Thanks to all the ladies who stepped out of their comfort zones and tried painting wheat with me on Thursday morning. You all did a super job! I hope Kaitlyn and Amanda bring theirs to show off next week. And I'm so proud of Cheryl and Blanca, our budding artists.
This Saturday morning from 9-11am the RE building will be open for us to continue working on T-shirts. Don't be scared! I know YOU can paint one too! We have several ladies who are willing to guide you through the process and empower you to create your your own bundle of wheat.
The back of the shirt says "Meet me at the threshing floor!" I'd like to share two thoughts about this statement. First, the threshing floor is where Ruth went to submit herself to the leadership of Boaz. She entered with anticipation, confidence and peace about her future. Just like Ruth, we come to our Redeemer with those same feelings. We pray with expectation that He will hear and answer. We find peace at His feet.
Second, we recognize the purpose of the threshing floor was to get rid of the chaff from the usable wheat. As we meet Christ at the threshing floor, we ask Him to strip us of the chaff of our own sin. Sometimes that process is difficult, but the result if the sanctification of our lives.
I pray that each of you are able to petition the Lord to meet you at the threshing floor. He will dust off the burden you carry and cover you with His promises.

I never got to see your t-shirt. Do you have a photo you could post? Or photos of conference you could send me? I've had fun posting all the photos on the regional site.
I'd love to have some from Sheppard.
OK - DARLING shirt - saw it in the sidebar...but I'd still love a photo of someone wearing one. LOL
