This past weekend I celebrated the Lord with my sisters at
the Women of Excellence Summit. The Summit was at the Saint Paul Baptist Church
here in Baltimore, Maryland. I had never been to this church before, but I can
tell you that it will not be my last time. The sisters at the registration table set the
tone for the day…they were very welcoming and friendly. I felt a spirit of hospitality from the moment
I came through the door until the time I left. What stood out to me was the fact that the women
at the table did not have the attendees list, but instead of placing blame, and
getting an attitude about it…they just wrote down our names, gave us a packet. That
may seem like a small thing to most people, but kindness speaks volumes and it
makes a huge statement about our witness.
We had an awesome time in the Lord. It was a treat to hear dynamic preaching from
five powerful women of God. The momentum of each speaker seemed to build on the
last one. You could feel the power of God’s word in that place. Each woman had
a topic that centered on the theme, “Arise Daughters of Zion Prepare for your
God-Given Destiny.” I am not sure about anyone else, but I know I left there
with a deeper appreciation for the woman God has made me to be.
I am a worshipper. I have never doubted that, but this weekend
took my worship to another level. I read something recently that said that when
we walk into a room God arrives, because we carry Him in our hearts. I like knowing that. I love God with a love that can only be expressed through worship. Our God is so awesome, and I
am determined to use everything God has given me to glorify and
magnify Him.
"I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known Thy faithfulness to all generations." --Psalm 89:1
Until next time…
Be blessed
