Uncle Byron & Auntie Sue

I went to the True Woman 08' Conference in Schaumburg, Il this past weekend. It was a fabulous conference dedicated, each and every session I sat in on, to glorifying the name of Jesus.

As an added bonus my husbands family from Alaska that we visited this summer were in Chicago for a meeting and his other aunt and uncle, pictured at left were in Chicago as well, as they head up Life Action Revival Ministries (Larry and Bev, how did we manage NOT to get a picture of the 4 of us????? guess you will be visiting Michigan....)





Revive our Hearts is one of the ministries at Life Action, so Byron and Sue were in Chicago doing True Woman stuff. After the conference was over, Blair and the kiddos drove over to Chicago and we had a wonderful time connecting with both Aunts and Uncles Saturday afternoon, evening and all day Sunday. (and yes, you too Nathan, although it was too brief!)

Sunday after Bev and Larry left for O'Hare to head back to Alaska, we drove to Niles, Michigan where Byron and Sue live and where Life Action Headquarters is. We went through the facilities and my heart was just overwhelmed at the revival vision they've had for the past 30 years. I had no idea, really, what all they were a part of and what God was doing through them and their ministry. They also took us through The Lodge, a conference and retreat center for Pastors. Wow. You need to check it out.

Anway, the whole weekend from the conference with my sisters from Berean, to connecting with Blair's family, was sweet fellowship. Now, as you can imagine, I have a whole book list to begin. However, I began one I've been wanting to read for months on the train on the trip over.....Do Hard Things, by the Harris Twins. I'm 1/3 the way through it....it's jaw dropping.
