I will get us started! I will be traveling from Nashville, Tennesse with the LifeWay event team by van! WAHOO! Get this party started!

I'm coming from PA and meeting up with my sister who lives in TN.

I am traveling from Pleasant Grove, AL with 28 ladies via church mini-buses. Counting the days till we go deeper!!

We (5 ladies) will be flying into Atlanta on Friday, 6/27, and we will be capri/flip flop wearing bible toting ladies from Roxboro, NC. Three of us attended this event in Nashville, TN last year, and we can't wait.

yep. me too michelle. I will be traveling from Nashville, TN.

Me and my two best girlfriends, Elizabeth & Kathy, are flying down to ATL early, early Friday morning (leaving Virginia at 5:44 am) and we won't leave until midnight Saturday night. We're coming from Virginia Beach, Virginia. Since I just got back from a wedding in Atlanta, I'm trying to plan our Friday daytime activities. There's so much fun stuff to do in Atlanta. But of course the main thing is the event! We can hardly wait!

Hey there! There will be three of us girls coming from Virginia Beach, VA and we will fly into Atlanta Friday morning! We are soooo excited!

I am traveling from Jacksonville, Florida. I am 1 of 6 girls that will be coming to the conference and meeting for the very first time, face to face. We were brought together by the Internet. Back in August, my little boy Tristan Asher Hostetter was diagnosed with a very rare genetic disorder called Trisomy 18. We had never heard of the disorder so we came home and researched the Internet and found lots of sad stories. However, I did find the blog of a girl whose due date was the same as mine and her baby was diagnosed with Trisomy 18 also. I was hesitant to contact her because you never actually know whose on the other side of the computer, until I realized she was the granddaughter of the late Adrian Rogers. I emailed Angie, she returned the email immediately and we have been very close friends since. Not long after that I came across several other sweet christian girls whose babies were also diagnosed with T-18 so I contacted them. What started out as a very lonely road quickly changed. I truly believe the Lord put each one of these sweet girls in my pathway to help carry me all the way. Our family prayed that our little boy would be born alive and live 1 day, we were blessed with 56 days. These girls have become my very best friends and we were trying to figure out a time to meet and one of the girls, Emily, suggested we meet at Deeper Still conference. So, we are coming and we are counting the days! Not only do we get to meet each other for the first time but we get to be refreshed and renewed in our spiritual lives, as we all desperately need uplifting as 5 of us lost our babies within the last few months and Emily's little girl would have celebrated her 1st birthday this month. See you at the conference.

I will be traveling from Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho. I am so EXCITED!!

I am Emily and I'm from Kentucky. Words cannot express how thrilled I am about this event! My baby girl passed away on June 28 of last year and healing truly did not begin for me until I attended the Deeper Still event in Nashville (the same city where she was born and lived for five days) last September. As our precious Lord would have it, this event falls on the first anniversary of the day Miller Grace went to Heaven. As if that isn't amazing enough, He has also paved the way for SIX mommies who have lost their little ones since then and who live all over the country to converge on Atlanta to worship Him together!!! We are so thrilled. This has been such a difficult year and we have walked through such fires with our Lord. The mere thought of this weekend opportunity to worship with Him sounds like fresh water to our weary, thirsty souls. Only our God could possibly have used something as crazy as Blogger to link broken hearts like ours, only to bring us all together on the weekend that marks such a pivotal event in my life. He is an awesome God. And we cannot wait to worship Him in Atlanta!!! I think it will be a tiny glimpse into the Heaven that our babies know so well and that our hearts are longing for.

Psalm 139

I am coming from Midland, Texas and meeting my two daughters from Ft. Worth, Texas. My best friend and her daughter are scheduled to also come from Midland, Texas. Please, please pray for my friend Cindy. She had a total knee replacement two weeks ago and is praying her recovery will allow her to come. Pray God's healing be rapid and complete! Our plan it to meet another one of our family circle in Atlanta so it is to be a girl's reunion weekend. Counting the days. Blessing!

I am one of six ladies meeting in Atlanta for the first time face to face. We have each lost a child this year and have been support for eachother via the internet and we are coming together for the first time at this event! I am so excited!

