I enjoyed meeting some of the people that I admire online this week at Cultivate Conference in Chicago. Names that appear bigger than life to me, because I enjoy their blogs and work so much, were up close and personal. I shook the hands of people like, Jon Acuff, Kem Meyer, Scott McClellan, Kent Shaffer, Tony Steward and Rhett Smith.
This month our local Clarksville Family Magazine featured one such woman, Kelly Blevins.

Never underestimate the power of God’s intervention in your life. He uses broken, mixed up, hurting, fracture stories to mold and shape some of His greatest work.
Either:
* They fail
* Nothing changes
* They shine
* Why is God blessing your efforts?
* Who should most get the credit?
* What if no one recognizes your efforts, would you still be glad you did as much as you did?
