Just an update on Ladies Challenge.
Many of you have been praying for the weekend to go well and for all involved to have safe travels and a good time. I must let you know that those prayers were heard and answered.
We had a wonderful time with the ladies. I felt like this year, really got to spend time with the ladies and got to know them better. Last year, you could have rolled me down the street because I was 39 weeks pregnant. I wasn't really into socialization at that point!
There were several speakers who hadn't spoken before and to tell you the truth, I was impressed. They had obviously spent some time in thought and prayer about their lessons.
I am glad and sad at the same time that the Ladies Challenge for this year is over but I am excited to start planning for next year soon.
You need to be informed about the awesomeness of the ladies that I have the privilege of knowing in Palmerston North. I am so thankful for them and the example that they have set for me.
Some have asked for the poem that I wrote and used in my lesson. I thought I could post it here and then you could find it whenever you wanted! Pictures to follow soon!
Happy If...
Happy if I'm breathing
Happy if I'm loved
Happy with my blessings
from the Lord above
Don't worry 'bout tomorrow
for it has cares all its
own
Happy simply knowing
I don't walk this road
alone
My God is walking with me
and He likes to see me
smile
but He knows the things
this world can give
won't make it all
worthwhile
I need his hand to guide
me
from a terrifying cliff,
I tread the edge by
thinking
I'd be happy only if...
Happy if I'm richer
Happy if I'm poor
Happy if I had much less
Happy if I'd more
The only way to happy
is to look to God's own
Son
and realize He'd still die
for me
if I was the only one
Content has overwhelmed me
I know the answer is
the only 'happy if' should
be
'Happy if I'm His.'
