In the Presence of Greatness...

Tonight I had the opportunity to glean from, and share with, some incredible women who are passionately pursuing the Lord and His call on their lives. I drove away amazed at the glimpse of God I had seen through their transparency, humor, and encouragement. There was no strife, no cattiness, no competition...only support, love, and life-giving. Tonight I was affirmed and challenged by sisters who wish only for me what they wish for themselves- an unleashing of their gifts and talents, and a fulfilling of their call- to the glory of God!

Tonight I sat in the presence of greatness, not due to titles or degrees, positions or popularity, but the greatness that is birthed from humbling yourself before God. Greatness that comes by allowing Him to lovingly unlock, by any means necessary,what was crafted within us at the moment of conception. In a few short hours, in an unassuming coffee shop, I sat in the presence of greatness and my heart is somersaulting with joy and utter gratitude for new friends and a divinely destined moment in time...
