I mean KER-PLOP...out of order and therefore stood before my peers with nothing but me and God. I love the wisdom shared by Sheri. So from her words to me I simply say ditto!!

Even if they "fall flat on their face-or whatever-you still think they are the best. I believe God looks at it that way and all of your friends do too. We are there to encourage you and love you--not through rotten tomatoes!! :) The Lord has given you a beautiful gift, so we are excited for you to share it with us. He didn't give that gift to everyone!! And to top it off, He has shared some great insights with you. We are looking forward to tomorrow. You are a beautiful girl and we love you!!!

We may never know all the ways that God has touched someone’s life by our allowing Him to use us, cracks, flaws and all. Just be yourself, that is who we (and HE) love and who God made you to be.

And I think you are right that we get humility confused with insecurity or self-abasement. But I have to tell you that when I spoke... there was a complete joy in being used by the Lord... and that I was truly unique to deliver the message God wanted to speak to the ladies that day. Not that I am more or less... just unique. It truly is okay to actually think that we are individually precious in His eyes. That actually... tomorrow is more about you than me... because you will be the conveyor of the message. So, in a way... it is about you... and I think we don't need to deny that... but celebrate that God is taking tomorrow and weaving it into everything else He has planned for YOU... like Ephesians 2:10 says... "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." He has works prepared for YOU that are about you... and works for me that involve me... and works for each one of us according to His plan. Let us not be insecure in the gifts and opportunities that God has placed before us, but be bold in the fact that by acknowledging the fact that He has picked us up out of the pit... He is truly amazing! I continue to pray for you, sister! Okay, so I can truly say, “I’ve been there!” And I think you are right that we get humility confused with insecurity or self-abasement.
