Brunch

Today I was the guest speaker for a women's brunch at GateWay Bible Church. It was a really fun event. The ladies that put it together did a wonderful job. The special song was beautiful and tied in perfectly with what I was sharing. I've heard that others think I did a pretty good job communicating. Thankfully I wasn't nervous. I felt God's peace throughout the entire talk and I was confident that God would give me the words that He wanted me to share for the specific women that were in the audience. I think there were about 130. I know a lot of people were praying and I really appreciate it. I had at least 10 ladies come up to me and share what they felt God was teaching them through me so I know God got His message across. I'm truly humbled that He would use me.

Here are the words to the special song:

I Come To The Garden Alone Hymn


I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses.

Refrain

And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.
He speaks, and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing.

Refrain

I’d stay in the garden with Him
Though the night around me be falling,
But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling.

Refrain

I'm planning to post more on what I spoke about and kind of expand a bit more but for now... I'm tired! It's time for bed and vacation tomorrow. Jeff and I are going to have 3 nights all to ourselves for our 10 year anniversary. I'll post more towards the end of the week.