I am from Erie Pennsylvania, I will be flying in from Pittsburgh. I am a mom to four boys, Luke who is four, Isaac who is in the arms of Jesus and has been for almost three years, Benjamin who is almost two and Asher who was born in February, he met his brothers here on earth and joined his brother in Heaven 35 minutes later.

This coference represents so much to us!

There will be 3 women flying into Atlanta on Thur. 6/26. We attend Pine First Baptist Church, in Franklinton, Louisiana. I was at the event in Nashville last year. I can't wait to be in the middle of thousands of women praising my Lord.

Yep...I will be traveling from Soddy Daisy, TN and meeting up with my cherished friend Dawn in Chattanooga to travel together to Atlanta. It was a God thing for us to reunite in Lowe's after 15 years of separation, and missed long talks about everythang God...Her husband Kerry told her "You have five minutes to talk to Pam...30 minutes later still catching up without taking one breath! I missed her lovely daughter's beautiful wedding and she missed my precious grandchildren's births. Reunited in God's perfect timing to attend Deeper Still for the first time. Can't wait...I'll be traveling in style with my trusty red Precept Ministries bag to carry...everything...especially comfy shoes!!! We'll be praying earnestly for this event!-Feel His Love, Pam

Yvette,

As I read your story I am in tears. I cannot to begin to imagine the sorrow you and the five others have experienced during this year as you each lost your precious babies. Please know we are praying for you all--praying that each of your stories become HIS story. Praying that Deeper Still will take each of you deeper in your relationships with one another and, most of all, with our Lord. Praying for amazing blessings upon each of you as God holds your sorrows and your lives in His hands.

PS--Yvette, I would like to meet you and the five others at the conference at some point. Talk to one of the LifeWay event team members and ask for me (Michelle).

Pam and Dawn,

I love reunions! How great to have your paths cross again! What a blessing! Hope it is a precious weekend for you both!

Kristy,

I am guessing you are meeting up with Yvette and the others. Please know we are praying for you sweet mommies and this precious time you are going to spend with one another and our precious Lord. I am so thankful God brought you all together during this year like only HE can. Hope to meet the six of you at Deeper Still Atlanta--I want to hug your necks.

Brenda,

Please make sure your friend Cindy arrives about 15 minutes before the doors open. Look for a special entrance for special needs (sorry I'm not sure where it is). Because of her recent knee replacement she can come in a little early and will be escorted to some special need seating so she doesn't climb stairs, etc. Her daughter will be able to come in with her at that time.

Emily,

I'm thinking you are one of the six with Yvette and Kristy. As I continue to read your comments, I am amazed by God's grace and comfort upon your lives. How wonderful of God to connect the six of you...you are all so precious to Him...and to us for your honesty in sharing your stories of sorrow and God's provision. The weekend may be difficult as you reflect on your days with Miller Grace one year ago. Know that we are praying for you and all these mommies...and trusting God's faithfulness to be all you need during Deeper Still and this first anniversary. Praying still....

My name is Laura and my great aunt and I are coming from Lake City, Fl(me) and Orlando, FL(my aunt)
I am so excited of the wonderful things that God is going to do!

I am traveling from Valdosta, GA with my sister, Tricia,
my best friend who I have adopted as my sister, Mary Ann, and her lovely daughter, Emily. We are so excited to have this time together for a few days. We can't wait to hear a word from God through Beth, Kay and Priscilla. This is our first Deeper Still event for all four of us. We have been to several Living Proof Live events over the last several years.
We are looking forward to spending the weekend with all you girls!!!

If anyone knows of anyone that might have an EXTRA ticket, I would like to buy one! Thanks!

I am coming from Meridian Ms with 28 other women. We are coming by chartered bus. Many of us are sharing this trip with our grown daughters and daughter-in-laws. We can't wait to get there--to meet so many other sisters and to go deeper together!

My friend and I are coming down by car from Raleigh, NC! Can't wait!

I am traveling from Middle Tennessee. I will already be in Atlanta that week with some family. I will be finishing up my time there at Deeper Still. I'm coming by myself, but one of my friends from home is also going to be there. We are going to meet up at the arena.

