1. I was not even nervous standing in front of 300 people at my church to tell them of the ministry we started to feed the people of our church after illness or baby or whatever. So far this ministry is having a slow start but only started a few weeks ago. God has plans for us that he knows more than we could ever imagine ourselves.

   • That is awesome Kim!! 🙂

2. OMG! We had the same experience this weekend! I was asked to help with a special baptism at my church, Fellowship Church in Grapevine, TX. At first I was like, “me?” But God kindly nudged and said, “yes, you! Help someone feel what you felt.” I was recently baptized at Fellowship and I can’t describe that feeling of joy and commitment to God. I’m tearing up as I type about it! So, I said, “yes!” My only duty was to help get information for each person, so we could say their name and mail them pictures and a certificate. We had close to 50 people give their lives to Christ! Young, old, male, female! It was so amazing! The more people that walked to the alter, the harder I cried and clapped! It was so, uh, I can’t even describe it! All I can say is thank you, God for saving souls… my soul! This experience has prompted me to officially join the baptism team! Currently, I volunteer 2-3 times a week in the church’s office doing data entry, writing cards, just whatever needs to be done. When I’m there, that’s my happy place! It’s in my heart to serve! 🙂

   • Courtney, are you serious???!!! How cool is that! It’s so hard to describe what a honor it was to love and support everyone that got baptized. My heart is still filled with such hope and peace after such an incredible experience. All I can say is….ONLY GOD! 🙂 xoxox

3. I am following God by reading his word when I do all my bible studies and put his word into action.

4. God has spoken to me and asked me to just talk to Him more than I do. I read His Word, and I am participating in the bible study, but I lack in talking to Him. So, to help with this, I’m writing a letter in my journal to God every night telling Him how my day was and making sure I remember to thank Him for all He did for me during the day.

   • Jayne, I love your awareness to the Holy Spirit and your obedience. Praying for abundant blessings as you continue to talk with the Lord. xo

5. Linda~Melissa turned me onto her Elevation Church! How awesome is that church!!!!! I feel so inspired and both Nicki, Melissa and you have that same sweet joyous sound to your voice. That glowly I Love G-d look. I follow all three of you and I have given myself up to G-d but as I said on P31OBS, I feel like something is missing. Like 1 ingredient to a recipe. I can’t figure out what it is and I stuggle with that everyday. I listen to everything good and bad that comes my way and chastise myself for things I shouldn’t say or think, so that I self correct and ask for forgiveness when I know I’ve erred. At night, I do my bible study, and cross reference from book to bible to journal and I actually love it and am getting familiar with certain things and say my prayers at night before bed. I find my “alone time” with G-d whenver I can, but again, that one thing is missing and it pains me. I talk with my boss and she has it, that smile that tone, that understanding, that all knowing glow……I would love some guidance….. and by the way, what a beautiful place to run………Many blessings….

   • I am not sure why , but whole sentences were deleted from my post! Where it says I listen it should say I listen to K-Love whenever I am in the car and praise G-d for everything Good and bad…..

     • Lisa, I remember a time in my life when I felt the exact same way you are describing. I cannot explain how or when the shift took place in my life. It took time of a consistent pursuing the Lord. One thing I really believe in is applying scripture to our lives daily…all day every day. When we fill our minds and hearts with the word of God, transformation will happen. I am lifting you up in prayer today and believing the Lord for that missing piece (peace). Thank you so much for being a part of my blog community. Hugs & blessings~

6. I actually signed up to do the online bible study when women say yes to God but I never got the book. I have all the emails to the study but I need the book. So it would be great to win the book so I can get started.

   • Missy, I am giving away the Devotional Book, not the study book. I’m so sorry you didn’t get your book. 🙁

7. There is so many things I know I need to do to be closer to God. That’s why these Bible Studies are so good. You learn so much and then you can share with others. The more you learn, the more you can share.. You guys have such great material to learn from. Thanks.

8. We have talked with the Pastor of the church we have been going to about joining and also joining some bible studies.

9. I am guarding my quiet time with God, making certain to read His word, reflect on what I have read, and listen closely for the Spirit’s leading. I am witnessing more boldly than ever before to a elderly relative who definitely has not received Jesus by faith and the forgiveness and peace with God only faith in Christ can bring. But I am speaking to this relative in love and with compassion. I truly believe the Holy Spirit is leading me to attend the Denver conference this weekend to hear Lysa TerKeurst live. I believe God has something special to tell me while I am in Denver. I am so looking forward to encountering God in His Word, in the teaching, and in the times of worship.

   • Deanne, It’s so exciting that you will be attending the conference. When we come with expectant hearts to hear from the Lord we WILL hear and learn from him. 🙂

10. I need to immerse myself in the Word and surround myself with godly people.

    • I am praying for you Judy as you step out in faith and surround yourself with the word and other believers. ((hugs))

11. I am following God by reading Jesus Calling every day and reading God’s word every day. I want to have a stronger relationship with Jesus.

