Girl of Worth stuff and the Duggar Family interview
Wow, can you believe how the summer is just rolling by? I love summer. Oh, I really do. :) It's my FAVORITE!

We have been so busy around here and I love it that way. Right now, Danya and I are so excited about the Girl of Worth Conference that we can hardly stand to wait 19 more days until it's here! There are 300 girls coming and we know that God is going to do something completely awesome! We are so thrilled to be a part of this, and completely overwhelmed by the eternal significance of the day! I was talking with the conference coordinator this morning, and she was reminding me that even if God just touches one girl's life, then everything that we have planned, prepared, and prayed for will be worth it. When God touches a girl's heart, He touches the heart of a future home and family. He touches not one generation, but many. Man, He is SOOO good to plan and purpose the pursuit of our hearts! I am blown away when I ponder the fact that He is tilling the soil of the girls' hearts and preparing them to receive His Word. My confidence is completely in Him, that He will complete the good work He has begun.

Speaking of completion, I will finally be getting my new book this week! I have actually determined to take a vow of silence on the many delays that we experienced in the publication process this time, and I just apologize to the people who have been waiting so long. I am trusting that God's timing is perfect. He knew all the delays were ahead of me, and He kept me from losing my mind over the past two months!

I even have a new book in the works! I will try to do better with my blog. It is so sporadic and I am just not real good at keeping up with it, but I would love to walk through the process with the new book on this blog, and I just might do that. :) No promises...

I'm interviewing the Duggars on Friday. If anyone has any questions to ask them, please let me know asap. When I talked to JimBob, the dad, a few weeks ago, he said that the Christian media had basically shied away from their family. He said that ParentLife would be only the second Christian magazine that had done a story on them. Any thoughts about that? This lovely family of 19 who love the Lord and are raising their children in a Christian home, who are the "real deal"---and the Christian world is not embracing them? Hmmm. I'd love to hear your thoughts. . .

What a blessing to meet the Duggars and to interview them!

I personally think they are awesome!

Such big hearts they have for the Lord and for kids!

What I don't understand is "why" having children such a crime these days? Jeesh.... if they weren't married then I could see........ but this is a committed couple who are doing what they feel is right!

I for one say kuddos!!

How wonderful to have interviewed the Duggars. They are a beautiful family. It's sad to hear Christian outlets are shying away from them.

I'd love to read the interview someday. :)
