Moore Wisdom

Living Proof Live Simulcast Lubbock TX from David Lowe on Vimeo.

 I have several mentors, but Beth Moore is one of my favorite!  Her love for the Word of God, her vulnerability of how much she needs the Cross and Jesus, and the way she submits herself before God in humbleness on her knees has combined to guide me in areas of my life that I never knew needed growth!  

Having spent hours in bible study with Beth, it was AWESOME to see her face to face!  There was laughter and tears as Beth covered every spectrum of emotion so genuinely!  The worship was INCREDIBLE!  Her emphasis was 'We were created for good company!'  Sitting closely to my sister-in-law and mother-in-law, I was reminded what a huge blessing it is that God not only gave me my wonderful husband, but also had an precious gift for me in his family!

Ten years ago, my mother-in-law and I had flown to Phoenix to attend a baby shower for my sister-in-law and help with the last touches on my nephew's nursery. Lonnie called early on the 11th and told us to turn on our television.  He stayed on the line but was speechless.  As our eyes watched in disbelief and horror we too were completely speechless.  Several days layer, in high alert, the airports reopened, and we were able to return home.  And just like the rest of the nation, we had a renewed passion to pursue what was truly important in life.  This year Monika, Nici and I were all together again and as Nici and I traveled back home on 9-11, the first leg of the trip neither of us had much to say as we listened to a sermon over the radio and reflected on the amazing miracles that happened in the midst of terror! 
A documentary called, The Cross and the Towers follows the rescue effort after the towers fell. Many of the responders witnessed miracles that almost couldn't be explained.  One rescuer said, “In the midst of the darkness, God’s light shown through.”
