We arrived at our Huntsville area church around 2 p.m. yesterday afternoon after an uneventful drive from Mobile. Set up went smoothly, and we ate dinner with the coordinator’s family before the conference. Thanks, Jenny, for a delicious meal!
Hearts were incredibly warm and receptive, and we were all blessed by our time with those who came to this conference. We did a different schedule, which included the Power of a Team session by Dad and Mom. It was a joy to be able to share!
We are excited about the Birmingham conference tonight and tomorrow.
“Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward” (Psalms 127:3).
Thank you so much for coming to Huntsville last night. God had you all in the right place, at the right time. We almost didn’t come due to “life” happening this week and feeling overwhelmed but my husband and I are so thankful that we laid down our schedules and listened to God’s plan for us last night. Teri – I looked at you speaking last night and I totally saw myself. I think I am in your shoes (25 years earlier) with my 4 little ones and I so hope and pray that I will be standing in your shoes (25 years from now) saying that God has brought me out of the anger, depression, and confusion that I sometimes feel on this road of parenting. Thanks again for the love and words of wisdom that you shared with us all last night.
I felt the Lord wanting me to do a fast today so in the midst of loving on my household of blessings, I sought all the time I could (and the Lord seemed to give me lots of time today as a gift as the children all seemed engaged in work and play together) to seek him. I just looked on your blog real quick and you have no idea what an encouragement it was to see that photo of a Reversal Baby!!!! My husband and I pray regularly for a gift of a reversal baby. I was encouraged in such a special way with that little girl and the statement of her being a reversal gift!!! I love how God redeems us.
I saw the picture of the “very precious reversal baby” and had to smile because I have three very precious reversal babies! We didn’t think that it was going to be successful because I lost the 1st pregnancy after my reversal and we were going to miss the “6 month window”. God had other plans! My “chances” of having a second reversal baby was only 10%. Nathan was born 15 months after Sarah (the 1st reversal baby) and Hannah was born two years after Nathan! We now have 5 children! Ashley and Joshua are in 5th and 3rd grade (homeschool) and Sarah is doing preschool. Nathan is almost three and Hannah is almost 10 months. With homeschooling a growing family, I really appreciate the ministry God has given you all. You are a wonderful encouragement!
