Ruth Graham-SCWN Annual Praise Breakfast...

This was my first time attending the Scenic City Women's Network Annual Praise Breakfast. There were over 500 women that attended the event this year. The thing that I love about the Scenic City Women's Network is that whether or not you have been a member for a day or for ten years or whether you are even a member at all, you are always treated as if you have been a part of this group for years. These are some of the nicest women I have ever met and I have never felt like a stranger. Ruth Graham was a blessing and an encouragement! I love the quote that she shared with us..."make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes".

My Testimony (in a nutshell)...

For many years I longed for peace
And something that would bring relief
From all my sorrow, guilt and shame
I only had myself to blame

Time and time again I prayed
Jesus, come into my heart today
Each time I thought I had figured it out
But a short time later returned the doubt

Then one day on the radio
I heard a different kind of show
The Way of the Master was the name
Law then grace they did proclaim

Each day I listened so I could hear more
Then came conviction too strong to ignore
I wrote and asked for help one day
The response, we’ll gladly show you the way

In the mirror of God’s law
The magnitude of my sin I saw
Like a light the law did shine
On all the sin I’d tried hide

With my conscience having done its part
By making ready for grace my heart
I understood that I needed to be saved
From the wrath of God on judgment day

The good news of the gospel now made sense
I could be pardoned at Christ’s expense
Jesus bore God’s wrath for me
When He bled and died on Calvary

Humbled, on my knees I bowed
And asked God to save me now
For all my sin I said “I’m sorry”
And promised to live for His honor and glory

With a contrite heart, I did pray
From these sins I’ll turn away
I put my faith and trust in Christ
And at that moment received new life.

WOTM Basic Training Week 3...

Last night we added four more to our group which was very exciting! Kevin said he was a little nervous with there being more there but I think he handled it well. Most of the pictures you see are from the group exercise in which we practiced using the ice breakers(tracts) to start a conversation. I see the excitement starting to grow as what we have been learning is coming together now. I am already looking forward to next week and can't believe that we will be halfway through. See you then!
