<p>Girl, the women who attended FGF Hattiesburg were happy, happy, happy! It was deeper than the buzz you get from sweet tea and deeper than the happy that comes from a sunshiny day.</p>
<p><span id="more-16878"></span></p>
<p>This group was brimming with the joy of the Lord. And that joy made them strong.</p>
<p>It rained most of the weekend, but that was just a picture of how the Holy Spirit rained down at <a href="http://www.cbcpetal.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Carterville Baptist Church</a> as <a href="http://www.michaelo.org/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Michael O’Brien</a> led us in worship. The women’s voices filled that sanctuary and truly filled my heart with such peace and joy.</p>

<p><a href="https://laurastorymusic.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Laura Story</a> was so funny and wise. And, of course, when she sang “Blessings,” I regretted not wearing waterproof mascara!</p>
<p>I was so inspired by Tammy Rainey, our local conference coordinator. She was so full of energy and cheer! She really was a picture of <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Nehemiah+8:10" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Nehemiah 8:10</a>, “the joy of the Lord is your strength!”</p>
<p>We are praising the Lord for our 1 new sister in Christ, the 37 women who chose to renew their commitment to Christ, and the 44 children rescued from poverty through <a href="http://www.compassion.com/freshgroundedfaith" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Compassion International</a>!</p>
<p>Thank you again to <a href="http://www.cbcpetal.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Carterville Baptist Church</a>, the <a href="http://www.freshgroundedfaith.com/co-host-churches-hattiesburg-ms/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">8 co-host churches</a>, and the amazing crew of volunteers for making us feel extra loved and welcome.</p>
