I just happened to turn to a station toady where Thelma was speaking on Winning. I was so discouraged and really not wanting to do anything and God used her today to wake up my spirit. When she quoted John 10:10.I knew God had me tune in and He wanted me to know He sees me! I choose today to be a winner even when my finances and my job search has left me down.I am not out because He's come! Thank you for your ministry and your encouragement today. Ephesians 3:20-21 is still true.I needed to remember this today. God Bless!

Thelma - I don't know if you know how many people around the world think of you as a girlfriend, maybe we shouldn't but we do! You are an inspiration!
Just wanted you to know that you are loved, like you needed my 2 cents worth. Thanks for all you do and all you have added to my life, if from afar.
May God continue to bless you

She was fabulous. In my mind the perfect christian women's speaker is one who is witty while giving life changing truths from the word of God. Thelma is so ggifted in both of these areas. She is a gem! One in a million!

Thelma,
Tonight was wonderful. Thanks for giving your heart and soul to God's work. I am the red head who brought my friend over to meet you at your table tonight. I have invited her to different church events thru the past 4 years that I have known her and tonight, she finally said YES. I just wanted you to know some of the background stories of your audience and your impact on our lives. My friend, Dawn went online to your website and checked you out before telling me yes, so I guess you checked out OKAY. ha. As we drove home, we were able to talk about the way your words spoke to our lives and the place we are in our lives right now. She is 40+ & her husband 50 and they have just adopted a baby boy. My kids grew up with Anne's so I am in another place in life, searching for my purpose. Having Moses to raise was not a chance and we talked about Dawn's son Eli, and how he being in her life is not a chance adoption. Your Moses story led us into some great conversations. This morning, I took my dog for a walk in the woods behind our town library. As I walked, I wished I had carried my Bible. I had just talked with my husband that evening about how I wished I read my Bible more. I am Anne's most severe A.D.H.D. friend, so I don't ever sit down long enough to read anything. My husband told me how he always keeps his Bible in his truck & when he goes out in the morning for his coffee & time away from me (I am a morning person/He is not), that is when he sits and reads his Bible. As I am walking Charley, my dog, I am really wishing for my Bible. Then I look down and at my feet is a Bible! Wow, now I had been having a conversation with God about this & now all of the sudden, here is a Bible. No way, yes it's true. So, I grab my cell phone camera and start to make pictures of this, cause it was so unbelievable. After a couple of artsy shots, in case I want to create a painting from the photos, I pick up the old Bible to see what God has in store for me. Now we are at the point of remodeling our home to put it on the market, so we can move forward with our lives.anywhere God wants us to be. First thing some people say is : Maybe God wants you in Haiti, but I think, that does not sound like me, but what ever.I will do it. Then I feel bad for not thinking Haiti is a great idea. So, you can imagine how relieved I was when you said how God is not interested in making us do something that he did not design us for. Now I don't have to feel guilty about the Haiti thing. God has blessed me with an rich art talent and a passion for using that talent for his kingdom, so I enjoyed your message tonight about learning to realize what God has already started in our lives. Now, back to the Bible.I look down & I can see it is the book of Exodus, which I am thinking, WoW that is kinda where we are right now in our lives, ready to move on to the place God has planned for us. But as I pick it up, I realize the Bible is written in Spanish! I decided to leave it for the next hiker to stumble across, maybe they will speak the language. But I did tear out the page it was open to as a reference. I will read it tonight (from my Bible) and see what God has to say to me. During all this, my dog wandered back to the car with out me and now I can't find him. I search for 20 or 30 minutes, but he is now where to be found. Then my cell phone/camera rings and it is the city pound & they have my puppy in jail. For 15 bucks, I can get him out. Someone walking out by the cars had seen him and "rescued" him. As I am driving to the dog pound, I start getting kinda ticked off, because someone has taken/stolen my dog from me and now I have to go pay to get him back! What a crazy day. At least it all ended in a great evening with you and my friends in God's house. Now I am headed to bed to read my page from Exodus, but out of my English Bible. Thanks to you and Anne Hailey for letting God speak thru you!

Alanna - RTW Grapevine Conference
Dear Mama T,
I attended the conference this weekend and I have to say thank you. At the end of the conference, I looked up on the stage and saw you up there with what you termed your "girlfriends". I saw so much more and it made me want so much more. I don't know if those ladies truly understand what they have in you, but I do. I thank you for being obedient. I thank you for caring as much as you do. I am sure that I am one of many out there who are looking for the type of mentoring that those women have received in you. Not just a friendship but a spiritual mother who has been in their corner. I can only imagine what that must feel like and pray that one day God will send someone like you into my life as I try to be obedient to the call that He has on my life. But in the meantime, I will continue to do everything that I know how in order to ensure that I do win in 2010.
With much love, Alanna Jefferson

Jen S - RTW Grapevine Conference
I was superly-blessed to hear Jennifer Strickland's message about the modeling industry and finding her value in God. I have been working through this for the last 5-6 months on really getting strongly rooted in God's love for me and His value of me. I believe not only will this help in my life, but as a photographer, I'm going to be meeting models that may or may not have a healthy image. I told Jennifer that I was excited to use her book and God's word as a tool to reach people. I'm really excited about what 2010 holds! Thanks ladies! ~Jen S.

Dear Mrs. Wells -
I had the great privilege of attending your program yesterday in Grapevine, TX. I met you and your daughter during our Women's' Christmas Dinner program for Harvest Church in December 2009. I have also read a couple of your books and am currently reading God Wants You To Win. I must say that you and your team of speakers are absolutely a blessing for me, I have had a hard time in the last few years and have struggled with my walk because I felt some of my prayers were not being answered but yesterday, I was able to feel the Holy Spirit move within me and give me examples through some of the testimonies that I am not alone and have not been alone on my walk.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to gain some perspective during my season of pain, because I know that my Father has not or will not forsake me even though I felt as though I was completely alone.
May you continue to bless more women and touch more lives through your wonderful and fulfilling ministry in 2010.

Thelma: I don't know if you remember, but I am the one you prayed over while on the Christian Cruise to Mexico, and you told me that you felt God was telling you that I needed to "Break it off" with the wrong guy.SO God could bring the right on to me. Well, I had finally let go and Let God, and was truly happy being a single woman AND LOW AND BEHOLD, there he appears out of Nowhere---right in front of me. God is so amazing and I am truly blessed to have Harold love and cherish me like he does. I have missed that for years and it is wonderful to have.
Blessings my dear sister in the Lord, Donna
PS Thelma--keep on praying for women who request it, cause God IS using you in a mighty way.
