BIG NEWS!

WOW! I don't know about you, but I've had some busy days! And do I have some great news to share with you related to Deeper Still!

But before we get to the BIG news I HAVE to tell you where I was this past weekend! I got to be on the event team for Going Beyond with Priscilla Shirer in Charlotte, North Carolina! Priscilla is on the platform with Deeper Still, but also does a number of Going Beyond Christian women's events with LifeWay during the year. Amazing! Incredible! Priscilla is truly a BIBLE teacher! However, that is not the BIG news.

My favorite part of the weekend is the numerous opportunities for prayer. Priscilla desires that the women attending Going Beyond get right with God from the start. That means spending some time in personal prayer from the beginning. There are other opportunities during the weekend for corporate prayer, small group prayer, and time spent at the altar. There were so many women at the Charlotte Going Beyond who needed this time to stop, drop, and pray! But this is not my BIG news.

All this talk about Going Beyond and Priscilla…have you guessed it? Do you know what the BIG news is? Priscilla shared at Going Beyond Charlotte that she and Jerry are expecting their third child! What is a little lump right now will be a bump by Atlanta Deeper Still! And the ladies attending Las Vegas Deeper Still will get to see Priscilla during her third trimester!

We are so excited for Jerry and Priscilla! Join me in sending congrats and many blessings upon the Shirer family!

Jerry and I are looking so forward to Deeper Still Atlanta. By that time I will be about 6 months pregnant! We are very surprised by this third baby but looking forward to seeing who the Lord is creating him/her to be.
We're praying for a third boy. . . . . so think "blue" for us!
Bless you sisters
Priscilla

Priscilla

Are you going to find out early if it is a boy or girl or wait for the birth???

As a mom of three girls, I'm praying for a little pink!

Priscilla - you know I'm all about the GIRLS! I'm surrounded by them everywhere I turn. I think a little pink would be just the thing for you and Jerry.
I'm so excited for you!!

Congratulations Priscilla!!
If you get anywhere near Tampa, Fl and would like to see Psalms 139 in action I would love to provide you with a free 4D Ultrasound. Not only will you see your baby boy or girl, you will see who he or she looks like :)
Let me know if you are in my neighborhood!!

Priscilla,

CONGRATULATIONS!! Can't wait to see your baby bump in June in Altanta.

I will pray for blue, but are you SURE you don't want a little pink to come in and shake things up a bit?? :)

Blessings,
Dori

Priscilla,

Your mother, Dr. Lois, spoke at Gateway Church in Southlake in March. The Pink Impact conference was so wonderful and I loved the stories she shared about raising you and your siblings and her marriage to your father - most especially how God has worked through all of that. She is very inspiring and relational which is how I learn. I was so touched by her precious heart and spirit.

I must admit I am not familiar with you and your ministry because... well, I just haven't been to that particular well, yet. I have been dying to go, but am working my way through the Bible studies I invested in three years ago (I bought all of Beth's available subjects). I can't wait until Deeper Still or going beyond lands a little closer to home, because I would love to attend. I have a sweet child that I mentor who did your "Discerning the Voice of God" study at her church. She was so touched by the study and loved it. Thank you for being faithful to God's call.

Blessings to you and Jerry and your family. I am praying for "blue" and a change in heart if it turns out to be "pink." God's health and protection around you and yours in the days ahead.

Congratulations Priscilla and Jerry!! I will pray for blue but are you sure that there isn't maybe be some pink AND blue? You never know what God has planned for us. He planned two shades of blue for me after a pink. See you in June

Congrats! This is such great news!

Congratulations, Priscilla. I just "met" you last fall when our ladies' group did "Discerning the Voice of God." It came at a critical point in my life and your teachings have made it so much easier to discover just what God IS saying to me and has helped so much to decrease the stress of a future of unknowns! Thank you, and again, congratulations on the new addition to your lovely family. :o)

Congratulations, Priscilla, Jerry, and family!!!!!

I am fairly new to Priscilla and her teachings - just ended my 4th week of her study, Discerning The Voice of God and I just love it. Last night blessed me so much when she rolled through all of the things that God is through each of the books of the Bible!!! I would like a copy of that by the way - that was just WOW!!!!

Anywho! Congratulations to Priscilla and family and I look forward to seeing her in Michigan whenever she gets here!!!!

Congratulations Miss Priscilla and Jerry! How very very exciting! As a momma to 4 beautiful blessings I know just how precious those blessings are! There will be a small group of ladies from Neighborhood Church in Visalia, CA at the Las Vegas Deeper Still event! We are really looking forward to being under the teaching of the Holy Spirit through Mrs. Arthur, Mrs. Moore, and Mrs. Shirer!

Blessings!

Hey there Ladies,
Thanks so much for your kind words and your prayers for me and the baby. I'm in week 19 now.. . .almost 5 months along. I CANNOT believe how fast it is going.
For about a week and a half now I've been feeling the baby move and there is nothing more exhilarating. It is amazing to know that there is life inside of me and that soon I'll get to meet this bundle of joy.
I've gained 15 lbs and will be wearing a medium sized TENT for Deeper Still! HA HA HA
See you soon!
Priscilla
PS. . . I called Beth when I was 12 weeks along and just blurted out that I was pregnant. She LAUGHED out loud for about 2 straight minutes and then said, "Anything that keeps you from wearing a cuter jacket than me at DS is WONDERFUL!" She's hilarious!

WOOHOO! Are you going to find out anything at the 20 week sonogram???? I think we need to have a shout out on the blog and find out who thinks it will be a girl and who a boy! We can put up a special fun post!
Love you Priscilla! Praying for you!
Michelle
