HOLD UP!!

Today I went to a Women's Event called "She Worships: Overflow" at my new church Mosaic in Birmingham! It was my first ever Women's conference type of deal.

First, we came in and mingled. Which, since I came alone, I had to put my big girl pants on and meet new people. It's always hard being the one who no one knows. BUT, I met so many precious women who absolutely LOVE Jesus.

After the mingling, we worshiped and sang songs for a little bit. Then we broke up into different groups. I chose to be in the prayer group.

We talked about what prayer is and how there is no particular way to do it. It could be really short or really long. Out-loud or silent. Sung to the Lord or said in sentences. It does NOT matter. You are just talking to your daddy.

Well, after talking about prayer, we just started praying. Some people out-loud and some people to themselves.

After I had prayed for a while. I looked up and me and this woman met eyes. She saw me and came over to where I was sitting.

She asked, "what's your name?" And I said, "My name's Lindsay." She asked me, "Lindsay, could I pray over you?" And of course I said, "YES PLEASE!!"

She put her arm on my shoulder and I bowed my head.

There was silence.

She didn't start praying.

I looked at her and then I was like, "OOHH, she is praying over me silently...that's cool!"

NOPE.

I was totally wrong.

She looked up at me 45 seconds later and said, "Lindsay, I think the Lord has given you much wisdom. You understand and have grasped who God truly is. You understand and you love to teach others about Christ."

HOLD UP!

Let's think about this. This lady does NOT know me. We have never met. SO, how in the world does she know this about me?!?!

This lady puts her head back down.

45 seconds later, she looks at me again saying, "Lindsay, BUT you struggle. You are worried about your future. You are on the right path, but you can't see what's coming next in your life and that makes you scared. You need to ask the Lord to shed some light on your path. Ask Him to show you what to do."

HOLD UP AGAIN!

How does she know that?!?!

Everything this lady said to me, was correct.

I am scared about my future. I don't know if I am to be a nurse or not. I am scared. I have been worried for a long time. How did she know?

THE HOLY SPIRIT. THE LORD. OUR HEAVENLY FATHER SPOKE TO HER.

That is the only thing I could come up with. The Lord told her what I needed to hear. The Lord interceded for her.

So, pretty much the Lord is telling me, "Lindsay, STOP FREAKING OUT. I have it all figured out. Rest in me my daughter. No need to worry."

I WAS FLOORED.

I sat back in my seat after hearing her speak to me and just felt in AWE.

How amazing is our God?

He is so good!!

Just thought I'd share my amazing radical moment.

Remember: The Lord is powerful. He understands.

HE LOVES YOU WITH AN OVERWHELMING LOVE.