I can't wait!

My mom and I will be driving from FL to meet up with my twin sister that lives in ATL. It's going to be a great weekend. I'm so excited for my mom to meet some of her favorite bible study leaders. Over the years, she's studies with all 3 ladies. What a great weekend for moms and daughters...and hopefully my grandmother will be traveling with us from FL too!

I will be coming to Atlanta with about 50 other women from the Hattiesburg Ms area by bus.. This will be my first time to Beth live and Im so excited! I cant wait!

Hey y'all!!

My name is Miranda, I'm 21yrs old, and I'm from Georgia! It's funny, I saw a flyer for this event posted at the Church, where I attended a wedding a last month, and I immediately wanted to go, but I had other plans for the weekend. So, I didn't pursue any further information for the event. Then last week, a friend of mine from TN (who actually prayed with me to recieve Christ this past December)...she told me that she and a friend were going, and I should try to go with some of my gal pals and meet them there.

So.. I remembered seeing the flyer and pondered on it again... and I actually have a friend flying in that weekend from Michigan to visit...so I figured God may want us to be there for some reason. Hmmm....What's more perfect than spending a weekend worshipping the Lord with awesome friends!?!? You know?

Then I looked at the website and saw that it was sold out......(go figure...good grannies)....and I thought to myself.. "Well..it sounded like fun, but guess we can't go". Then something (or Someone..ha!) urged me to pick up the phone and call Lifeway. I called, and the office was closed, so I was a little bummed until I heard that the opening times were from 8-5 M-F. Well... just so you know.. it was 8:59 EST on Thursday...so that meant that they would be opening in 1 minute central time. So I hung up immediately and called back. Got a representative, (Oh yeah!!) and I asked, "Is the event in Atl sold out?" She said "Yes.".... (Awwl...)....she continued..."BUT we've actually just had some cancellations, would you like to buy tickets?" ...... Yes ma'am I would.. you know it!! Two please!!......WoO hOo!!!!

So I just feel like the Lord is leading my friend and I to this event, not just to meet up with my other good friend...but to take me further into His relationship with me. It was six months yesterday that my friend prayed with me to ask Jesus to come into my heart and two months ago that the same friend baptized me in His name, and I just feel like He made the registration for this event and everything, so that it would fall perfectly into place for us to be there. And He's so wonderful too.. that because I'm a financially impaired college student...HA!!!... He even allowed a friend of mine that lives in Atl, to let me room with her for the weekend! So I'm super pumped!!! I LOVE meeting people, ESPECIALLY fellow sisters in Christ, so I know we are all going to have a blast!!!!

Can't wait to see y'all.!!!
Love in Christ!!
Miranda

I'll be there!! Coming from Jacksonville, FL with my 4 sister-in-laws, mother-in-law and my sister! Can't wait:) And we need an extra ticket if anyone has one?!

I am traveling with a friend from Tyler, Texas. I curently live in the DFW area. We are meeting a friend in Atlanta who just recently moved to Nashville from Atlanta. Looking forward with much anticipation for some Christian love and praise.

I am coming from just outside Atlanta with my accountability partner and my best friend from high school (20+ years ago)

I have been looking forward to this for the past 2 months. My friend who lives in Atlanta went to the one in Fla. After she told me about it we started making plans for the Atlanta one. I told her I would take care of the tickets but had to wait until now to get them. Went to order them this morning and found out they are sold out. If anyone knows how I can get 2. Please call (229)339-5644

I will be coming with my mom and sister-in-law from Jackson, MS. We try to go to a Beth Moore conference every year and I am so excited about coming to Atlanta.

I'm bringing my mom (from Fairgrove, Michigan) and several of my dear friends from our church in Smyrna, Tennessee. We're coming in to town a little early for some shopping at IKEA and plain ol' girl fellowship. We can't wait!

