So after an incredible weekend of simulcast goodness (were you there? did you love it? did you learn something? tell us all about your experience in the comments!), LifeWay Women's Pam Case and Paige Greene are hitting the ground running this week, and I thought some of y'all might be interested in one of the things they have going on in the next few days.
Tomorrow, September 1st, Pam and Paige will be a part of a LifeWay Women webcast. The webcast is at noon central, and it'll be a great opportunity for you to get updates on upcoming Bible studies, women's events, leadership and ministers' wives training and all sorts of new downloads that will be available here on the LifeWay site.
And knowing Pam and Paige, I can say with great confidence that the webcast will also be a great opportunity for you to laugh. Because oh my word, I don't think those two have ever found a situation where they couldn't find the funny.
If you're interested in being a part this neat online event, you can just click on over to sign up for the webcast. I know Pam and Paige would love to see some of y'all there!
As I type this there are approximately 90,000 women from eight different countries listening to Beth Moore speak via the marvel that is modern technology. It really is unbelievable if you think about it!
I'd love for any of you who attended tonight or are attending tomorrow to leave your thoughts in the comments. I'd love to know where you watched the simulcast and what you thought about it.
I mean, on some level you have to appreciate that we have blogged about it in four of the last five posts. Nobody has ever accused the AllAccess bloggers of falling short in the area of totally over-the-top enthusiasm for, well, EVERYTHING.
But as I've been thinking this week about the sheer volume of details that go into the simulcast - all the crates that have to arrive, all the set-up that's involved, all the hotel rooms that have to be ready, all the technology that has to work properly, all the MIND-NUMBING LOGISTICS THAT WOULD MAKE MY HEAD EXPLODE - I've thought over and over again that this event would be impossible if God weren't in it.
I mean, think about it: it's not like all the people involved in the LPL Simulcast ride up to Wisconsin together on a bus and then get dropped off at the arena. There are DOZENS of flights that have to take off and land on time in order for all of the event personnel to be where they need to be when they need to be there.
Last night I was clicking around on Twitter when I saw this airport update from sweet Paige Greene:
I think anybody involved with a LifeWay event would tell you that God just DOES THE THING. He gets all up in the middle of the seemingly overwhelming details, and He is so faithful to help people like Paige and Beth and Travis and Rich and Ron - and so many others - carry out the tasks that He has called them to do.
This weekend He's called the LifeWay event team to Green Bay, Wisconsin, so that they can minster to women all over the world. Let's lift all of them up in prayer as they travel today and prepare to carry out that calling in such a way that He will get all the glory.
"All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, O Lord; they will bring glory to your name. For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God." - Psalm 86:9-10
Gals, its here! (Its here its there its everywhere!!)The Living Proof Live 2009 Simulcast is this coming weekend live from Green Bay, WI. (you may remember seeing us and/or Beth in a cheese head at some point this year).
The event will broadcast live to some 90,000 attendees in 516 churches in 45 U.S states and 7 other countries including China and Australia. Beth and Trav are truly going to the ends of the earth and we believe God's word will NOT return void! Isaiah 55:10-11.
To say the LifeWay women's team is excited is an UNDERSTATEMENT!! We are so thankful for the 516 host churches and today we'll get on a Web cast with them today at noon along with Trav and Beth to just pray for God to cover it all and MOVE in a mighty way across this nation and the world. Beth will teach out of Psalm 37 "Coming Home to the Heart of our Desires".
If you want to find a host church near you, click here
If you are hosting don't forget to list it on your marquee at church or put a sign out front! Pam said folks are calling their church about coming because they have a sign out.
If you can't make the simulcast event please pray for Beth, Travis, the host churches and for God to change lives and draw women to Himself!!
Yesterday I dropped my little girl off at school for the new school year and my heart ached a little bit that summer was over and we'd have a little less time to spend together every day.
I came home and spent some time reading my Bible and praying for her. Praying that she'd always have a heart for God, praying that she'd like the first grade, praying that she'd have a friend to sit with in the cafeteria at lunch.
And my heart just felt overwhelmed with the love that I have for her.
Then later I was in my car and I heard this song by the David Crowder Band come on the radio. I realized that no matter how much I love my little girl, He loves her more.
He loves me more.
He loves you more.
I just thought maybe we could all use a reminder that, as the song lyrics say:
"We are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,
If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking."
