The City of Sisterly Love – FGF Highlights, Philadelphia, PA

Philadelphia may be the “City of Brotherly Love,” but we were definitely in the city of sisterly love this past weekend. Such gracious and loving women with servant’s hearts—that’s how I would describe the volunteers at Fresh Grounded Faith Philadelphia.

Yet, those volunteers were just a sampling of the generous women who attended. I received so much encouragement, snacks, gifts, and over-the-top love from these women. Wow!

No Plan B With God – FGF Highlights, Beaumont, TX

I’ve always believed that God only operates with Plan A. He knows all things and there are no surprises to Him, so that means there is no Plan B with God.

Even when our plans get twisted, God is still doing His thing. Even when it seems like everything is falling apart, God is still in control. And even when we don’t know what’s next, we know God is making our path straight as we trust in Him (Proverbs 3:5-6).

So, when we have to make changes and come up with what we call a “Plan B,” it’s still God’s Plan A! And that’s exactly what Fresh Grounded Faith Beaumont was—God’s Plan A! In fact, I would call it God’s Plan A+!

Our last conference for our Fall 2021 Tour—Fresh Grounded Faith Memphis—is a wrap!

Memphis was one of many conferences rescheduled from 2020, and it was such a huge blessing to finally be with those amazing women!

I told the volunteers at the Meet and Greet that this weekend was God’s Plan A! Even though we may have thought it was Plan B since the event had been postponed, God only has Plan A’s!

Despair is Going Down and Hope Is on the Rise – FGF Highlights, Chino, CA

Just before the Fresh Grounded Faith Chino conference began, we had a time of prayer with our wonderful team of volunteers. Our prayer team leader, Pastor Jane—a beautiful black woman from Kenya—prayed the heavens down.

Pastor Jane said, “Before I pray, I always go to the Scriptures first.” The Lord led her to Genesis 8:5 where it speaks of Noah and the flood:

An Angel in Detroit – FGF Highlights, Flint, MI

I met an angel in a red car. Even if he wasn’t a real, bonafide, heavenly-being kind of angel, he was an angel—sent by God—for a heavenly mission!

Thank you to Bruce Edwards for the beautiful photos. To see the entire Facebook photo album, click here.

Just one mile from the Detroit airport and one hour before our flight home from Fresh Grounded Faith Flint, our rental car began to shake. A loud scraping sound, like metal against asphalt, filled the interior of our minivan and panic began to rise! This was followed by the sound of shredded rubber flapping in the wind as my husband Phil maneuvered us onto the shoulder of the road.
