Dina Deleasa Instagram – I know I was supposed to make a fancy reel. One that would detail how fun and amazing our @shelivesfearless Conference was this weekend. And it was fun, there was a chocolate fountain, a photo wall complete with ring light. We had an amazing worship team, powerhouse speakers, and just an all around great group of women assembled at Cottonwood Creek Church. We are forever grateful.
But, here is where my heart is today. This photo. It is not cropped perfectly, it will most likely get skipped over. It was the end, people were leaving. An elderly woman walks up to me, lets me know she is praying for me, she knows I will be okay, I am thanking her, and continues talking, I can’t fully remember the last couple of things she said before she looked at me and said, “He sees you.” I felt like my insides were going to explode, I was looking into her eyes, although I felt like Jesus was looking at me through her eyes, I can’t explain it. She repeated herself, “He sees you.” She could see I was stunned, and tense, she hugged me and prayed for me. He knows the fear I have been running from, stuffing down in the back of my mind. My tears, my tossing and turning in the middle of the night. He sees my intention to be faithful. He found a way to tangibly let me know, what a gift. He didn’t need to do that for me to continue to trust him. But what a wonderful moment to carry with me as I go forward.
It’s not about coming to a conference, because we want to build a following or a brand. It is about coming to meet with Jesus. Setting aside intentional time, which is so hard to do, we know that. When you are amongst other believers, when you spend time seeking him, he delivers. You never know who he will speak through, how he will get your attention. What “chance” encounter will change your heart. What teaching will renew your mind.
We are just trying to give women the opportunity to slow down and meet Jesus. To not suffer or wander alone, but to join with others who can lift them up in Jesus name. That is what happens each and every time. This is what we are grateful for. It’s not our will or hard work, it’s our obedience and his faithfulness. | Posted on 17/Oct/2023 06:10:13
