BETH MOORE MEMPHIS TIME!

HAHAHHA ok, so i am just being silly. Of course I am not getting to talk her ear off...even though I so called her assistant and asked her if I could! ha! I did, I did! hahahaha still asking God for a miracle! ha

I am leaving tomorrow afternoon with Dixie and heading to Memphis. Mom and Dad are on the road now. I am sooooo excited to get out of town and I can't even remember the last time we got to go to Memphis in October. Growing up it was always football season so we never went. I am so excited! I will have my camera to take pics of the blog friends I run into and maybe I can be sneaky and get one with Beth....or at least a pic with it looking like we are in it together hahahahhahha

"it's for the blog"...as I always explain to people for my OUTRAGEOUS actions! ha! I will blog all about it when I return.

I have been writing a lot but it has been some good Father/Daughter writing where my words and His words are just for each other....but I will say that there is nothing more SHOCKING when He says..."Look Caroline, I AM your BEGINNING and your END...I AM the beginning of your story and the end of your story....now shut it with the nonsense and start believing it!"

Shocking.... yes.

Effective......ABSOLUTELY!

Oh He is so good. I love honest, straight forward Father talk! Works on my heart every time!

I would also like to say that the last time I went to a Beth Moore conference I was at the beginning of a complete thought/heart/action transformation with my life. I still have the same card scripture on my mirror in the bathroom from 4 years ago. It was my end of "old thinking" of "old habits" and even more specific.."old boy thoughts". I went to Oklahoma City desperate for a fresh word after the end of a short relationship that spring. Was I crushed over the relationship? No. Was I crushed over the areas I thought I was solid in? Yes. So many issues I had never had to deal with and all of the sudden they were before me.....and I struggling deeply in what was right and wrong.

The conference was about Dwelling and about Delight. That was the best money my parents ever spent on me. God used that conference to TRIGGER all kinds of changes in me. Yes, I knew how to be obedient to Him. Yes I knew how to serve Him.....but I did not know what it really meant to know WHO I WAS IN HIM! I was 24 and prayers were all about what I wanted God to give me in a spouse or whatever...none of them about Him making me like Him. Father dwelling in me from the inside out. Yielding to Him each day and getting my confidence from His word and not from the world.

And that is when He began to rewire me. That is when He began to let me experience being SET FREE and more importantly......how glorious it was to be SET APART!

Like I have said before......I don't even know that girl before Oklahoma City. Yes, I remember what God has brought me from but PRAISE HIM that I no long look like her inside or out. Praise Him that He even makes us different from last month. What Glory He deserves for leading us forward in Him and not back.

So with that said, I am thrilled to be going to this conference lighter...more free....and I ask Him to speak to all 13000 women present. I ask Father to use this conference to do a mighty work in the women that need a Breaking Free moment like I did. I ask that He use Beth to encourage us and to teach me something new. To get me excited about a new subject or thought from His Word.

I also look forward to Corporately Praising Him with all those beautiful voices! May He get all the Glory, Honor, and Praise for the work and surgery He does in our hearts!

Father, protect all 13000 women coming and going. Thank you that you are my beginning, middle, and end. When I feel in the dark or out of control...You know right where I am in the story and I can trust You to guide me. Please use this conference to convict our hearts to change what needs to change and be obedient to let you do what you need to do. I love you! I really love you and thank you that you are my safe space ALWAYS!
Amen.