Yvette and friends,

I'm from Milledgeville, GA and a blog friend of yours is in my church, Mandy Hopkins. I was introduced to many of your children through her blog and have read your stories and prayed for you. Wow! I can't believe I'll be in Atlanta when you are. You all and your children have touched many. Mandy Hopkins also lost Madeline Grace last June to Trisomy 18, and we were made aware through her. Just wanted to say that I feel like I know you throuh God's grace and cyberland. I pray many blessings and continued healing on you and your families today.

Mandy Eley

Hi. I'll be coming with my sister-in-law. We live in metro Atlanta. We're looking forward to what God has in store for us!

I live in a suburb of Atlanta and will meet my best friend (from Eatonton, GA) and five ladies from her church to spend a wonderful weekend worshiping our God and learning together!

I am coming from Keller Texas. On January 14th of this year I had to let go of my sweet Mary Grace after having her with me for only 7 hours. She was born with trisomy 18. She is beautiful. I have met some God given friends through my blog ; marygracesummons.blogspot.com, and we will be meeting for the first time at the conference. I am one of 6 who have had to suffer this type of tremendous loss. I am so excited about this time together. God is so good!

i will be 1 of 5 ladies from our germantown, tn (suburb of memphis) church small group. we will be driving in on thursday from memphis. we are so excited! i am excited to get to know each other better, to get to know other christian women better, and to get to know my Jesus better. one of our ladies attended last year in nashville and spoke of how wonderful it was and now more of us had to get in on the blessing. can't wait!!! of course, we'll be doing a little sight-seeing and shopping!!! here we come hotlanta!

Traveling from Houston, TX to meet up with a dear friend who has recently relocated to Greenville, SC for a 'Girls Weekend'. We tried to get tickets for Deeper Still Nashville last year...but the Lord had this time set apart for us instead. I can hardly wait to see what He has in store for us!

Let's see, I will be driving down from Knoxville, TN with my momma, my mentor (as least I think she is still going, and my little sister or a related family member-still finalizing who all is going for sure. I know God will bring the ones He wants to be there. Either way, it is going to be a blast!!!! I am very excited!:) I am soo looking for that Word!

Hi, we're bringing 10 ladies from NewSong Church in the Aynor/Conway area in South Carolina. We are so excited!!

My mom, sister, and I are coming to the conference. We are from the Powder Springs/Kennesaw area of Atlanta. God has been showing me how to stay put and bloom where I'm planted and the theme of "Deeper Still", I believe, will be a way for me to learn this even more! I pray God's Word will truly change me, and that this wouldn't just be a "pump up of my emotions". God has provided the money, tickets, and companions to go with. To Him be the glory, great things He hath done (and continues to do). I'm praying for a spirit of true worship, that we wouldn't worry about others around us, but that we would become all wrapped up in God!

I live in Douglasville, Ga and my sister is coming in from Kingsport, Tn. We're staying in town Friday night and we have invited a new co worker of mine to come with us that has never experienced anything like this conference. My sis and I are so excited for her to be joining us.
My sister was living in Hong Kong when I started going to LPL conferences and she was always envious of me having that awesome opportunity. She said when they moved back to the states we were going to every one we could and we have been regulars at Lifeway conferences. So to introduce someone new to them is going to be a treat for us....and her! Thanks for this blog, it's too fun!!

Laurie--I love hearing about moms and sisters coming together to Deeper Still! And I love the thought of all of you being wrapped up in God together! Blessings!

We have lots of ladies (and one man!) coming from Roswell Street Baptist here in Marietta, Georgia. We had a great time in Nashville last year and were thrilled to learn y'all were coming to our area. I got so excited selling tickets to our group and giving several away as door prizes at our ladies events that I didn't save one for myself, but I found one today. Hooray!

As an aside, they have been doing lots of weekend road work on the I-75/85 corridor through Atlanta, so allow plenty of time to get to Philips Arena. Check out www.dot.state.ga.us for info before you hit the road.

I am so excited! I am coming to Atlanta from the small town of Bladenboro, NC with a WONDERFUL group of ladies from my church. (Galeed Baptist Church) There are about 30 of us coming on our church bus, and we are praying for all of the women who will be attending. This is going to be an awesome experience, and we can't wait to see how HE moves!!! God bless, and safe travels.

