1st LOVE

This past weekend was my second trip to the first love conference in Niagara Falls. It is a women only event (with the exception of a few band members and wait staff.) Glorious praise and worship music, Ann Mainse from 100 Huntley street is the hostess and this year Liz Curtis Higgs (author of Bad girls of the bible) SHE WAS HILARIOUS! she was open about her tumultuous past giving everyone hope for the future. The message was FORGIVENESS and GODS UNFAILING GRACE... What a powerful message she gave. 600 women were in attendance and all were laughing and crying in the same instance, it was almost overwhelming. Imagine if you will 600 voices, strong and diligent, praising the name of our Lord in unison. It was moving and rejuvenating. Talk about a revival! If you think that is fabulous what is even better... Women were saved! one of my dearest friends gave her life to Christ one evening and i was blessed enough to bear witness to it. She collapsed into her own hands, sobbing! one of the ladies at our table came and knelt in front of her and prayed... I fell to my knees and prayed with them! She was saved! Praise the Lord for working through women like Liz and Lori Dortano (the praise and worship leader) If you ever get the chance go to this event you should...It will change your life. you can find out information about the first love conferences here. To find a list of Liz's books including Embrace Grace, follow this link. you won't regret it. There is information here about how to get the live video of her Embrace Grace talk that she gave at the conference... what a truly gifted servant she is!

God Bless you and yours,
