Heads up, y’all

 

Just a quick note to let you know what’s going on today and for the next few Tuesdays.

You might be familiar with volumes 1, 2, and 3 of my article The Mailbag: Do you recommend these teachers/authors? Each article contains a brief write-up on about ten teachers, for a total of nearly thirty.

I’ve decided to break these lists down into a single article for each teacher in order to make things more user friendly for those who need to present information on a certain teacher to a friend or pastor.

So, today and for the next few weeks until I get this done, what that’s going to mean is that you’re going to see several articles on the teachers from these lists posted on the blog each Tuesday. Most of the content will not be new. I’ll basically be copying and pasting information from the original articles (volumes 1, 2, and 3) to individual posts. However, since some of these write ups are approaching three years old, I’ll be doing a minor “check up” on the content of each and adding/deleting/updating anything I feel is necessary.

If you subscribe to the blog via e-mail or another platform, I apologize for any inconvenience of receiving multiple e-mails or notifications for these posts for the next few weeks.

Oh, and one more thing. I’d really like to run a Testimony Tuesday article soon, but I’m plum out of testimonies! If you’d like to write up your testimony for the blog, click the link above and check out the guidelines (at the end of each article). Remember, it can be about your salvation experience, but it doesn’t have to be. It could be about something simple like an answered prayer or how your church family blesses and encourages you. Also, it doesn’t have to be article-length. I’m actually looking for some shorter (1-3 paragraph) testimonies for another compilation article (like the first one at the link above).

OK, let the article barrage commence! :0)

A Quick Heads Up

UPDATE (9/4/18)- Thanks so much for your prayers. Models are now showing the cone is tracking well to the east of my area. Landfall is expected tonight at Cat. 1,2, or 3 level. Let’s keep our Mississippi friends and churches in prayer.

Hi Friends-

Just a quick heads up about something. As many of you are aware, I live in south Louisiana. We’re being advised that a tropical storm is moving into the Gulf this week. It probably won’t mean anything more for my area than some extra rain, but we occasionally lose power during storms. If, for some reason, you pop in on the blog this week and I haven’t posted anything, that’s probably why. Have a blessed week! :0)

Road Trip!

I’m on the road with my family today, traveling to speak at a women’s conference in the Memphis area tomorrow, and then on to visit loved ones. Your prayers are much appreciated.

Lots of great content coming your way over the next several days, so stick around. Lord willing, I’ll be back late next week.

Just So URL Know…

 

Just a little announcement…

I’ve changed the blog’s URL from MichelleLesleyBooks.com to MichelleLesley.com. Same blog, same content, just drop the “books” and you’re good to go. For the next year, the old address will seamlessly automatically redirect you to the new address.

I’m trying to make my way around the web to change the site address anywhere I have it listed, but after seven years with the old address, I can’t begin to remember all the nooks and crannies I need to search out and correct.

If you happen to see my old web address listed somewhere, I surely would appreciate a heads up so I can get over there and update it to the new address.

And if you’ve been so kind as to link to my blog or any of my articles on your own web site, the old address will work just fine for the next year, but after that, the links will need to be changed to the new URL or they won’t work.

Why the change? I originally moved over to WordPress from Blogspot because I was told it was a better platform for marketing and publicity for my book which we were trying to get off the ground at the time. I wanted to use MichelleLesley.com when I was getting settled in at WP, but someone else had already purchased and was using that domain (Can you believe there are TWO of us? :0) So I stuck “books” on the end of the address because the blog was originally intended to be the vehicle for promoting and selling my first book and any to come in the future.

So now that my book is out of print, the “books” part is cumbersome and doesn’t make much sense, AND MichelleLesley.com is finally freed up for me to use, so, voila!

Upcoming Events: Let’s Meet and Greet! (Maybe this week?)

I’m headed out for the G3 Conference tomorrow, so I thought I’d rerun this article. I still want to do an informal “Hey, y’all, I’m standing in the lobby right now, come on by!” type of meet and greet at the conference center, but I’ll need to figure out where and when once I get there, so stay glued to my Facebook or Twitter for the details. Hope to see you there!


It’s always so much fun for me when I can get out on the road and meet some of my online brothers and sisters face to face. Here are a couple of upcoming events where we might be able to do just that!

January 18-20, 2018
G3 Conference
Atlanta, Georgia

For almost a year, I’ve been desperately hoping to attend the 2018 G3 Conference, but travel expenses plus the cost of the conference put that event out of my reach. Recently, I won complimentary tickets to G3 in a Wretched Radio contest, which will allow a good friend to travel with me and split expenses. What a blessing! I am THERE!

The biggest reason I had been wanting to attend this conference is the theme: discipleship. Since my ministry centers around women’s discipleship, I see this as sort of an “in service” training event. An opportunity to sit under fabulous teachers like Steve Lawson, Phil Johnson, Justin Peters, Martha Peace (and many more!) and learn how to serve you, my dear readers, as well as the ladies of my own church, better.

I’m hoping to do a very informal, low key, meet and greet time for my readers at the conference venue (The Georgia International Conference Center) either before or between sessions on one of the three conference days. I probably won’t be able to give much advance notice on the blog, so be sure to follow me on Facebook or Twitter for the time and place.

I’ve only been to Atlanta once, briefly, so if you live in the area and have any travel, traffic, hotel, or restaurant advice or if there are any discounts you know of that would be helpful, I’m all ears! Please comment below or e-mail me at MichelleLesley1@yahoo.com. (We will be driving in, not flying.)

If my ministry has blessed you and you’d like to be a blessing in return by helping to defray the costs of my trip, your generosity would be much appreciated. Please click here or on the “Financial Support” tab at the top of this page.

Hope to see you at G3!
