I want to share with you all about Healing Place Church’s 3^rd annual women’s conference, Live the Dream 2009! HPC’s known for really rolling out the red carpet for some fantastic speakers!  We have Christine Caine and Bobbie Houston from Hillsong Church in Australia; Charlotte Gambil from Abundant Life Church in Bradford, England; and our special musical guest is 4-time Dove Award winner for Female Vocalist of the Year, Natalie Grant! Although I’m not performing this year, I feel so honored to be serving the ladies at my home church this weekend! I have a huge burden for those ladies who’ll be attending this year either in person or online! Yes, I said online! They will be streaming a live webcast at http://livethedream.healingplacechurch.org how cool is that?!! God’s really placed these ladies and the men in their lives on my heart! I feel the need to be there, to serve, to pray, to love on those, not only who need a first encounter with Jesus, but especially for those who already have a relationship with Him! I know firsthand what it’s like to come to know Jesus, and yet still have the baggage of my past hanging around my feet! It didn’t all just magically disappear when I met Christ, but with His help over time it DID disappear! Now as things pop up that remind me of that old stuff, I’m able to cast it off and make more appropriate choices instead of knee-jerk reactions. Oh I’m far from perfect and I still get it wrong; say the wrong words, do the dumb things! But, Jesus knows my heart and he gives me grace! Next time, I’ll do better because He’s with me! I know there are ladies like me who love Jesus and want to make those good choices! But maybe there are some who don’t know how. Maybe there’s some baggage leftover from a past full of addiction or abuse that might not have even been their own, but someone elses! It’s ok, Jesus can heal it and give us HOPE!!! That’s the theme of this year’s Live the Dream—HOPE! I’m so very excited to be a part of this event and to use my voice as an artist, mother, sister, Christian, servant to spread the word! Jesus is HOPE! And He can heal anything you’ve ever dealt with in your life! Check out what’s going on this weekend! Session 1 starts tonight at 7pm CDT and on through Saturday! Hope yall will be as blessed as I will! I already know that Jesus is here and ANYTHING can happen!!!! Blessings~ang
