When Past & Future Collide

I’ve worked behind the scenes for years, preparing actors and speakers for the limelight, directing and cheering on from the shadows.

This past weekend I keynoted at a wonderful women’s conference in Memphis. Every detail had been carefully attended to by the talented planning team at Highland Church. Everyone was ready … everyone but me. Fear churned in my belly. It had been quite a few years since I’d stepped into the spotlight. Could I remember all that I had prepared? What if I froze and started saying ummmmm? And most frightening of all … was what I had to say even worthy of sharing?

All of those fears went away the moment my foot hit the stage.

Not because of anything I had done but because of all God has done in me.

When I think back over my life JOURNEY, I can’t help but see the faithfulness of God, his ever present presence in my life. How could I not want to share the mercy and grace he bestowed upon me with readers?

Next week, I have the privilege of sharing my life journey and writing journey with several hundred students, faculty, and church leaders at ACU’s Summit conference in Abilene, TX.

I can’t wait to show others how God uses every detail of our past to fulfill the future he has planned for us. How has God used your journey to change the world?
