Catherine, Eight years ago you spoke at EVBC [East Valley Bible Church] in Gilbert AZ. I sat in the front row and was in awe of your Dance with the Lord. I was a divorced single mother of 2 with a newly justified heart who was hungry for the intimate love that Christ had to offer. Your journaling resources sparked what is now and has been a blazing fire of passion that has been burning deep within me. In 2005 (i think?) we met again at Scottsdale Bible Church as I sat front and center again in a workshop. It was so sweet know that everything you said was true after seeing God transform me and my life for 3 solid years of having QT [quiet time] with the Lord. Two years ago he moved us to California and has recently called me to teach the women at our Church how to "Draw Near" to God!

I prayed for you today, thanking God for the Passion & Ministry He used to draw me to himself! Please pray for me, that in one hour I would encourage the women of our church the way you encouraged me! My testimony is online [video] and I would like you to hear it. They had to cut out some due to lack of time (it's 5-7 min) but I think you will be encouraged!

I hope you will remember me when you ever find yourself wondering if what you are doing is making a difference for the kingdom! It is my friend … it certainly is, so keep it up!
