Beth Moore's Living Proof Live Event
I have been blessed to take part in two different Beth Moore Bible studies through TKC MOPS. The first time I signed up, I had no idea who she was and what it would be like. I fell in love immediately with the way she was able to share the Word so clearly. She is so funny and so easy to relate to. I then read her book, Get Out of That Pit! I was amazed and still think of her words to help me out of a difficult situation. She's great.
I want to tell you what happened to me in the past 3 days. I am a blogger, and I love to read other blogs. I am a subscriber to Beth Moore's blog and read it regularly. When I opened up my reader on Thursday, I saw an entry that stated they were giving out 20 scholarship funds for women to attend her live event in Baltimore the next day (Friday). What? This would be my dream to see her live, but I have to admit my family is struggling with finances right now. My husband is in the construction business and we are just so blessed that he has a job, but we couldn't afford any extras like this. I would need a scholarship if I were to go. So, I thought that I would call the number, but I was sure they would have no extra tickets. I mean they were only giving 20 out and it was already hours into the time allotted. I called, and talked with Kimberly who told me that YES! they do have a ticket for me and would be honored if I joined them. How nice she was. I was beyond excited because it was a two day event Friday night and Saturday morning that I was going to be blessed by Beth Moore's teaching in person!
It was an amazing experience and I would recommend anyone who has a chance to go, to do it! Her words went straight to my heart and I'm loving jamming out to Travis Cottrell in my car. :)
God did this for me. He knew there was something that I needed to hear in that stadium, with Beth Moore, on that day, in that moment. I listened.
Enjoy some of the videos I took while there, they are short and sweet but I wanted to share the atmosphere.
 |
| Here she is! Right by me! |
 |
| The whole worship team. It was so moving! So many people singing with all their might in response to Travis Cottrell. Wonderful worship leader! |
 |
| Travis Cottrell. I suggest getting his CD, the live version. He really gets you into it. Amazing feeling. |
 |
| I was actually quite close to the stage, but they also had these huge tv screens for those who couldn't see it well. |
 |
| Beth Moore went into the crowd many times to talk and discuss with the women attending the event. Her bodyguard did follow close behind her though. |
 |
| Beth Moore wholeheartedly supports Samaritan's Purse which helps feed the poor. So excited to help in these efforts. Can't wait to see you all at the next MOPS meeting! -Elaine |

What a great turn out we had for the MOPS annual yard sale! It's one of the most important fundraisers we have as a MOPS group and we couldn't have been more blessed. We were blessed with no rain, MOPS members to work the event, and people who were there to purchase the items! I was there for awhile and really, just like Kristen said, it was a blast. I loved being able to see what people picked out, talking with them, and eyeing all the baked goods! So yummy. Thank you Kristen, who put the plans in motion for this event. Thank you for all those who donated, helped sort, price items, move items, and sold baked goods. Thanks to Mr. Heck and all those who prayed for good weather and good people. We are blessed.

Julie Barnhill Spring Event
Call her a 21st century Erma Bombeck with a pleasantly skewed twist!
Her quirky style, hilarious delivery, and authentic confessions of her own struggles and defeats have made Julie Barnhill a highly popular keynote speaker and break-out session leader. For more about Julie, check out www.juliebarnhill.com.
She is coming to The King's Chapel on March 4th and 5th! Limited seating- register fast!
Julie is just like you and me. She is a mom who has faced trials and challenges and God had taught her along the way to lean on Him for even the smallest problem or big ones. The great thing about Julie is that she likes to make her audience laugh until they snort while leading them to deeply seeking Christ. It is going to be fun and inspiring! I can't wait! I will need a good laugh and some inspiring motivation by March, how about you?
Friday night, March 4th, 7pm - 9pm, Julie will be speaking particularly to mothers in all stages of motherhood. "One Tough Mother: The Non-negotiables of Stepping Up & Being the Mom." If you don't step up as a parent, someone else will step in. Julie offers ten absolutes every mom needs to implement in the life of her children and home.
Saturday, March 5th, 1pm - 4pm, she will discuss "Running after Jesus" which all women will enjoy. "Running After Jesus" compels women to get serious about following Jesus as they choose to quit playing games with personal holiness, stop allowing others to diminish the intensity of their walk with Jesus, and begin displaying the radiance that comes from learning to Live! Move! and Be! in relationship with an irresistible Savior.
Tickets can be purchased at www.tkcwomen.eventbrite.com
You may attend one event for $20 or both for $30.
Purchase 5 tickets in advance by check and receive one free.
Invite your friends: find us on facebook at "The Kings Chapel Julie Barnhill Womens Spring event" or email us for an invitation that you may give or send to friends.
Make a ladies night out event out of it! The Hilton Garden Inn in Fairfax has offered a special rate of $75. To book a room, contact them at 703-385-7774 and ask for the "Barnhill event" rate.
Please email tkcbarnhillevent@gmail.com for any further information.

Day Four- Heart vs. Stomach
A Treat Just for Him
Get a food treat for your husband that he's not required to share with you or any other family member.
Prayer for Today: Dear God, I want my husband to know that he is honored and cherished, even in the little things I do for him.
Stumped for Ideas? Here are some thoughts:
-Get his favorite ice cream and hide it behind the frozen chicken, ready and waiting for his special night.
-Is there a certain candy he loves from childhood? check out wwww.candywarehouse.com and see if you can find it for him.
-Is there a certain cut of meat your husband loves? Have the butcher cut something just for him.
What is your plan for today? Let us know the results!

Day Three!
Say something nice about your husband to someone else. Make sure you tell him what you said, and to whom.
Dear God, let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Your sight.
I love this one! I could brag on my husband all day long.
What can you praise your husband for? Does he work hard? Is he a loving father? Does he stand up for what's right? What will YOU brag on your husband for?
