There’s a Sweet Sweet Spirit – FGF Highlights, Austin, TX

As Fresh Grounded Faith Austin came to an end on Saturday, the room was filled with beautiful voices singing the hymn “Sweet, Sweet Spirit” by Doris Mae Akers. It was the perfect summary of our time together—so much so that you would’ve thought we planned this. But, we didn’t plan it at all! In fact, here’s the reason we ended with that song…

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!

Open up the windows, let the light in
Open up the windows, let the light in
Open up the windows, let the light in
Let the light in, Let the light in

Jo Dee Messina sang that prayer on Saturday, and it caught on! We were all singing it, praying it, and—to be honest—we all experienced it. God opened up the windows of our souls, and His light poured in!

You feel the grace. You feel the love. You feel like you’ve walked into a place where God is welcome and His presence is apparent in each person’s heart.

Well, that’s exactly what I felt at Grace Church this weekend as they hosted Fresh Grounded Faith St. Louis.

God Met Us “Little People” – FGF Highlights, Oswego, IL

I have never heard anyone pray what Tonda, our prayer team leader, did during the volunteer meet and greet. As we prayed together just before the conference, she thanked God for loving us, His “little people.”

There was so much wisdom in her reference to us as “little people,” and I loved it!

It made me think of Psalm 8:4, which says:
