A wild weekend with 18,000 women

Women of Faith was a wonderful experience this weekend. My sister Cheri arrived with about 16 of her northwoods (Wisconsin) friends for a fabulous time at the St. Paul Xcel Energy Center. I did my best to navigate us from their hotel to St. Paul, but I'm used to coming from a different direction, so we had to make a quick exit crossing a couple lanes at one point, but we eventually made it to our seats and enjoyed the worship and teaching experience.

All of the women who spoke had amazing stories of hope to tell us--stories of how God had worked in their lives despite incredible pain. One of the women did vignettes, sometimes hysterically funny, other times heart wrenching, but always there was the message of hope through the laughter and tears.

The music was amazing, too--and it was quite an experience to join in song with thousands of other women, praising and worshiping God together. We came from different parts of the midwest and Canada, from different denominations, some came who did not even know Christ. But we all heard the message of hope that only Jesus can give--that the wounded healer knows our heart's cry and our suffering and can show us light in our darkness.

Till next time,
