TWC, TIRED, and LUFKIN

This is probably one of the strangest titles I've used, but here's what it's about.

After ladies conference today I went to eat with friends, then came home.  My husband has a cracked/broken rib, or a pulled muscle, so he hasn't been feeling well.  When I got to the house he was laying down to help relieve the pain, so I decided to rest a little while.  That was about 2:45.  At 3:03 my phone rang and it was my dear friend, Karen.  She asked, "Well, are you wiped out?"  I told her I had just laid down, was tired, but didn't feel "wiped out".  We talked a few more minutes, then hung up.  The next thing I know is when I woke up!  When I looked outside it looked overcast to me.  I walked through the house looking for my husband and found him in the office.  I asked him if it was rainy and he said it was clear skies.  I still couldn't figure out what was going on.  He asked if I was hungry, and I wasn't, but offered to fix him BREAKFAST.  He said that didn't sound good.  I was TOTALLY CONFUSED!  It really took me awhile to figure out that it was 8:00 PM and I had not been asleep ALL NIGHT.  I had just taken a NAP!  Oh me!  I guess I was more tired than I realized!  I don't know when I have taken a NAP and slept like a baby for about FIVE HOURS! 

Since I've come to my senses...I've been thinking about it a little bit.  I believe my spirit had been so refreshed at Texas Women's Conference 2012, and my body so tired that my mind was relaxed and rested knowing that "God has my life in control".  He loves us and believes in us!  His plans are BIG for our lives and He loves DIRECTING our steps.  I absolutely loved the message Sis. Karen Harding brought to us Saturday morning..."THINK BIG...TEXAS"!  I left with renewed strength and excitement for what God has done and what He is going to do!

A little while ago I called my sister, Karla to see if she was home yet.  She wasn't quite there, and it dawned on me that I had been asleep the whole time she was traveling!  Then, I thought..."there's a great advantage to living just one mile from the camp ground where a lot of our main events take place.  :-)  Yes, we had another great TWC!  Yes, I'm TIRED!  And...Yes, I'm glad I live in LUFKIN!

May you all be blessed this weekend and have great revival in your churches!  THINK BIG...TEXAS!  GOD IS DOING GREAT THINGS!
