Will you pray with us?


Seth and I have been given an amazing opportunity.  I don't know how many of you have hear about the Passion conference that is held in Atlanta GA every year, but we get to go.

It has been on my heart since last April that Seth and I should go to the passion conference. But last winter everything just wasn't lining up. Everything was too "messy". I was barley employed and still getting sick too often to take a car ride all the way down to Georgia. But we also knew that if the timing was right that God would provide. He didn't. And we didn't go.

The time came around this year when I felt a burning inside of me to go to the Passion conference again. Let me explain, it's not that we want to go it's like we feel we need to go. Trust me, we are newly weds with one of us still in college, there is a lot we could do with this money. Plus it's time off work for both of us, and my best friend will be on from leave from the Marines while we are gone. But God is telling us, urging us to go. I don't really feel as of we even have a choice.  Seth said that of we could afford it we could go. I took more of the approach of if God wants us to afford it we will go. I started crunching the numbers so that we could ask people how to specifically pray for us. Then something really cool happened.

I was on twitter one day and I saw a tweet from Beth Moore saying that she was giving away 2,000 scholarships away for young women to attend the conference. I was blown away, I could feel the Holy Spirit telling me that this was one of the ways He was going t provide for us. I applied as soon as I got home and I just found out this Wednesday that I received one of those scholarships. I am so thankful. God always provides.

So dear friends, I'm asking you to pray. I'm asking for prayer in 4 very specific areas.
   That God would reveal to us in His perfect timing why we are supposed to go to this conference
That we would make the sacrifices necessary to make this trip happen
That Seth and I would begin to prepare our hearts now for the trip so thanks would be as fruitful as possible
And that nothing, like time off of work or other commitments would "stand in our way of going."

We are so thankful for your prayers. Thank you for journeying with us.

He's already there.
