mine to pull back and look at the big picture and still give adequate attention to the details. I think for the most part that happened for our Women’s Conference.As I walked around the first day I was so blessed by what I saw:
- Women sitting in their small groups talking to interns and staff.
- Registration books being read.
- Masotho’s singing new English songs….and each worship time they got louder and louder.
More highlights:
Every time I got up to speak, I had butterflies in my stomach…..oh good, I said the speakers name right…. Sometimes it is the little victories that matter. J
Every break went off well….Lunch was served and we were still doing good with time…the power stayed on!
That night, I was exhausted….and then Day two… a few more logistics….more butterflies….and more blessings…
I spent more time with the women that we serve….heard stories, hugged necks, prayed for them…and caught them when they were slain in the spirit (or at least tried to).
The Holy Spirit was definitely in the meeting…..and He did not discriminate on whom he ministered to. I felt Him…all over. It was worth it.
I don’t know if I can explain how satisfying it was to give our best….our best table decorations, our best food, our best tea breaks, our best ministry, the best of our lives…..and have it received by women who were appreciative and loving. Their eyes spoke volumes…. I hope that I can continue to focus on the details and pursue excellence with the flexibility to let the Holy Spirit change my plans, schedules, and time tables. This is the cry of my heart…..I want to allow God to be in control at all times…even when it might be inconvenient. I trust that it will be amazing and for the best. I pray that the gifts we gave will continue to minister to them and those they serve and interact with.
