Weekend Women's Conference

Peg spent last weekend, right before Mother's Day, at Eagle Christian Church in Eagle, Idaho speaking at a women's Conference... The gal in charge of women's ministries at ECC had picked the following theme:

After two years of being ruled by the uncertainty and fear COVID-Limbo brought us, the theme was appropriate...how can we, as Jesus-followers, find our way forward without that excess baggage? How can we, like this quote from Oswald Chambers, look ahead with an expression of expectancy...a spirit of adventure...as opposed to breathing out a sigh of sadness when things seem "foggy?"

"Certainty is the mark of the commonsense life– gracious uncertainty is the mark of the spiritual life. To be certain of God means that we are uncertain in all our ways, not knowing what tomorrow may bring. This is generally expressed with a sigh of sadness, but it should be an expression of breathless expectation. We are uncertain of the next step, but we are certain of God. As soon as we abandon ourselves to God and do the task He has placed closest to us, He begins to fill our lives with surprises…" (Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest)
An incredible team did all the behind the scenes stuff...the decorating, the planning, the IT-stuff, the researching for ASL interpretation, hosting a very fun silent auction, and FOOD (what's a good event without good food?)... Registration topped 340 gals for this weekend event that was filled with incredible worship from a very gifted worship team; and, thought-provoking, encouraging, and challenging testimonies! All of this made my job of talking about Jesus so! very! easy!  And, I came home (flying on Mother's Day) feeling full up to overflowing....and, beyond blessed to have had this opportunity.

Thank you to those of you who give to FOCUS, and spend time in prayer for us, that we (Bay and I) might continue presenting and/or re-presenting a Fresh Outlook that is Centered Upon our Savior!!! 
As a vessel, privileged to be used by the Lord, I am overwhelmingly thankful for those who made professions of faith, who recommitted their lives to follow Jesus on His path of abundant life, and who sought out counselors and other women to pray specifically for them over personal issues... It is THIS that always leaves me a bit speechless (that the High King would choose to use me)! Wonder of wonders...
We truly covet your prayers as Bay will be preaching at New Life Fellowship in Dulce, NM this next weekend on the Jicarilla Apache Rez... Pray the Lord uses him mightily and stirs the hearts of all who hear.

Peg will be speaking, mid-week, at Pagosa Valor Christian Academy for grades 5-12. 

Then in two weeks, we will be heading to Michigan, where we will be performing a vow renewal ceremony for a couple who are dear friends... He will speak on Sunday morning at Floyd Church of God in Midland, MI....and, then we head to Ft. Wayne, where Bay has been invited to speak at Pathway Community Church (3 services, 5000+ members)...

Thank you in advance for bringing us before the Father, who hears our prayers...and rides on the wings of the clouds to answer (Ps 18)...

With love, Bay and Peg
