I just found your blog (took me long enough lol) and have a lot of catching up to do!! This message was timely though as I have friends and family that really need me to stand in the gap for them. I have my own struggles with pain…but in many ways – emotional stress is harder to overcome. These people need emotional healing. They are dealing with things that would be difficult for anyone to handle but I keep telling them to press in…focus on God’s word because we are not made to be strong enough to bear the burdens ourselves – that’s God’s forte and His alone. God does, however, place people in our lives to give us further strength and be a vessel to reinforce God’s amazing unconditional love for us. I am so grateful for the people God has placed in my life and that I found a home at Celebration Thanks SO MUCH for being such an amazing example of how to be a powerful and inspiring woman of God, Kerri!!! You are cherished.

In Him,
Carol

Kerri
That is all so true. Thanks for the encouragement!!!!!!! I suffered with depression and discouragement alot in the past. Thank God for all my sisters who stood in the gap for me. Thru sharing Gods love, encouraging , prayer, and many other gentle reminders of Gods love for me in the midst of chaos and confusion. I thank you ,Pastor Stovall, Merideth, Katie Sullivan, Darren, Karen, Pastor James and Lisa Johnson, Gail and Bill Kilganon, Serena and Rachel and John,Heather Lester, Malinda and so many others at your church who continued to pray for and love me just as I was. You all showed me Gods love thru truth and setting an example of what it means to be a Christ Follower. Thanks again to all of you I am a better person because of your love that you shared with me. I pray God continues to use all of you to bless and bring more people into the Kingdom of God each day. You are true warriors, faithful and honest abiding in Gods love each day.
Love ya dearly,
Carolyn

Hi Kerri,
I just found your blog last night! Yeah! I was watching your hubby Stovall on television and my husband Herbert told me that he was with Stovall at a round table. I love connecting with women in ministry and look forward to reading your blog regularly. We pastor in Oklahoma City and love it! Maybe we will cross paths someday. Best to you and your family,
Tiffany Cooper

I just want to give a shout out to all my sisters in Celebration church who have stood by me in my struggles, my discouragements, my bad days and my good days. Your prayers, your support, your love and your place in my life that I believe God has strategically placed each of one of you has helped me on my journey to where I am today and where He is bringing me. I just want to say thank you, I love you, and this sister will ALWAYS have your back…in prayer and loving support that is (unless it’s self defense, j/k)

And thank you Kerri for all you do. The wisdom that God has given you to share with others through your messages, your blogs, your kind words, your prayers, your obedience…you are nothing short of amazing and I love you and appreciate you!

Pastor Kerri,

I just so happened to read that scripture this morning. It really spoke to me as I made sure to underline it not only in my bible, but my husband’s as well. It’s been an honor to be given the chance to stand in the gaps not only for my friends and sisters, but for Will as well.

Thanks for your encouragement.
Gail

“I am referring to a readiness to stand in the gap for our friends and family when the going gets tough.”

I love when you said, “a readiness”. This encourages me to be prepared, willing, and available. In order to have those things, I must be alert and ready for action, always having the word of God hidden in my heart. I have to get rid of the things that hinder me, slow me down, and hold me back from taking action.

Be ready. The going will get tough one day but we must be determined to not throw in the towel. God always sees us through to success!
