Moments as a Ministry Mommy

This weekend I’m so blessed to have the opportunity to teach at the Oregon Women of the Word conference down in Medford, Oregon. This week was, let’s just say, hectic, preparing amidst some other things. But this little moment showed me how God can use even the chaos to demonstrate His love:

Thursday was crazy. We had an extended-family crisis that threw many things up in the air. I was cleaning the house and making meals for the kids while I’d be gone, and I needed to work on my notes for the conference. In particular, I needed to shorten one message, and was praying about what to cut out, as I had one certain part in mind that I was debating about whether it fit.  After I finally finished the dishes I turned around to find that Heidi had discovered my bright red marker and taken to scribbling all over my notes. ARGH!   I went over, picked them up, to discover that she had scribbled into oblivion the entire section that I was praying about whether or not to cut out. I couldn’t even read it.

I had to smile.  Guess that answers that prayer!
