How can I keep from smiling?! I have not been able to stop smiling and let this joy go away. God has been so good. I am here in Big Sandy-Texas. Yes, things are much bigger here in Texas!!! What is going in Texas? Well it is the Regional ATI Conference. Basically it is a conference for all the home schooling families. People come from all around to meet for four days of training from Mr. Gothard. We have roughly 2,000 attending this year. The theme this year is 'Life Purpose with Power to Win!' The speakers, besides Mr. Gothard, include the Hogans, Bates, Tom Harmon, Jim Sammons, Steve Green (founder of Hobby Lobby), Joel Robbins, the Speeds, Warners, Bill Federer, the Duggar family, Bernie Reese, Jon Burnham, Jim Logan, Karl Coke, George Mattix, Roger Magnuson, and Otto Koning. As you might have seen, the Duggar family is here(so 18 kids) along with the Bates family(17 kids) and the Pearrow family (11 kids) Just imagine the sight of that and then imagine tons of families around that size all in one place!!!
Even a midst all the books, tennis shoes, strollers, suits and hustle, God is lavishing out His love. I see Him do it everywhere I turn. I can't get away from it. He has bee showing me how to love like Him. I didn't think that i would ever have the ability to, but He wrote it all out for me and now that I know how it can be done it has me so excited!! If you want to find out how to really love read 1 Corinthians 13. See how He tells you to love and yes, you may have read it lots of times before, but see how you can APPLY it!
I really like how the KJV says it-calling love charity...anyways, enjoy!