So excited to be attending Deeper Still.
There are 5 of us, my sister lives in Snellville, GA,
her daughter, she lives in Scottsboro, AL and me and
2 of my dearest friends from Tuscaloosa, AL.
Coming early Friday morning to be able to spend some
time together.

Traveling from Pittsburgh, PA.

I am 1 of the 6 girls mentioned above who lost my baby girl, Eva Janette, on Easter Sunday (3/23/08) of this year. She is the fifth member of our family born on St. Patrick's Day (3/17/08). We were blessed w/ her life for 5 amazing days, 18 hours and 10 minutes.

After receiving a diagnosis of Trisomy 18 in September 2007 I realized that I was no longer in control (now I know I never was) and surrendered my pregnancy to my Heavenly Father. I knew at that moment in my life that only He could help me through what seemed like the impossible.

I quickly began telling everyone about the diagnosis and how I was relying on God to carry me through. I was contacted by a stranger on the Internet who gave me a blog website of a mother (Angie) carrying her baby girl (Poppy Joy) to term due in December 2007 who also had Trisomy 18. I then came to know several others (Emily-Miller Grace, Yvette-Tristan, Kenzie-Maddox, Kim-Mary Grace, Kristy-Isaac+Asher, Karen-Jacob) who were on the same path as I. It was that very moment I began to carry these other mothers, families and their precious babies in my heart and in my prayers.

I truly believe that God brought Eva into my life as well as these women for a great purpose. This conference will be my first as well as meeting these wonderful women of God face to face. I am ecstatic to be able to experience both. It brings joy to my heart to be doing something like this w/ a group of girls that know how it feels to hand your baby over to God after only a short while.

Looking forward to a weekend of learning, worship and healing w/ those who actually "get it" and get me!

Praise Jesus for bringing our babies together in Heaven which in turn brought our group of 6 (now 7) together here on Earth. I am so very thankful.

Chrissy--I continue to be so moved by your stories as I hear from you precious mommies and the losses you've all experienced in the last year. Honestly, I don't know that I've ever heard of Trisomy 18 until reading your comments on this blog. Praying God will use all of you to share in the sorrow and burdens of other moms experiencing the loss of a child. I really want to meet all of you in person at Deeper Still in Atlanta. I will be looking for all of you, searching that arena, until I can see your sweet faces. Praying still...

I'm coming from Chickamauga, GA with two other sisters in Christ. Both women have been such a blessing in my life and I'm so excited to have them coming with me. They have never been to any type event like this before so I know it's going to knock thier socks off. I pray they recieve many blessings from this event and leave with a deeper relationship with Christ. Just in the last few years, I began to develop an abiding relationship with the Lord. So many christian women know the Lord but have not experienced the abiding knowlege of the Lord in their life. God intends for us to have an abundant life through Christ and so many women never have taken the next step. I have such a burden for women to know that there is more to just going to church and going to conferances. God has so much He wants to do in your life. He desires to have intimate fellowship with his daughters. I pray that each woman who attends this conferance leaves different than they came knowing the God of the universe desires for you to go deeper into relationship with Him.

I and 4 other ladies from Windy Gap Baptist Church will be traveling down from Franklin NC. This is the first time seeing Beth, Kay and Priscilla for most of us. We are all getting excited. I know I can't wait. I just love to be in fellowship with other Christian Ladies.

I'll be traveling from Peoria, Il and meeting a friend who lives in Florida. A year ago we both lived in Utah.

Michelle,

I had sent an email earlier today asking if there were anymore tickets left because we just needed 1 but a sweet lady from Alabama returned my email and she had a ticket so I just wanted you to know that we found one. What started out as our group of 6 girls (who have lost babies recently), then became 7 girls and now 8 girls. The 8th girl made our group complete! We are so excited and are all counting the days to worship with everyone at Deeper Still.

Sincerely, Yvette Hostetter

PRAISE JESUS! Trusting Him to make the way for others as well. And now I am so excited I get to meet eight of you sweet mommies! Blessings as you continue to go deeper still with Him in spite of trials, difficulties, and circumstances in life. Believing Him to be faithful through it all!

