Living Proof . . .

I had an incredible opportunity to visit Springfield, Illinois this past weekend and worship with nearly 9,000 other women (and a few brave men) at a Living Proof Ministries event featuring Beth Moore and Travis Cottrell. I've participated in many of Beth Moore's Bible Studies at our church and was looking forward to hearing and seeing her live. In the photo below, I assure you that she was indeed "THIS close" to me!



Our women's ministry coordinator began planning this trip last winter. The wait to get to this weekend seemed like a long one, but it was well worth it!

Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD. Psalm 27:14


"Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks." John 4:23


Did I mention that the convention center holds 8,800? Beth told us that this was the first sell-out for a Living Proof event AND that the convention center hadn't seen the likes of a crowd our size since Elton John came to town in the 90's. (Even then, he himself didn't have a sell-out!)

"Let the assembled peoples gather around you.
Rule over them from on high" Psalm 7:7

The worship time was amazing. The Lord showed up in a powerful way and I can honestly say that His presence was literally overwhelming!

Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Psalm 100:2



It was a joyful time, indeed!
