Becoming...

I am sitting here sipping my french press coffee, listening to the rain, and on the verge of weeping. But weeping for JOY! (like Pastor Suzette says, a good cry!)

This past weekend was an enormous weekend in my life, and I know it was huge for other women as well! It was the "Becoming" women's conference at The Rock. God's word was shared through Lisa Bevere, Pastor Kirk, and Pastor Suzette. There are so many ideas tossing around in my heart- and honestly I don't think I can express them adequately. But here is a short recap of what just took place...

Becoming Women's conference rocked my world.

I shared the story that God has writen of my life with over 300 women. The real, hard truth of it all. All the blood and guts. And unbelievably, it has brought me more freedom than I ever even fathomed possible! The truth is, it's time for the people of God to stop hiding. It's time for us to come forth and bring release for the captives, to bind up the brokenhearted.

All weekend a picture has been forming in my heart/mind. I see God walking up to every woman in Asheville, and breaking the chains that are bound around her. Every woman will be walking, dancing, laughing and living in the freedom of Christ. I believe with everything inside of me that God is awakening this inside of us. This vision will come to be.

My heart has grown. It has grown in a way I never thought was possible. I am excited about these next steps. And I am throwing myself fully behind the vision that has been planted within my pastors.
