A Testimony of God's Faithfulness
By ~ Lydia Froemming & Dionne Fisher
This last weekend God did amazing things at the 19th Bright Lights Strong in the Lord Conference. We (Lydia & Dionne) had the opportunity to lead a small group of 14, 11-14 year old girls – it was an amazing experience. God taught us that when we are at our weakest, he is at his strongest, as it says in 2nd Corinthians 12:9-10 “My grace is sufficient for thee, for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly will I therefore rather glory in my infirmities that the power of Christ may rest upon me … for when I am weak, then am I strong.”
Friday night we were a little worried because our teams was quiet and unresponsive, two girls in particular seemed unhappy to be there. Saturday about ½ an hour before we left we saw the one girl smile and willingly join in the activities; the other girls also seemed to be enjoying herself more.
We were both tired and didn’t really know what to say but God gave us the wisdom and energy to carry on. It was very encouraging when two of the girls said that the small group was their favorite part of the conference. The moms also seemed to really appreciate what God was doing through our small group. We are so grateful God was able to use us this weekend, as vessels to share his love with the girls and moms.
We were driving home on 394/12 and suddenly we were on 94 west. Now how did that happen? We just didn’t know, it didn’t help that the roads were very snowy and the there was lots of wind. So Dionne called Lydia’s mom, who after several minutes was able to determine our location. After determining where we were, we were able to determine where we should have been, that is a good thing to know. After following a snow-plow with blinking lights, for forever, we had severe head-aches and tired eyes. 4 ½ hours after we left the conference we arrived safely at the Froemming home (with out blowing into the river.)
Praise the Lord for his faithfulness! J
