Rejoicing over Richmond from the Gulf!

I am sitting at a table, in a condo, in front of my computer, looking through window at the aqua blue Gulf of Mexico. I would only do this for some people that I ADORE!!! People like you!


On the sweet occasions that my honey and I get away for some quite time on the beach, one of the things that I love most is the extra time that I have to spend with the Lord. 

Time to praise Him and thank him for all of the amazing things that he is doing in my life and through the ministry family of STS.

Our Surrendering the Secret family has just grown and I am feeling the proud joys of being a new MOM!

Last week we completed our 5th 2009 Certified Leader Training at the Heartbeat International Conference in Richmond, Virginia.


We put together a beautiful new display for STS that was visited by close to 600 conference attendees. STS is being warmly embraced by many ministry leaders across the nation. I am so honored to be able to serve Heartbeat as a National Consultant for post abortion recovery and look forward to meeting and visiting more of their affiliates over the coming months.



National Trainers Daphne Freeman and Trisha Heflin (last 2 on the right side) led this training as I peeked in and out form another meeting. They did an awesome job and we fell in love with a brand new team of God's servant leaders. The first person on the left is my daughter Julianna (many of you have heard her story) and my son Andy who serves our ministry Life Impact Network in Tampa as Executive Director. It was awesome to have them with me!

We were blessed with a group of 30 men (yep--we had 2!!) and woman who have no desire other than to serve and honor God by helping His son's and daughters to be healed and restored from a past abortion. They were incredible!!

The day was full of laughter and tears, testimony and triumph, vision and expectation.



WELCOME HEARTBEAT TEAM!!! We love you already!!

I will be leading our next National Certification Training in Modesta, California on June 29th right after I speak at the Lifeway Fully Loaded training to be held in Stockton, California.

The Fully Loaded event will be followed by a Bible teacher that we all know and love by the name of Beth Moore at a Living Proof Live event.

Join me will you!!??
