Recap: ACFW 2012 In Retrospect

I didn't get near enough hugs from dearest Beth Vogt

Sometimes God gives us divine appointments. The kind of opportunities that can only be given from the hand of a loving God. 

From the travel arrangements that almost looked as though they would never work out to traveling mercies over every single leg of our journey to the people God guided me too the entire time I attended the conference, this trip was Christ-ordained.

Sometimes we simply have to trust that God's timing is perfect. It's hard to accept that we might not get what we want when we want it, but He knows the desires of our hearts. He knows the important and unnecessary. He knows our future.

Meeting Cindy Woodsmall..what a gift!

Maybe you couldn't go because God has said no...no isn't the end. No just might the doorway to a completely different kind of the blessing. The kind that you might not see right away, but the kind that is so completely and wonderfully God.

I spent the last week and a half traveling to and from and attending the ACFW conference in Dallas, Texas. Never would have I have expected the response I found waiting for me there. And I'm so, so, so completely humbled. 

"Our best" is not often God's best, but trust, dear friends, that He knows our heart's deepest desires and is patiently waiting at your side for you to see a glimpse of our world and future through His eyes. Turn over your longings and desires to an understanding God...He, after all, gave up His Son for our salvation--He understands the ultimate of sacrifice.
