Exciting News! A GIFT for YOU

Come to the Table!
As many of you know, I've been on quite a journey these last few years. Many sweet moments, as well as many painful ones; however God so graciously prepared me for each unknown step. None were unknown to Him!

One of the sweetest blessings has been developing a deeper understanding of how to experience the Living Presence of the Lord Jesus in my life through the power of His Spirit. Although I've always known His Spirit indwells me, I have to admit I often lived as though I was directing my steps and asking Him to bless them. He's gently pointed out that exhausting pattern and has been guiding me to follow Him more closely with every step. The joy and peace produced from this growing knowledge and understanding has been truly life-giving to me. I am so grateful for His patience!

I realize from my own experience and through talking to many of you, that we need encouragement to grow in our understanding of the depths of His unfailing love and unending peace. We need to encourage one another in knowing He is always there ready to teach and lead us (Matthew 11:25-30). I have been learning very helpful ways to pay closer attention to this reality.

Out of that conviction comes the creation of an online community we are simply calling PRESENCE. I've partnered with a few friends I've connected with throughThe Leadership Institute  to create this opportunity. 

The Presence site is full of resources for you to enjoy. We are committed to keeping it active and adding new resources. Visit it often and follow us! Our desire is to simply encourage you. I will be offering periodic Presence Day Retreats here in the valley, so follow us if you want to receive info about those.

Here's a sneak peak at the intro page that goes live today!

Welcome to Presence!  We hope you enjoy this online community of women who are embracing God’s loving and intimate Presence into their own lives and then freely extending that Presence to others.

Visit us NOW at www.presencenow.be. Sign up for our newsletter to get periodic emails of all that's being offered.

and come back often! And, if you find it helpful, spread the word!!!

Let's keep encouraging one another to linger in the Presence of the One who loves us!
