Hi Michelle!
I was wondering....by any chance did y'all get a copy of Beth's closing prayer Saturday night at Deeper Still in Atlanta? She read it, so there must be a copy somewhere.Ha! My girlfriends and I were just so blessed by it, and a friend of mine would really like to have it for herself. If you want to e-mail me the info... that would be wonderful too!! If not, and you want to post it.. if you're able to get it...that would be a blessing to other's just as much! Thanks so much!!! Blessings babe!

What an awesome testimony. Thanks for taking time out of your busy life to share these kinds of things with us. I am still amazed that the Lord allowed me to attend the Deeper Still Atlanta event... and with my mother and mother-in-love (along with another very close friend.) I am a pastor's wife, of a very small church where I am needed and an integral part of every Sunday service. This doesn't allow me to go to many women's events because most are through Sunday. It was a wonderful and encouraging time for me to be fed and to worship freely without having to feel "in charge." That's such a blessing...

The four of us felt a little overwhelmed in big ole Atlanta, as we hiked back and forth (uphill both ways!!) to the Philips Arena. My m-i-l came through breast cancer last year, went through radiation, chemo, hair loss, the whole 9 yards... and has since been declared cancer free. Now she is ministering to others who have breast cancer, like another young mother of 4 and pastor's wife in our area. Now yesterday, I found out my mom has a lump in her breast which they thought suspicous and are doing a biopsy of... we will get results back the first of next week. I am praying they will find nothing, but I think satan is working overtime on so many women these days with this disease. And I see their faces constantly before me, just as you shared.

All of this to say that we four women sure needed that weekend... it brought us together in a family/sisterhood sense and also made us realize what an awesome God we serve.

Thanks again for all you do!

Praying for you Christi and your mom and the biopsy results. Please let us hear back next week. So proud of your mother-in-law using a horrible situation in her life (that satan would love to use to defeat and discourage her) and allowing God to shine through her circumstances. Many blessings as she continues this ministry to women with breast cancer. Thankful for the time we spent at the mountain at Deeper Still...face to face with God. Praying His presence and power will continue taking the women in your family deeper still.

Hey Miranda,

I've made a request with Living Proof MInistries (Beth's office) to see if they are going to post it on the LPM blog or if we can post it here. I've not heard back yet--hope to have info or post it next week (July 14-18 sometime). Thanks for checking back!

Thank you Michelle! Thank you for continuing to think of me, carry me and to cry for me. I am 1 of the 8 mothers. My life has been forever changed since the birth and death of my precious Eva Janette but my life has been just as changed and blessed from attending the Deeper Still - Atlanta event and meeting the 7 other mothers face-to-face for the very first time. I cannot even begin to explain nor describe the emotion and healing wrapped into those 4 days we spent together. Like Beth said while praying for us...the devil will be so sorry he ever messed with us. And although satan continues to try to steel, kill and destroy everything around me; I will not let him bring me down from where I am and where I have been since those last few days of June 2008. Since Atlanta I have returned back to my job after being on a medical leave for 6 months due to the pregnancy, delivery, loss and grief...only to find that my position had been eliminated. I can only think that this low blow was an act of satan himself but I know that God is way bigger and He has such great plans for me and my family. I am forever grateful for my baby girl Eva, who brought me to know the 7 other mothers, who brought me to Atlanta for my very first conference, where I met the amazing Beth Moore (and you too), who allowed me the opportunity to lay the burdens of my heavy heart on the arena floor to return to Pittsburgh cleansed, refreshed and burden free. I am ever so thankful for the Word and the Truth that I took in while hearing, Priscilla, Kay and Beth speak. Now, more than ever, I am looking up more towards Him w/ everything I have in me. Thank you for all that you have done and all that you continue to do to minister to those like me. Thank you.

Thank you Michelle for thinking of us and for praying. This event meant more to the eight of us than you could imagine. It was great just to hug you and pray with you.

Thank you so much for your prayers, Michelle. I wanted to let you know that my mom got a call from the doctor this afternoon (so much earlier than she expected) and they said the biopsy results were benign. Praise God and thank you again for your prayers. It is an amazing thing to be a part of the body of Christ!

Blessings,
Christi

I read about the confernce at several of "the mom's blogs" and was touched, sounds like a wonderful confernce that was truly God centered. I have gotten to know "the moms" thru the blog world and each of them touches my heart and helps me in my walk with Christ...so happy you remembered them and their babies....those little ones have had a huge impact in this world that's for sure

Thanks Michelle for checking on Beth's closing prayer!! I really appreciate it!

Seems like you've had a wonderful blessing in your spiritual journery through the many people you've met in the last month. How awesome is He?!?!?! So precious how God has laid His hand upon the hearts of each of those Mama's through friendships that are fixed upon Him. Awesome, Awesome!!

Thanks again!! Blessings!
