Another historical post to cover where I\u2019ve been this fall. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

In August we had the wonderful privilege of being back with our friends from First Baptist in Kingsville, OH. This is a smaller church, but they are very dear to us! They are one of the first churches to ever have me in many years ago, and have become friends as we\u2019ve gone back many times. This trip, we took the whole family and stayed at a \u201cmagic house\u201d as the kids called it \u2013 Dr. Dan and his wife Stevie have the most amazing place with ziplines, goats, secret doors, haywagons, ponds, you name it. The kids could hardly believe it, and they are just wonderful people and wonderful hosts, so it was ministry and a family trip all in one!<\/p>\n

The following week I did a concert at New Albany Presbyterian. This was also a sweet night for me as the music director there is my old high school choir teacher who really had quite a profound impact on the direction of my life. Not only was he an excellent musician which just got me excited about making music, but he was the one who talked me into auditioning for voice in addition to piano, and the rest, as they say, is history. \ud83d\ude42 It was so fun to be with them!<\/p>\n

In September I did a women\u2019s retreat for Karl Rd. Baptist Church. I completely re-wrote my women\u2019s conference, \u201cU-Turn: Trusting God When Life Changes Direction\u201d for this one, and boy, did we have many U-Turns on the way to that retreat! It was clear why God had new and different things to say to both those ladies and to me, and I was just marveling at God and all He was teaching us that weekend!<\/p>\n

In October I had several big weekends in a row. First, I did a retreat for the East Central District of the Missionary Church denomination on the topic \u201cNothing to Fear.\u201d I\u2019ve been with them before, and they are just lovely to work with! This was, I thought, a very timely topic, both for them and for me \u2013 I always learn so much when I\u2019m writing my retreats. Then the next day I stayed and led worship and gave the message on all the services for the host church, Union Chapel. They were outstanding hosts \u2013 just served with such a humble heart for Christ during the retreat, and then were just amazing to me. Such a great weekend.<\/p>\n

The next weekend I did the Titusville Ladies Conference in Pennsylvania. This conference has been going on for many, many years, and was held in the most beautiful historic church. I did a concert and testimony on Friday night and then spoke on the life of Peter on Saturday. This was another lovely team with an especially fun worship team \u2013 just loved getting to worship with those ladies!<\/p>\n

Then the following weekend I did another retreat in Ohio for Christian Fellowship Church on Esther. This was a three day format, so we had a fabulous luxury of time, both to meditate on what God was saying and to rest. What a lovely bunch of women too!<\/p>\n

Then in the first weekend of November I headed down to Florida to do a women\u2019s event and the services for Anastasia Baptist Church. On Saturday they had a big women\u2019s luncheon called \u201cBaskets of Blessing\u201d where everyone brought things to fill baskets they took to women in nursing homes, which I thought was a great way to celebrate Thanksgiving. Then Sunday I sang on all three services. I so appreciate the different teams and the way the services were focused on the Gospel! And on my way home, I got to visit with my cousin who lives in Orlando and designs super-secret fun stuff for Disney, so that was a real treat \u2013 I don\u2019t get to see him nearly enough any more!<\/p>\n

Taking off in a week or so to do several Christmas\/Advent events in NY, and then I\u2019m done until next year. We have a pretty big announcement about the spring, so I\u2019m excited for things to get finalized so I can share!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
