If you’re looking for family fun Thanksgiving ideas, be sure to check out my Thanksgiving Ideas from A to Z.

Do you ever long for a fresh reminder of Who God is and what He is capable of doing??

Last week, I spent the first half of my time on my sick bed stressed out and almost paralyzed with fear and discouragement.

Besides being a wife and mom, this fall is an exciting season of ministry opportunities, Bible study writing, and speaking events.

Being unable to breathe due to my asthma, and struggling with bronchitis was not part of MY plan! AHHHHH!

I finally surrendered to the fact that I was sick (and trying to push through wasn’t helping matters) and had a good cry about it all.

I also came to the realization that me being sick was not a surprise to God, and that He was fully capable of running things without my help. 🙂

So rather than pout and whine, I decided to use my time under my covers reflecting on Who He really is and what He is capable of doing.

I’m such a simple girl, so I started with A and made a list to Z…thinking of His character, His heart, His power….

It went something like this…

A ~ God, You are amazing…and I thought about how Amazing and Awesome He is!

B ~ God, You are Beautiful…and I reflected on His beauty and His majesty

C ~ God, You are our Creator…and I praised Him for creating us in His very image

You get the drift! 🙂

It was also fun to think about the amazing ways I’ve watch Him answer prayers. Here is my one of my favorite answered prayer stories…

(Again, not scripted just sharing my heart and God’s story….thank you for your grace….)

Isn’t God so fun??

And Yes, He is a God that makes the impossible possible!!!

So even though last week I missed a week of preparation time, I’m trusting God to make up that time in His own unique way.

And although I “lost” another writing day today (my little Sarah is home sick) ~ I “gained” the opportunity to lean even harder on God and His Word, and love on my little one (which I love to do!!).

What is it you need these days, my friend??

A fresh reminder of His strength and grace??

A special measure of His presence and peace???

A token of encouragement?? His healing touch?? A miracle in the midst of your relationship challenge??

Please be reminded that our God is Who He says and that He can make the impossible possible!!!

I would love to join you in praying for you on your journey….please feel free to send your prayer requests my way. And let’s watch God do what He does best ~ heal, provide, protect, redeem, restore and perform miracles in our very midst!!

Thanks for stopping by *She Sparkles*!! God’s richest blessings to you!!

P.S. If you would like to join me in praying for my opportunities in Knoxville, TN this weekend (“praying down some tracks“), I would be so grateful! I’ll be sharing Friday night, Saturday morning, and again on Sunday. Please let me know of your interest, and I’d joyfully send more details to you. Prayer is the work…of this I am sure!! 🙂

Cindy mentioned each woman at least once by name throughout her sessions.

"As women's ministry leaders know, finding a speaker who is Right AND Relevant is quite a task.

God led us to Cindy last spring as a speaker for our fall retreat at Mackinac Island. Even then, I did not realize what a gifted messenger she would be.

With almost 70 women present, Cindy mentioned each woman at least once by name throughout her sessions. She did not shrink back from telling her testimony, as difficult as it must have been. And she opened the book of Revelation to our ladies with insight and application like few women I have ever heard.

Thank you, Cindy for marking this retreat as a milestone in women's ministries at Woodside Bible Church. Praying we will never be the same."

Cindy’s enthusiasm for the Lord is contagious…

"You will find no one more highly motivated to see lives changed by God’s love and grace than Cindy. Cindy’s enthusiasm for the Lord is contagious and many women have testified that she has ministered to them from the message she delivered.

Cindy’s personal testimony has been one of transformation for God’s Glory. She continues be used by God through her testimony for the many women who have had similar life circumstances and for others who can see what God can do!"

Several attendees have continued to comment on how great she was months after the event.

"Cindy came to Texas and lead three sessions during our overnight Fall Women’s Retreat. Each Biblically based session was well thought out and touched each of us as she dove into finding balance in our unbalanced world. She made sure to tailor the message to our audience of multi-generational women in all stages and phases of life. However, it was in the ‘down time’ that Cindy deeply connected to several of the ladies who were so moved by her messages that they later were able to share private tears together. It was lovely to see God’s hand of healing being brought to the ladies of our church through Cindy’s powerful words and gentle spirit. Several attendees have continued to comment on how great she was months after the event. Cindy will be a great addition to your event/retreat too."
