Heartfelt

On Tuesday evening, 700 women packed our venue to listen to 5 amazing stories of ordinary girls doing extraordinary things.
They had been invited to an event called "Heartfelt"
700 is a number that noone had anticipated!
That so many women turned out on a week night was evidence that God was at work right from the start.

We watched spellbound (part of the presentation was done on video and part "on the couch" type interviews) as each story unfolded before our eyes.
Stories of braveness, faith, difficulty, devastation, hope, sheer hard work, perseverance, great joy, victory -
Overridingly, they were the story of God showing Himself powerful and gracious through the lives of women willing to *go there* in response to the leading of their Lord.

A case of their "setting their faces to the wind and scattering their handfuls of seeds on high" (see sidebar)
Who knows what those stories will inspire others to be and to do?

Incredible how God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called and then He sustains them...we serve an amazing God.
