ZOE

I have been thinking about the ZOE Conference coming in just a couple of days to Fresno...

It strikes me that they have consistently given me opportunity to learn new things to apply as I take this journey from earth to heaven. I have often thought about how much I've learned because of their love and constant support and teaching.

But, if I were to be totally honest, it really hasn't been the actual class times that have meant the most. It's the relationships. When you travel together, whether from the same town, the same church, or thousands of miles apart, the load is easier. When there is sadness, you share in that together. When there is enormous confusion or pain, you have friends to lighten the load. When there is joy, it is multiplied because your friends feel that joy with you.

I'm so grateful for this group of people God has delivered to me. They have made my walk so beautiful and sweet because they not only teach it or sing it...they live it. They show themselves to be genuine and Godly...not perfect, never acting as if they have all the answers...they simply say..."Come, walk with us and we'll walk with you...and together, we'll discover Christ crucified, Forgiveness multiplied, and God glorified."

If you aren't busy, stop by and join in the walk this weekend as they share their hearts with us for the 5th Annual ZOE West Coast Conference.

Blessings...
