True Woman '10

Okay, maybe I am a bit late in posting about my time at the conference, but I wanted to post about it anyway. And to share some exciting news for all those who didn't make it, or even for those who did.

I had an amazing time. I was encouraged, convicted of my own sin and challenged to seek the Lord in a deeper way in my everyday life. I was blessed to sit at the feet of many godly, radical women who are totally sold out to Christ and who are not afraid to speak the truth of God's word. I was very encouraged to see the nearly 4,000 women who attended the conference. I felt a bit like Elijah, seeing all the ones that the Lord had reserved for Himself who had not bowed the knee to Baal. In the weeks that have followed the conference, I have had the words of all who spoke following me around and echoing in my ears.

The exciting news is that they have made ALL the True Woman conferences available online, to listen to for FREE! Or you can read the transcript. Video is not up yet but will be soon. Everything is also available for purchase. Click here to go to the messages.

Good Message Today...

I really enjoyed this message today. Nancy talks about relationships and how healthy relationships can really be a help to us as believers, and how God has given us each other in our walk. Listen and be encouraged in how to be a good friend and what to look for in those you listen to.

Was It Worth It?

Well, I am on the other side of my trip to Denton now. I battled a bladder/kidney infection right before I left. I cleaned the Suburban on the inside throughly.... which was very satisfying... I left the kids with David, (or...was it David with the kids.... :-) ), and headed out. It was a lot of work to get ready, it took time out of David's productivity, cost money.... So, was it worth it? Did it really go as well as I had hoped? Absolutely. It was well worth and way beyond all the effort that went into me going. I had a blast, but more than that, it was real. Real bible teaching, in-your-face bible teaching, exhortation that I needed to hear. (All humbly yet boldly put forth.) Every part of the conference was timely for me. There was not one moment that I wondered if I should have come, or was this really for me. I never even had a moment where I kind of turned my ears off because the speaker was getting into some foolish jesting about things that are not to be jested about or expressing less than ideal attitudes about husbands, etc. I don't know if those reading know me that well, but that is very rare for me. I am a pretty thick-skinned person most of the time, and am pretty good at spitting out bones in messages and getting the meat. But I usually find myself spitting bones a lot! It was rather nice to be able to just enjoy the fare set before me and not have to examine and pick off trash before eating. :-) It was rather refreshing! I had a great time of refreshing and have come home with new resolve and vision. I was also just greatly encouraged that what I am doing here at home is important and valuable.
