And verse 9 The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.<\/em> ESV<\/p>\n Heading off to the She Speaks conference last Thursday I thought I would come back with a few writing tips. A list of things to improve on. Honestly, I didn’t have much hope and expectation. Satan’s lies had been pouring into my mind. Before even setting one foot on the conference floors I felt defeated.<\/p>\n Do you know\u00a0what I mean? Have you been there? Feeling called, following God’s leading yet the attack very present, real. The enemy trying to steal your joy, your hope. Targeting the good. Targeting your faithfulness to the Lord. Your faithfulness\u00a0to follow.<\/p>\n Yes, I know you have been there. In a position of enemy fire. However, despite the battle, we walk on. We walk on because our Defender is with us. He is stronger. He has given us an armour\u00a0(Ephesians 6:10-20<\/em>). He has already won.<\/p>\n Back at the conference. What God had for me was more than I could have imagined. While I planned to gain a little knowledge God gave me the gift of relationship, spiritual encouragement, and peace. Gifts far greater than I planned. Sisters, I am still unpacking these gifts and probably will for months.<\/p>\n You see, God has amazing\u00a0things in mind for you and me. More than we can see or imagine.<\/p>\n 1 Corinthians 2:9\u00a0But as it is written: \u201cEye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor\u00a0<\/b>have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.\u201d<\/em> NKJV<\/p>\n God has more for you than those words of failure spoken. God has more for you than the abuse you experienced. God has more for you than the relationship that left you with a broken heart. God has more. God is more!<\/p>\n I entered the conference last week with the uncertainty of the calling. As I drove home, reflecting on the days’ events, I left certain of His calling. Certain that I was right where He wanted me to be in those moments.<\/p>\n There is nothing like being in a room of 800 women who love Je Even when doubts arise, stand up and walk, my friends…walk…follow God’s leading. You won’t be disappointed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To read more stories and testimonies from She Speaks 2016 check out the links to other blogs below.<\/p>\n And BE ENCOURAGED!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"IMG_5171\"](\"http:\/\/godsgoggles.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_5171.jpg\")
<\/a>sus! You can’t enter a room like that and leave with a couple of notes about writing. No! You can only leave such a room changed. Changed by the love and power of God.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
