Well, the Spring Stained Glass Ministries tour came to an end, and boy, did we have a great big ending! We blew out our trailer tire! Check out the pics (and jorja and my response to this experience!)….did we let satan get the last laugh? Nope, we made the best of it, and arrived right on time to our last speaking/worship engagement and had the time of our lives as God moved in the hearts and lives of His people! Glory to God!

We love meeting all of you at our conferences.  Whether is our Let’s Get Real Conference,Authentic Man and Woman conferences or Lifeway’s Festivals of Marriage, we absolutely love the opportunity to share our real life experiences and the Word of God with you.  It is our prayer that we would all be more authentic representations of the Christ we proclaim to follow.  Not perfect, just surrendered, dependent, humble Christ followers that stay the course, keep the faith, follow the Word and watch God do more than we could ever think or imagine.  If you have been to one of our events, listened too or read our resources, we would love to hear from you.  Please feel free to comment on this blog, tell us what God did or is doing in your life…you never know, your words could encourage someone else to attend a conference, get through a tough day, turn back to Christ or countless other responses as we all share what God did and what God does with one another…love you all…fully surrendered, dale and jena

We had an awesome time as the praise team and Dale and I headed for North Carolina for a marriage conference that was 4 years of praying in the making!!! The team they had was awesome and ready to serve! They did a fantastic job in loving on every couple there as well as us! We were spoiled! God showed up BIG TIME and we were eye witnesses to his working in hearts and lives….it was so so good!

(notice our son Cole in the background….ham!)

As many of you know, our son, Cole is graduating this year (no, I can’t believe it…..seems like yesterday he was a little one and I already miss him!!!) Anyway, we asked you guys to pray for Cole that he would get a 30 on his ACT so that he could possibly get a good scholarship to Samford University in Birmingham.

Well, God heard our prayers as we lifted them together, and Cole made a 30 on his ACT on the first try! And, we just received a letter dfrom Samford University offering Cole an Academic and Music Scholarship that pays everything but room and board for all four years! Praise our great God who knows our needs, hears our prayers, and answers!!!

A BIG thanks to all of those who prayed for Cole….know that God heard you and answered! Hallelujah!

Our family had yet another great time in Jasper, Florida! In the past, we conducted a marriage conference, but this time, Dale and Cole led a Wild Game Men’s Event, and Jorja and I got to lead the ladies in a Bible Study on Spiritual Warfare. It was a lot of fun and we got to see some wonderful friends, the Bullard’s. We trust that God will continue to water the seeds sown and that much fruit will grow as a result of our time together.

We love you guys!
