I know that God
is pleased with
me, He is
changing me
daily, He hears
me, loves me,
watches over me
and even
delights in me
with singing!
“The Lord your
God is in the
midst of you, a
Mighty One, a
Savior! He will
rejoice over you
with joy; He
will rest [in
silent
satisfaction]
and in His love
He will be
silent and make
no mention [of
past sins, or
even recall
them]: He will
exult over you
with singing.”
Zephaniah 3:17

I attended the
Life in the Word
(Joyce Meyer)
Women’s
Conference in
St. Louis, MO
the first part
of October. I
volunteered to
serve as an
usher. God
blessed me so
much! I met some
really wonderful
women; I got to
work alongside
two
Spirit-filled
women, one from
South Carolina
and one from
Texas. It was an
awesome weekend.
God really
touched me. The
theme of the
conference was
“Totally
Transformed”. I
do believe that
God is in the
process of
transforming me
daily. One night
during worship I
truly felt and
understood,
perhaps for the
first time in my
life on this
level, what it
means to be a
child of God. He
is my Abba
Father, my
Daddy; He loves
me so much! He
loves me just as
I am and He
wants to bless
me in many ways.
There are times
that I don’t
talk to Him as a
Daddy, I speak
to Him more like
this God that is
way out there,
really far away.
When actually,
He is right here
with me, His
Spirit is in me.
He created me
and I am His
masterpiece. I
am beautifully
and wonderfully
made!
“Before I formed
you in the womb
I knew and
approved of
you...” Jeremiah

I started to
think of God the
Father as I did
my earthly
father. My dad
died almost 10
years ago and to
me he was the
holiest man I
ever knew. He
loved Jesus so
much, he served
Him every chance
he could and
Jesus was the
main topic of
conversation
with my dad. As
I was worshiping
and had my hands
stretched out to
heaven, I
started thinking
about my dad,
knowing he’s in
heaven and with
Jesus right now.
I felt my dad
could see me,
hear me and I
knew he was
proud of me.
That gave me a
perspective I
hadn’t had
before, if my
dad could see
and hear me so
could my
Heavenly Father,
my Abba Father.
It was easy
then, in my mind
to switch over
to thinking
about God, and
how He is my
Father and He
wants to bless
me (even more
than my earthly
Father does), He
wants me to have
victory in my
life!
“...that we may
do those good
works which God
predestined
(planned
beforehand) for
us [taking paths
which He
prepared ahead
of time], that
we should walk
in them [living
the good life
which He
prearranged and
made ready for
us to live].”
Ephesians 2:10b

“For I know the
thoughts and
plans that I
have for you,
says the Lord,
thoughts and
plans for
welfare and
peace and not
for evil, to
give you a hope
in your final
outcome”
Jeremiah 29:11

“Or what man is
there of you, if
his son asks him
for a loaf of
bread, will hand
him a stone? Or
if he asks for a
fish, will hand
him a serpent?”
