All The Way

My Savior leads me, oh the fullness of His love…

We have felt our Savior’s guidance every step of this journey. Hebrews 11:1: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

Friday afternoon flew by as we set up for the conference. Others willingly pitched in to help prepare rooms and book tables. Five o’clock arrived, and many families came for the small business session. We had a great diversity of business owners from landscape contractors to a fitness business owner. It is amazing to see the businesses homeschool families are running, and the session is educational for those who desire a business.

Andrew has his dinner.

There was a half hour break before our concert began, allowing time for fellowship and moving into the sanctuary. Music and Be Inspired! went smoothly.

The Lord brought a wonderful group to the conference. We enjoyed seeing old friends along with meeting many new families. I was thinking Saturday how blessed we are at conferences. The Lord strengthens us through seeing Him work and through the encouragement of His people.

Four families drove 10-12 hours to attend. What a sacrifice of time!

Joseph heard from a family whose son accepted the Lord Jesus as his Savior Saturday night after attending Joseph’s Who Is Jesus? session. We saw many fathers who committed to making wise decisions in raising their children for Jesus. It is exciting!

We love being able to do the family panel discussion as the wrap up to our day.

Four families who traveled a significant distance.

In addition to the pure joy of sharing at the conference, several families in the area blessed us with meals, treats, and fresh fruit. I have to say, an orange from Arizona tastes nothing like the oranges we buy in Kansas. Fresh-off-the-trees Arizona oranges were more than delicious!

  1. We echo the above hope that one day the door would be open for you to come to Australia!God continue to bless your travels.

  2. Thank you for the great conference. We were all edified and challenged by it.

    Also, I just noticed the sweet picture of Mary with my daughter Miriam. Thank you for taking the time to chat with her. She is a naturally sweet girl, but has been even more since spending time around you young ladies. She has been going out of her way to be a blessing to me and the rest of the family. Thank you for being a godly role model to her, and setting such a wonderful example for her to follow.

    May God bless you as you continue to serve him!

  3. Tell me, am I dreaming – you have other blog followers from Australia? My family would love you to bless us with a conference here one day! For now, thank you for your faithful reports. Blessings, Dannii.
