Company Girl Coffee 5-22-09





Oh My Dear Sweet Girls!
I'll have to direct you to the green room with me at Thelma Wells 'Ready to Win" Ministry event in Garland Texas. I am here in Dallas with Thelma... literally...as her guest, you know, Extraordinary Women's Tour Mama T!!!, and all the fabulous women who are doing this event for a potential 6600 women for today and tomorrow. Let me tell you, God is God and i am not! I do not know how this all has happened since CBE in March, but God is doing amazing things and its all coming together! We drove through the night 14 hours from Alabama to Texas, flat tire on the way and all, Les is with me. I stopped for a restroom break and came out 3 minutes later in Corinth Mississippi and realized that my tire was so going flat. After finding 6 air pumps in town, it turns out that the town has air, but no electricity working to run it!! We were so appreciative of a WalMart that stayed late to get us back on the road!

Talked nonstop to friends and business partners for 10 hours on the way (can't wait to see THAT cell bill) Working out the details for last minute needs for a big event. God was cooking something new enroute....something so amazing I could.not.believe it was happening! We finally stopped at 4 a.m to 6 a.m. to rest and then hit the road hard again. Upon arrival in Dallas, Thelma's security met me at the hotel with my security VIP tags and parking passes. Can you imagine? The short bus girl from Alabama didn't understand why Security was calling, had I messed up before I even arrived??.....they wanted me "USHERED" to the front row so I could sit with Thelma and be introduced to the other speakers! WoW! What a moment, to walk up and realize more of my prayers to be with these women helping them help other women....one heart at a time was coming true before my eyes.....a 29 year dream of affecting women
The coffee is at the kiosk for us today, I want you to come backstage with me and see everyone! I'll be back later this weekend to bring you the pictures as Les uploads them. Madison is with me as is Les and we're seeing more of God's miraculous positioning as he launches this new level of ministry to women and families and has so graciously positioned my business to help other women find God's love for them and his forgiveness...as God has helped me have a very different understanding of how deep his love for me is, despite me!
For such a time as this.....I have no special skills. I have no clout. Despite my husband's insistance that I am cute as a button, I know that I am not Miss America material. I have nothing that would allow for what is happening in my life to happen....I simply had a desire that was God given to begin a ministry to rebuild families one heart at a time....to help people learn a simple joy....that God loves them despite whatever or whoever they are or what they've done. That joy is mine and I want to share it! God is richly blessing it and taking us to new paths we never imagined!
God is God and I am not.....yet God is so allowing me to witness front row seating for the miracles he is orchestrating today....and for this I am thankful....can't wait to share what all happens this weekend! (you'll be proud to know I made it on and off stage and through the lunch with all the "somebodies" without spilling food on me or falling....but oh how the joy of the Lord is present in the Garland Center today!) Be back there tonight 7-10 for a concert and then Saturday for speaking and workshops 9-3 pm I am so blessed to be meeting in real life Blissfully Domestic's Katie, the Editor and Chief of Blissfully Domestic! Yay! I so wish I could bring you all in person along with me!

What a wonderfully surprising life this is....God is God and I am simply amazed at where He is going.....
much love,



I have to share with you that as I was coming back here to change clothes for tonight, a sweet lady was calling after me...she recognized me from speaking at CBE and later being with my dear new friend and author Sandy Ralya (www.beautifulwomanhood.com) in Dallas! My very first fan! Yay! It was so exciting to share how God is changing things in her life too and how she took home the words given and applied them to create new realities in her marriage in life! Go God!!!! I am so humbled that she would seek me out, follow me to the lobby area and take the time to share with me! God is God and I am so blessed!
