I use to work with at LifeWay and Beth Moore are celebrating 10 years of events and ministry. They will have their 100th event and will hit their 50th and celebrate how God has blessed these events. I am so very proud of them all and so thankful that I got to work and minister with them for 6 of those years. I am who I today due to the impact Living Proof Live, Faith Whatley and Beth Moore made on my life and will forever be thankful that I said yes over 10 years ago to work in that office at LifeWay.

Happy 10 Years of Ministry Living Proof Live! and thank you God for... I am a changed life there is no turning back.

Taking it One Week... or Day... at a Time

I have a new way of living this year... one week at a time and so far it's been the best fall ever. I always get a bit overwhelmed once fall gets here each year. For many good reasons... school starts, Halloween is big at our house, Benjamin's birthday, our anniversary, Wright's birthday and then two days later Noel's Birthday. All of these events happen within three weeks , my sister-in- law also has a October birthday so that will add to all the fun! I just go through it all and am so glad when it's all over. HOWEVER, this is the year of change and I believe it's going great so far.

birthday party from years past...notice little princess leias and luke skywalkers

In August our church asked me to help with a large event that is happening this Sunday. I prayed a long time about it and decided that although it's two weeks after my brother's wedding and lots... lots... lots... of work that God was asking me to say yes. So I did say yes and promised my husband that I would make this work for our family not take it all out on my family because mommy has taken on too much. We'll God has been good... I am actually not stressed this week, I am taking it one day at a time while making time for my family and trying to have fun with what I am doing. The week isn't over yet but I am saying positive and know God is going to bless our family in the process. Time to go I have to cut balloon string!
