Girlfriends at Women of Faith

As soon as he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. And Saul took him that day and would not let him return to his father's house anymore. Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul.1 Samuel 18:1-3 New King James Version

WOW! What a weekend! Some girlfriends and I attended the Women of Faith conference and as usual, it did not disappoint!

Do you ever have those days? Some of those 'days' may turn in to weeks and for some of you it might be a complete season that you find yourself in..the kind where you find yourself less than up to par, less than joyful, less than confident? Seoul-mama was having a week like that last week. There are some personal things that I've been struggling with that I had been holding onto as 'mine'. What I needed to remember and DO was turn it over to HIM, but we forget that sometimes don't we?

So on Friday night I found myself sitting in an arena with 15,000 other women worshipping our Savior, crying and laughing and LETTING GO. I left there with an immediate lift in my spirit that still hasn't subsided.

God continues to show up at exactly the right times, doesn't He?

And if there is one thing I am thankful for it is a group of women with whom I can share 'life'. What a blessing they are, what an answered prayer, what support and let's face it..what a HOOT! These ladies walk different paths, live different lives, have some different interests and I just adore them for it! They add so much to my life.

Highlights for me?

Hearing Steven Curtis Chapman perform and testify to how God has remained faithful to him and his family through the past year following the tragic accident in which his youngest daughter was killed. Loved hearing his call for Orphan care...loved that Women of Faith sounded the siren repeatedly for us to care for those in poverty...loved that Sheila Walsh was so open about her marriage struggles the past two years...loved Mandissa's honest dialogue about her weight and body image...loved the 'hotel room time' after Friday night's session with all the girls and what we laughed about...I'm a fan of girlfriend getaways!!



Love my girlfriends!!
