Soar Beyond Women's Conference
Ocean City Tabernacle
Saturday, 9/30 from 9am - 2:30pm
Many of you know that I have had an alarm set everyday for years at 3:20 pm to remind me to pause, pray and remember the promise of Ephesians 3:20 which says:
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us...
So, when I heard about the Soar Beyond Women's Conference and that the main topic was Ephesians 3:20 and the book of Ruth, I was intrigued and excited. When I was invited to have a book signing table at the Conference, I was thrilled! Please join me at the Soar Beyond Women's Conference with Debbie Keever and Laura Piraino !!
Please visit https://www.eventbrite.com/e/soar-beyond-2023-tickets-609910638137 to purchase your tickets for only $25 or visit the OC Tabernacle's website.

Excerpts from the book
REDEEMED
HE IS WITH YOU
TRANSFORMED
Every time I look back on my life and how Jesus has worked, praise
can only come from my lips. The road was not always a joy ride, and life and its troubles still aren’t, but I am a 100 percent convinced that the Lord has beautiful plans full of wholeness and healing for those who seek Him. Please hear my story as a testament to what the Lord can do in anyone’s life. The Lord has used these strategies and experiences in my healing, and my hope and prayer are that they will help you and your loved ones as well.
TRANSFORMED
HE IS WITH YOU
TRANSFORMED
Remember the absurd lie Lydia was believing about a shark in our
pool? How do you replace that type of lie? What “self-talk” is the best?
What could Lydia meditate on instead of the negative, frightening thoughts that consumed her? What truth was effective enough to replace the falsehood of “Mommy, there’s a shark in the pool!” and allow her to jump into the deep end?
HE IS WITH YOU
HE IS WITH YOU
HE IS WITH YOU
Let me tell you, the journey of seeking truth is worth it. The crying,
the questioning, the doubting, the sharing, the listening, the struggle,
the fear, the physical pain you feel either battling with mental illness
or watching someone go through it. Hang in there. Jesus will meet you
in the midst of those places.
LIFE AND PEACE
THE POTENCY OF SCRIPTURE
HE IS WITH YOU
More than anything, we desired “life and peace” for our daughter. Matthew and I were determined to teach Lydia how to govern her mind by the Holy Spirit. How did the Holy Spirit govern your mind? We had no idea, but we were about to find out.
THE POTENCY OF SCRIPTURE
THE POTENCY OF SCRIPTURE
THE POTENCY OF SCRIPTURE
Some of God’s best work, His greatest miracles, have been done
in prison cells. Anxiety and the related consequences of perfectionism and depression can feel like a prison. It is a terrifying and lonely condition. But we knew the potency of Scripture and trusted that for Lydia, her anxiety would not be a life sentence.
HIS POWER
THE POTENCY OF SCRIPTURE
THE POTENCY OF SCRIPTURE
Setting daily alarms also helps us remember encouraging Bible verses. My cell phone alarm rings every day at 3:20 p.m. to remind me of Ephesians 3:20. This daily alarm nudges me to pray for those things that I think are impossible for me to do or even imagine, including a world free of anxiety, fear, and depression. For the past four to five years, I have prayed every day at this time for all of my family members and friends plagued with mental illness.
