Kate McRae is a 5 year old little girl in Arizona.  I have never met Kate in person but she has captured a little piece of my heart and I wanted to share it with you.  You see, Kate is fighting a heart breaking battle against brain cancer.  If you read that and don’t want to read on please do!  So many times we turn away from things that are ugly and make us sick because it hurts too much but this little girl needs us to pay attention! 

 Everyday when I read the post of her parents on their site I’m reminded of  the blessing that my babies are!  I don’t take for granted their health and abilities anymore.  I hold them a little closer and appreciate them a little more because I don’t know what tomorrow holds.  So, please take a second to visit Kate’s sight.  Look at the pictures of this beautiful blond hair, blue eyed baby girl and read her story.  Please pray for her and her family everyday!

The McRae’s are definately a Faith Family! Kate’s father is a pastor and they have 2 other young children.  They have faith in a God who is bigger than cancer and are clinging to the hope that He will heal little Kate in His time!  Join me in that prayer for Kate, that God will miraculously heal her and His name be glorified for all His great works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, this is my first post and I must admit I am a little nervous.  It has been 2 days since I returned from the ‘She Speaks’ conference and my brain is still processing everything I heard.  One thing that did process thankfully is the lesson I learn from the greatest teacher of all.  You see, I went to the conference ALONE…flew alone, roamed the airport alone, checked into my hotel alone and walked into a conference of 600 women, alone.  This is completely out of character for me because I won’t even go in and eat somewhere if I’m alone.  But, it was undoubtubly God’s plan to get me all alone so He could do some much needed work.

I met some remarkable women Friday night and Saturday morning and as I was walking back to my hotel to ‘process’ some of the information I just heard I began questioning my presence there.  I started discounting myself and what I had to offer in the midst of these remarkable ladies.  I began to discount the gifts and talents God has given me and the story He wanted me to share.  As I was feeling so ordinary with nothing to extraordinary to offer, my sweet Savior began working on my heart. 

My heart grew heavy because He showed me that when I discount myself, I’m actually discounting His work in me.  What a scary thought, that I would act like what He’s done in me isn’t good enough!  It is definitely NOT my desire to discount what God’s done for me in any way, shape or form!  So, the best thing I took away from that conference was the assurance that I am not a discounted woman at all!  I was bought with the highest price known on earth!  I was purchased by the blood of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!  There is NOTHING cheap about His sacrifice!  How thankful I am for the gifts He’s given me and the purpose He’s placed in my life! 

You were bought at a price, therefore honor God with your body.