Some ladies from our church are going to see Beth Moore in Atlanta. We are in need of 2 more tickets. Could anyone help us out PLEASE!
email me at pharkins2@homesc.com

Thanks
God Bless

Hey!! I'm traveling with approximately 50 other women from our church (Liberty Baptist) in Chelsea, Al (Birmingham area) on a chartered bus (God bless that poor bus driver!!). We are so excited and can't wait to be blessed by this special event!! We'll see ya'll there!!!

Coming with a friend by car with my GPS from Raleigh, NC.

Can't wait!
Kristi B.

We have a group of 35 ladies coming from Pace Assembly of God Church in Pace, FL. We are all very excited about the opportunity to be with all the ladies, praising God together and soaking up the Word of God that will be taught. We went to the Deeper Still event in Nashville last year and we just blown away; want a blessed weekend!!
We do have 7 tickets available; some of the ladies who had planned to attend have had other things come up.

We have 7 extra tickets. If anyone needs a ticket, please email me at pammotley@bellsouth.net.

I am traveling from New York. A couple of my friends from New York will also be flying in for the event. My mom who is traveling from Tennessee will be meeting me. I am so excited to see what God is going to do at this event and is already starting to do as he draws hearts. Look forward to the fellowship siestas and WATCHING HIM WORK! In his love, from NY

My friend and I are driving from Charleston, SC

We are traveling from Plant City, FL - there will be 14 beautiful sisters in all. We are so excited we just can't wait. Thank you all for being so faithful and obedient.

Praying safe travel for all, see you on Friday Night!! YEAH!!!

HOW - Hearts of Women - The Ladies Ministry @ FBC of Midway, Plant City, FL

I am one of 5 ladies from our chiurch in Blythewood, SC who will be at the Deeper Still Conference in Atlanta. We're trying to get the driving directions straightened out still, and I'm worried about getting to and from the arena, but other than that I know it's going to be an awesome weekend. I just found the blog today and have been crying over the stories I've been reading.....I am looking forward to being in an arena with 19,000 women, and feeling God's presence as we worship Him, learn about His Word, and how to apply it to our lives!

I will be traveling with three of my Bible study girls from Birmingham, AL! We are planning to meet my mom #2 (aka stepmom) along with several ladies from her church near Montgomery, AL. I found out last night that she (mom) has a herniated disk and may be unable to make the trip. Please lift her (Pat) up in your prayers! We were very much looking forward to going Deeper into God's word together. Praying protection and love over you all!

I am coming with a group of ladies from Immanuel Baptist Church here in Greenwood, MS. At last count, we had about 16 of us!

We have done several Beth Moore studies, and we are all familiar with Kay and Priscilla also. My personal testimony is very closely linked with Priscilla - hearing her dad, Tony Evans, on the radio is what led me to start attending church 9 years ago, and I was saved about 3 weeks later.

We are all so excited for this event - it's finally here!!!!

My group of four will be traveling by car from TALLAHASSEE, FL!

We'll be a group of 6 representing Life Streams Fellowship in Greenback, TN. We'll be completing our VBS Thursday night, cleaning up the church, then leaving Friday morning for the several-hours drive to Atlanta, so expect dark circles that no eye makeup can conceal!

One other comment/funny: My younger daughter, Megan, who's six, is feeling very abandoned by my overnight get-away, and this week got tired of hearing me talk constantly about going "to see Beth Moore." (She knows who Beth is - I've borrowed the Bible study DVD's at times and watched them at home for various studies.) She was teary-eyed at bedtime a few nights ago thinking about how I wouldn't be there to tuck her in Friday night and finally just burst out exasperatedly: "I don't know why you have to go see Beth Moore anyway! Can't you just call her on the phone?" :-)

Hey Wendy--what a cute story on your Megan! Praying it was a fantastic week of VBS and you have safe travels to Atlanta tomorrow. Let Megan know we are praying for her and all the little ones at home, sharing their mommies with us for two days. Praying the mommies will be so refreshed and renewed by God this weekend...they will be better mommies forever because of the transformation in their lives!
