SIESTA MEMORIZATION WEEKEND!

I want to thank LPM for one of the most memorable weekends of my life. I am so humbled by the service of the women at LPM and the loving kindness which was shown to us. It was so much fun to finally meet the women behind the blogger names. I got to meet Georgia Jan, Patty, Melana and Miesta Moose, just to name a few. And we absolutely cannot forget meeting Amanda and Melissa!

We stayed at the Omni Hotel, which was beautiful. How surprised where we when we ran into Travis Cottrell there also. If there is one thing that stands out about Travis, it would be his humility. He truly is a sincerely nice guy. He graciously took pictures with us and then went on his way. He did not seem put out at all that we women were interrupting what plans he might have had. God granted him the gift of music, word and voice because He knew that Travis would use it to glorify the name of Jesus! I so admire him for his passion for the Lord.

We also got to travel to the NASA Space Center. We loved it!!! All that history that we actually experienced and have lived through. Simply amazing. We can not forget our Thursday evening at the Galleria Mall. We actually got lost in there and had to have two nice young men lead us back out to the Cheesecake Factory. We had our Magellan system in the car, we didn't think we would need it in the mall. Oh well!!!

The highlight of our weekend though was of course the event itself. From the Praise and Worship to the inspired message of Mamma Beth, it was electrifying. Oh and I can't forget PSALMS 119 HAS 176 VERSES!! And powerful they are. The chocolate Texas sheet cake was awesome as was the company of all the women during the weekend. Going outside to share our memorized verses with our partner was moving. Because each of these verses we held close to our hearts all year long. They have become a part of us and as Beth said, if someone were to find them they would know exactly what had gone on in our lives this year by the verse we chose. It is a diary in the life of a woman in need of God's intervention!

What I am most thankful for is the Holy Spirit leading each of us to our verses, and in that mere act, leading us to each other. For when we are together we are not "aliens" we are Siesta Sisters in Christ. We have a bond that goes beyond shopping malls, luncheons and girl talk, we have the love and faithfulness of our Lord Jesus Christ, who tells us through HIM we can do all things. We are powerful through him! Let's take that scripture we learned and continue to follow what the Holy Spirit leads us to do. Send me Lord, send me......
