Another Mighty Welcome!
Kris S - June 9, 2008
Can I just say I'm thrilled about this new LifeWay blog? A big shout out to my girlfriend Vicki Courtney for having initial conversations with Pam and I to help make this dream become a reality!
Pam, Dawn, and I are up here in Indianapolis, IN at the SBC (that's Southern Baptist Convention) for all you non-baptists out there! We're here showing off LifeWay's amazing women's Bible studies and talking to anyone who comes through our exhibit. Between exhibit shifts and meetings, we've been seeing all of your comments and we're so crazy wired about it we can't sleep!
Today I had the opportunity to attend the pastor's wive's conference. I didn't have any expectation at all really, but what I got was great worship from a couple who are long time friends of my husband as they were in the first great Christian singing group, Truth together. Do any of you remember Kim and Suzanne Noblitt? How many Truth groupies out there?
God showed up in that room and spoke to me through Donna Gaines and I'm not even a pastor's wife! One comment that stuck out to me was "God is desiring to reveal to me His thoughts." Wow, and then they played the video, Worship is more than a song. You gotta check out the video on this one. I was so convicted. But just as Jesus does. No condemnation. I got fired up. Call me a Jesus freak. I'm crazy about Him.
Ladies, you're gonna bless me, I already know that. I'm blessed everyday with this work here at LifeWay and how God extends His grace and works through me every single day. I don't think for a split second that I could ever do it own my own. It's way bigger than me, than us. In everything, Our Great God be the glory!
Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desires. Psalm 37:4

Looking forward to the blog! I’ve already added it to my reader.
Our church attends SBC every year. I participated in Crossover Dallas many years ago, and it was an awesome time in the Lord.
I’ve been blessed to attend many Living Proof conferences. Last year’s Going Beyond with Priscilla was the most life-changing time in the Lord I’ve ever had. It sent me on a journey that I’ve been blogging about ever since. Thank you, LifeWay women, for all you do for Jesus!

Welcome Kris! We are just as excited about this new blog as you are!
Thanks so much for sharing from your heart. Our pastor and music minister are at the convention. What a powerful song you shared. I know there are some idols in my life that need to be cleared. Thanks for sharing your heart.

Kris, I really enjoyed meeting you today at the SBC!! It was nice to chat with you for a few minutes and put a name to a face. You ladies at Lifeway do a great job!!!
You are right that God did show up when Donna spoke yesterday. And one thing I love about God is He spoke to me in a different way than He did to you but it still means the same thing, His presence was felt!
I am blessed by having been at the convention this year. I pray that I have the chance to come again!

Kris - I love hearing your passion for Christ and for your work for Him! He is doing a mighty work through you right now to draw women together and closer to Him. I’m praying He continues to give you a great energy for His work and keeps you overflowing with His Spirit!
Love, Your neighbor and church buddy, Tracey ;)
