A Devine Intervention

Okay, Emmie's Hope!
Yesterday started off a down day....we are holding this Women's Conference on May 1st. And ticket sales are slow, it is a huge expense and we do not want to start our new project in the red.
So we were at a local coffee shop (not our usual coffee place) and we never really feel good energy there, don't know why, but Loodles is our "Office"--always good energy there. (Christian energy):). Okay, so we discuss pulling the plug on this conference. Back up-we have been trying to get local colleges to approve this conference for continuing ed. credits for teachers who attend, total win/win. Think of all the teachers we could market! But not looking good, they are dragging their feet..., also looking for key advertising space in an awesome shopping area in Loveland-great advertising possibilities. Yea right, $$$$$. We have none. Okay, we decide to give it one more day, that's it, one more day. We leave and go home feeling a little frustrated. I check my email, from the shopping center, Okay Diane, can you have 2 40x50 posters made, we are going to give you two spots in our huge directories..oh, and no charge! Margo forwards me the sweetest email ever....Adams State....we have approved your conference for .5 CEU for teachers attending your conference!
Good Grief, why do we doubt. Jamie my niece told me when we started Emmie's Hope, since we were declaring ourselves "Faith-based" we would have obstacles in our way....Satan doesn't like us doing God's work...I am here to say, Satan was alive and well and trying to make us doubt yesterday. And we had doubt, he loved it. But guess what, God is on our side, HE was there for us! HE is awesome!
Keep the faith people, it's when you doubt that things become unclear...Oh yea, did I mention, we are on the biggest jumbo electronic sign on I-25! Advertising this conference? For free! Good grief! Note to self- QUIT DOUBTING!
