Blog Tour for Author Marilynn Dawson

This November 2 & 3 is our church's ladies ministry's 2nd annual fall retreat. Much prayer led us to the theme or topic of The Bride of Christ. We have a small congregation so the planning of this event is in the hands of two women: myself and my pastor's wife. So we began the planning and preparation for the retreat.

I began looking for different ideas on Pinterest and created a Pinterest board dedicated to the retreat and named it "Bride of Christ". This is a very intimidating and serious subject and so we have not been taking it lightly at all. Our retreat consists of 3 "Sessions" and we had already figured out what #1 would be and #2 would be taken care of by our guest speaker. We were kind of stumped as to what to do about session #3...so we just kept praying...

On September 22 I received an e-mail from a lady by the name of Marilynn Dawson. She just published a series called "Becoming the Bride of Christ: A Personal Journey". Marilynn was searching on Google "Bride of Christ" and when she got to page 14, she found my Pinterest board which led her to my blog. 
And then she asked me if I would like to guest post about an excerpt from her series as a part of her book's blog tour!

I don't know about anyone else, but I think that was all a God thing! I didn't even know if anyone read my blog, let alone would want me to guest blog about their book! 
Okay, so the best part is that after she gave me the excerpt on October 4th, that I would be posting about, I shared it with Dianne (my pastor's wife) the next night and the Holy Spirit confirmed in both of us what the 3rd session of our retreat would be! We received even more confirmation through scripture as we continued our meeting that night. 

The Holy Spirit leads in such amazing ways! 

So, I would like to present the schedule for Marilynn Dawson's Book Blog Tour so that you can follow along! I am very excited and honored to be a part of this experience.

    I just read this post, Victoria, and I am thrilled at how God chose to use my series in confirming plans for your retreat! I look forward to November 1st and pray it blesses your readers as much as seeing this testimony blessed me. May many women be impacted at your retreat that weekend.

    Sincerely,
    Marilynn

~~Prayer & Moving~~

Hi all my bloggy-friends! People may plan all kinds of things, but the Lord's will is going to be done. Proverbs 19:21 GNT I've got a short post for you today and if things go as planned (which hardly ever happens), I will blog about the first half of Nehemiah this evening after the kids are in bed and the house is quiet :) First off, I need to ask for prayer. My best friend's father is in the Critical Care Unit in Little Rock. He became unresponsive on Sunday evening and has been in/out since then. He is undergoing many tests including MRI, EEG, spinal tap, etc. Please pray for him and his family. Pray for strength, comfort and peace for my best friend Cara. This is a heart breaking situation and I am not able to be at the hospital due to work and family, so the only way I can send my love is through prayer! Thank you in advance dear friends! Also, my family will be moving between the 1st and 15th about 15 miles north of where we are currently. The reasoning behin

All I Need

Very short blog post today, but what a message! This song was my worship time this morning on my way to work. I woke up a little bit late, so I had to rush into getting ready for work and ended up skipping my quiet time, other than prayer while doing my hair and makeup :) This song came on the radio as I was driving. I turned up the volume and sang at the top of my lungs. I am in awe of how faithful and wonderful the Lord is. With one hand lifted and the other on the steering wheel, I communed with God singing the words below....most importantly, "You're more than enough for me. Jesus, You're all I need."  Can you feel His presence today in your life? Can you see His glory everywhere you look? I don't need all of the riches of this world or high status...I only need Him. I only want Him! Give Him your worship today. Don't worship this world and it's deceiving modern day idols... Jesus alone is deserving of our everything! You hold my every moment
