Blessing via Simulcast..

"You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to PUT OFF your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to BE MADE NEW in the attitude of your minds; and to PUT ON the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness."
-Ephesians 4:22-24

My bible study girls and my friend, Beccs and myself all attended the Beth Morre simulcast on her new book, "So Long, Insecurity" on Saturday. It was a great time of worship, teaching, fellowship and learning. In total, there were 300,000 women that met together last Saturday for a fresh word from God about our genders' chronic battle with the issue of insecurity. The constant charge is this verse from Ephesians....the call to put off our old self-thoughts, patterns and issues from our former way of life and to put on the hope, truth and security that is found only in Christ.

The bible study will start studying this book soon and I think many women across the world will too. I pray that our Christian culture will see a wave of change in the women that fill up their pews. That women will begin to claim and believe in the security that is theirs in Christ. We are each perfectly and deeply loved by Our sweet Savior. He wants us to live life to the full, not hidden and scared to death because of insecurity. The Proverbs 31 woman was "clothed with strength and dignity". I pray that we will claim our dignity back and not let the enemy keep having victory over us in this area. God is doing something big, as we were able to get a glipse of yesterday, and I am thankful I get to be a part of it!

Here are some pictures of the girls...we met at Starbucks before the simulcast began:

All of us at lunch!

Some of the girls had to take a time-out to call their husbands. They all called them at the same time...how cute?!!!


It was a great day! I loved every bit of it...down to Beth's bump-it.

"May the Lord help you in your time of distress, may the God of Jacob make you secure." -Ps 20:1

10 things...

I am such a copy-cat today, but I love this idea! My favorite, Beth Moore, started this on her blog,  and then I noticed my girls, Alyssa and Kathyrn did it on their blogs too. I am learning so many new things about people and, naturally, I need to do it now! Here are the directions: What are 10 things - right off the top of your head - that we would only know about you if we knew you really well? 10 random things ranging anywhere on your personal map that make you a tad distinctive? Or just plain weird? Think quickly. Don't go for deep. Go for quirky. Don't try to put them in any kind of order and don't make them long. Just start typing. Since this is the Reese blog, I will attempt to do it for both of Ryan and myself.... Anna: 1. I hate to shave. Freshman year of college, I only shaved once a week and my friends and people I worked with tried to straighten me out with weekly "armpit checks"...sick, but true. 2. I love zits, abscesses, blood blisters---an...

Miracle!!

Ryan and I are so so thankful and excited to make the announcement that we are having a baby! Right now, I have just finished up the first trimester. The baby is almost 15 weeks old. We actually get to find out the gender in a couple of weeks, which is so exciting! It has been such a wonderful time. The Lord has truly blessed us with this miracle. Through this process, the thing that I have been thinking the most of in my heart is that the Lord is good. I don't know why this truth is sometimes hard for me to soak in. Life is hard and trials happen- this is so true and the trials do not make God any less good. However, sometimes, the Lord just gives to His children. I find it so crazy that I am resistant to believe this at times, but I always look at the toughest or hardest outcome in a situation and assume that it will happen. However, through this, I have been reminded that although the Lord allows hard things to happen at times to shape and define us, He does good things a...

Praises!!!!

I found out this morning that I passed the board exam! I am beyond thankful for this blessing. All the time I was studying I was in a cloud of doubt...wondering if the PA profession was right for me, what would I do if I failed, how was I ever going to get through it? But, this process brought me to my knees in new ways. I prayed each day for His strength to bring His work to completion. This was the verse that I would repeat throughout the days of studying and it is so special to me: "You give me your shield of victory, and your right hand sustains me; you stoop down to make me great." -Psalm 18:35 The Lord answers prayer. This small prayer about helping give me success with the boards to bigger prayers about salvation for our loved ones and healing for those who are sick. We serve a God who hears us....HOW AMAZING!! He stoops down to uphold us in His right hand. Trust in Him today, friends. He IS surely big enough for anything you can lay at His feet. He hears you an...
