WellSpring

I had a great time this weekend at WellSpring Women's Event in Arkadelphia, AR. The women were so warm and open to God's Word. Thanks to everyone who worked hard to make the event a huge success!!

I want to share with you the key points from the two sessions I led.

The first session was on simplifying our life. Wow! We need to hear what God's Word has to say on this important topic. The key verse for this session was Psalm 25:15, "My eyes are ever on the Lord for only He will release my feet from the snare." Scripture taught that a life that pleases God focuses on the Him. We learned the difference between a glance and a gaze. When we gaze, we are released from the traps in our life.

The second session was Free to Thrive! We saw in God's Word that we do not have to live a life that merely survives. We are called and equipped to Thrive! To thrive means to progress towards a certain goal. As believers in Jesus Christ, our goal in life must be conformity to Jesus. God’s Word plays a key role in this process. Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32 If we are going to Thrive, we must ask ourselves--- “What am I holding on to?” And, “Is it setting me free?”

If you attended WellSpring, I want to encourage you to post your "take home" lessons. What did you learn this weekend and how are you going to incorporate these truths into your daily life? Remember, the truths God speaks into our lives must be more than head level knowledge. We must surrender to His teachings and ask Him to write them on our hearts.

I love you and I am praying for you! May your walk with Christ be filled with love as you walk in step with Him! I hope to see you again soon.
