Dear Jeffrey, and all my other brothers and sisters at EN,

God is SO AWESOME!! When I was planning to come to Hamilton for the WOFL Conference, I was planning to camp out, saving money for lodging. Then I noticed how close Hamilton was to another town which, due to history I won't go into here, is not a safe place for me. I prayed for wisdom and clear direction of where to stay. The Lord said to not worry about lodging until I got up to Hamilton. Long story short, I found a seat before the first session, then realized that I was sitting beside my first cousin's wife! I was able to join her and 8 other women, staying at Monica's big, beautiful home in Cinci!! God not only gave me safe lodging, but women to travel with back and forth to the conference! He kept reminding me, "I've gotcha covered!!"
Praise the Lord!

Jeffrey, you and I prayed together, when the Lord repeatedly said that NOW is the time to act on the seed already planted. You probably remember how we talked about that repeated theme after the conference was over. I have taken that word very seriously, and God has shown it to be so accurate!

When I returned home, I prayed that what happened at the conference and what I received would not stagnate in me, but that I'd see and take opportunities to give it away, letting it flow to others. That Sunday morning, our new lead pastor was preaching an awesome sermon, and I missed the shouts, energy, laughter, etc. from the conference! :-( After the service, I was talking with the pastor and mentioned the conference. He said he wasn't surprised to hear that I was at such a conference because during the sermon he saw "the Holy Spirit glow" in the corner where I was sitting. Praise God!!

After the church service I was trying to help a lady who is moving back out west to find the IHOP-Kansas City Promo DVD to show to her family here before she left this area. This search took us to the CornerStone, Int'l, House of Prayer here near Wilmore where I volunteer as a singer/musician. While there I was telling her about the conference and numerous times, both of us had tears, realizing that what I was sharing from the conference was for her -- here and now!! To top it off, we shared a Hershey Chocolate bar, and truly tasted the goodness of the Lord in more ways than one!! :-)

Thanks to Michal Ann's daughter (I think Grace Ann) for your kindness and sincerity when the glitch with the luncheon reservation happened, and I waited before going through line. The Lord used that time to show me how there are so many people watching us enjoy the goodness of the Lord, yet being left out, when God wants us to invite them in to the feast of His goodness. (Even a frustrating glitch can be a life lesson!)

God continues to open doors for me to share Him and His goodness and love to those around me! The time truly is NOW! Thank you for your encouragement, prayers, and all that you put into the conference! May God pour out blessings 100 fold to each and every one of you!!

Love and prayers,

Marcy Y.