    • Tiffany, Jesus Calling is my very favorite devotional. Every year I say I’m going to use something new and I keep going back to it. That is a devotional that everyone should have!! 🙂

12. Linda, today was one of those days that started out (at 3:08 a.m.) with exuberant prayer and saying Yes to God but turned into a day of not following God at all. I struggled with blurting out wrongs that should be corrected, betrayed a confidence without even blinking, ended up leaving work early to go to Mass and hang out with Jesus in adoration. I of course wanted to blame Satan but knew in my heart I just made some bad choices and there was nobody to blame but myself…haven’t had a day like this in I can’t remember how long. I am going to follow God right into prayer and sleep and having asked his forgiveness, cherish His promise and truth that I will rise to new mercies and compassions. I am saying yes to God right now and praying for his help and strength to work through my sudden fear and anxiety and to seek Him and love Him with all my heart, my soul, and my strength, to hear his voice and listen, to do His will according to His plan for me. Please pray for me….

    • Lifting you up in prayer Mary.

13. I am following God by being active in my church, attending bible studies and being obedient to His Word and really listening to Him. I had an amazing experience on the beach, God directed me to this lady who after talking with was going through a divorce in 9 minutes, sharing that with me and tears in her eyes she said we have been married for 40 years. . After we spoke a little she said God had to send me to her. I went back to my chair and in my bag I found my book “When Women Say Yes to God”, at that moment I heard God say, give her the book, I again looked at the book thinking but it has Lisa’s autograph and God again said the book, so without any further delay I looked for this lady on the beach and caught up with her and gave her the book. Just knowing how much I’ve gained from it I knew she needed it. Thank you Lord for placing her in my life so I could be a witness and share with her how awesome my God is. As I continued back to my chair I thanked our Lord, and as I was walking I had noticed an amazing rock that was different in color, kind of like rust/gold, I turned over the rock and was totally taken back…the face of Christ was right before my eyes. I couldn’t believe what I was looking at, crown, eyes with a very chiseled face, I ran to my things and grabbed my phone to take a picture and was so excited to show everyone. The rock was too big to try and carry home so I had to leave it. Got back home and went to download my pictures and “nothing” was on my phone. I was told “it was for my eyes only”. All I can say is each time I tell and share I get so excited knowing how God works and his confirmations are always over the top. After things settled down I ordered 3 more books, just in case! 🙂

    • Mella, thank you so much for sharing your excitement here on my blog. I love that you are a part of the community! Many blessings to you~

      • Thank you Linda, I’m so glad to be part of this amazing group. Looking forward to all the things planned by God. Thank you for everything you continue to do for us, you are truly a blessing!

    • Mella,
      Thanks for sharing your God experience! Isn’t it wonderful how God shows up in our lives and uses us in ways that blows our mind.And after being obedient, He blesses us even more. What an amazing vision of Himself to confirm that it is HE and that HE is ALIVE and working in your life, that HE is pleased with you and HE LOVES YOU dearly. Isn’t it WONDERFUL to be a child of God?!

14. I have been following The Lord by spending quiet time with him in his work each morning. I also am in the process of the What Happens When Women Say yes to God OBS!!! I love the study and I can feel my relationship getting stronger with God each day!!!

15. God has asked me to spend more time in His Word and just skimming verses here and there.

    • Orenda, I love how you are aware of the Lord’s guidance 🙂 Praying for you as you dig deeper in His word.

16. I am learning to trust God to take care of my boys when I can’t. My oldest is in the 7th grade lots of new ways of doing school for him. Mostly it doesn’t include me being able to stay on top of everything he does. He has to be the responsible one. It’s been hard on me. I am learning though, God can and will take care of him and all his needs way better than me! My youngest is in 3rd grade and that is a transition grade where they learn to study lots of material. God is great and I’m so glad he is taking care of my boys and blessing them.

17. I sense that God is calling me at this time to “BE STILL AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD”. Each year God has taken me to a deeper level in my faith. I study His Word daily, pray daily, fast often, tithe and give generously, and serve where ever needed. I have also began prayer walking. All this is good. But when I read an excerpt from one of Lysa’s devotionals about “Model manners. Let them see what a life of godliness looks like, not just religous activity,” I did some self-examination. God led me to come away by myself and Be still. Be speechless. Listen for His voice. I pray for quiet time with Him and on Every occasion He gives me that time. He shows me what unnecessary “busy-ness” I need to cut out and replace it with time with Him. I love your blog and the OBS. I pray for all these amazing women who God is calling to make a difference in this world. I’m happy to be a part of this amazing work He is doing. God Bless.

18. It’s perfect time to make some plans for the future and it’s time to
    be happy. I’ve read this post and if I could I want to suggest you some interesting things or advice.
    Maybe you can write next articles referring to this article.
    I wish to read even more things about it!
