I recently went to a conference in Pickwick, TN. We arrived Friday and I had to speak on Saturday morning. That evening when the Conference began,,,,,a beautiful lady got up and shared her testimony. She had lost her husband and a few months later, her son passed away,,,,unexpectedly. WOW, this shook me to my core and I began to weep at the thought of the loss this precious lady endured and endures daily. You see....I knew I had to share MY testimony the next day and mine is so completely different than hers.....Satan began to make me feel that shame and guilt and regret so strong that I felt like packing my stuff up and RUNNING back home!!! I didn’t want to tell my story....my past....my testimony. I had ladies praying for me because within myself I did not have the courage even though I had told my story many times before. That night I did not sleep well, cried all night and dreaded the next day. BUT...Saturday came and it was time for me to share my testimony. I just have to give GOD all the glory. HE spoke through me and I don’t even remember the words I said.....I just know that it was a BEAUTIFUL story....a story of God’s grace and mercy and forgiveness......Lives were changed that day and one of them was mine. HE showed me not to be ashamed but in ALL things GIVE HIM PRAISE. He used ME that day to tell a story of how Satan can and will destroy lives if we let him. BUT GOD said TRUST ME......I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU...and HE didn’t and HE hasn’t. Thank you GOD for allowing me to be used for YOUR glory and I give YOU all the praise because YOU are worthy. I am still receiving messages of how my testimony touched and changed their lives. Women were breaking free from that bondage Satan had them bound with for years. With GOD ALL things are possible. When GOD forgives us...HE washes us CLEAN....Don’t let Satan hold you captive to your past. It is under the blood...Thank you Lord for dying on the cross for MY sins. All that I have, ALL that I am, All I ever hope to be...is because MY God is FAITHFUL...</p>Darlene Chapmantag:www.darlenechapman.com,2005:Post/42171862016-06-07T08:30:45-05:002016-06-07T08:30:45-05:00WOW....what a weekend!!!!Well, it was a busy but very good weekend. I started out on Thursday night singing at Kingston Springs United Methodist. What a great night. So much talent there. I made some wonderful new friends and the Church was full. Then on Friday morning I packed up and headed to Jackson Missouri. I got set up and ready for the Extraordinary Joy Women's Conference sponsored by Covenant Life Church. It was so wonderful. The women outdid themselves. It was so beautiful, the decorations, everything was planned out and well executed....There were women from all walks of life there. Some struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, some from abusive relationships and others were dealing with life problems. We found ways to deal with difficult situations and find happiness even in the darkest of days. Lives were changed and I give GOD all the glory for that. I am just humbled that God uses me to be the messenger. Then on Sunday morning I shared in word and song at Covenant Life Church. Thankful for the opportunity to speak about God's goodness and his forgiveness and mercy. Then I headed home. I am grateful for safety and the anointing God gave me this weekend. Excited about the future and all the doors God is opening........Keep an eye on my schedule....I hope to be in your area soon.Darlene Chapmantag:www.darlenechapman.com,2005:Post/40283482016-02-06T09:15:54-06:002016-02-06T09:19:48-06:00Gearing up for a BUSY 2016!!!!I am so excited about 2016!!!

Finally the time had come and I must say. IT WAS GREAT!!!!! They danced, and would sing along and clap their hands....I had my picture made with everyone and some of them ACTUALLY thought I was the REAL Dolly!!!! One of the clients there carried a Dolly doll around with him all the time and proudly showed it to me. Another fellow actually CRIED when we had our photo together....He had invited his whole family to see the show!!!!!! It's ironic that even when I am not in DOLLY costume, people tell me that I remind them of her......So, I am bringing Dolly back......If I can brighten someone's day like I did with Morning Pointe folks....I will gladly do it again.....So, check out the photos in the Gallery. Not bad I would say!!!!! Why don't you have Dolly at your next Women's Conference or Festival? Lots of fun!!!!! I will be posting some videos soon!!!!Darlene Chapmantag:www.darlenechapman.com,2005:Post/39221352015-11-10T07:52:08-06:002015-11-10T07:56:08-06:00The Holidays MEAN BUSY, BUSY, BUSYWell, it is almost Thanksgiving......THEN Christmas.......THEN New Year's!!!!! I am excited about upcoming events that GOD has given me the opportunity to be a part of ......Several Concerts with Jericho Junction.....A Dolly Parton Tribute Show, Two Women's Conferences in December, A Special Christmas Concert, New Year's Eve singing with Jericho Junction....and on and on.....AND.......preparing for an even busier 2016.......SO be sure to check my Events page often.....Also visit JerichoJunctionMinistries.com for concert dates and times as well.

After our group Jericho Junction disbanded, I prayed for God to give me guidance and direction as to what to do next. As the saying goes....when you don't know what to do......stand still and WAIT. That is not easy for me because I am all about doing God's work. I don't like to be idle......So.....without doing anything but praying, God has shown me where and what HE wants me to do. I cannot believe how God uses people to touch your lives without you even knowing it. I truly believe that scripture in the Bible...... Psalms 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by The Lord..............I know HE has sure proved that to me. <br><br>I would love the opportunity to come and host a women's conference at your church and/or women's group or event. There is nothing like a group of ladies together, sharing, worshipping and praying. There is something special about it and I am so glad God is using me to encourage other women. Life is hard sometimes and we all need support and help from time to time. Go to my contact page if you would like to get in touch with me or have me speak and share my heart and testimony.Darlene Chapmantag:www.darlenechapman.com,2005:Post/37235162015-06-01T07:55:00-05:002015-06-01T07:58:33-05:00Times are changing!!!!Well, can I get an AMEN that times (as we know it) are certainly changing???? With that so does life bring change. I am seeking direction in the NEXT phase of my ministry. In order to do that, I have to STOP, TAKE TIME and LISTEN. I love speaking and sharing my testimony even as painful and as shameful as it is. I LOVE showing what grace can do for you. GOD'S grace is sufficient for EVERY need. I am getting more involved in Women's Ministry and would love to come and speak or HOST. a conference for YOU . God has a plan, a PERFECT plan, we just have to learn to follow and not lead. Sometimes that is very hard for me because I want to get busy about doing it NOW. So let me know if you would like to have me come and be a part of your next church service or Women's event!!!!
