In the Throne Room

My name is Gigi and I am a Christian...proud and unapologetic. I was a lifelong Catholic - up until a few years ago when the priest sexual abuse scandal hit a bit too close to home. And rocked my very foundation of beliefs. But by the GRACE of my Lord Jesus Christ, I am finding my way back - not to Catholicism, but to my Savior. This is my journey...I would love it if you would share it with me. Sit with me for awhile, won't you...in the Throne Room of the Lord.

Wow with a Capital W

Just wanted to put up a quick post to say I'm back from the Extraordinary Women Conference and when I say "wow" I mean "WOW!!!!"

Blessing followed blessing and you can be sure I will tell you all about it!

I so appreciate your prayers for JJ and myself. And you were in my thoughts and prayers this weekend too!

Give me a few days to gather myself together and continue praying over what the Lord put upon my heart this weekend and I'll be back to share, share, share about what I heard, what I felt and what a magnificent, loving, Savior we serve!

Until then, I'm going to close with one of the Scripture verses we were asked to read to prepare for the conference. I told JJ that I must have read this verse a hundred times if I've read it once. But as I read it the other night, it was as if I were reading it for the very first time. What clarity! What simplicity! The Holy Spirit was already at work, readying me for the "work" ahead!

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5 NLT

On July 8, 2008 my Sweet Hubby was hospitalized for what we thought was a bleeding ulcer. On July 10, 2008 he was diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer with metastases to his liver. Truly a diagnosis no one ever wants to hear...

From the very hour he was diagnosed, we determined that we would continue to place our trust and faith in the Lord and seek to always honor and glorify Him. Yes, even (especially!) in the midst of chaos. One thing that we KNOW for sure is that God is good ALL the time! We are blessed...

**I've been putting off the update to my intro for quite some time now. But delaying it doesn't change the truth...my new reality. On November 9th, 2008, my Sweet Hubby went to be with Jesus. I miss him every minute of every hour of every day. And I will, until I close my eyes for the last time on this earth only to reopen them in Paradise and see His face...and the face of my beloved once again. But for now, I pray to know God's will for me that I might be used to glorify Him.
