What I learned at She Speaks

  This weekend the She Speaks Conference was held by Proverbs 31.  I was so thrilled to go!  It was very inspiring and so Spirit filled!!!  But, as we all know when we hear a sermon or read scripture there is always a lesson to be learned!!!  Boy, did I ever learn some things about what God wants from me and I discovered things about myself I did not like.

                      ~~  God taught me this weekend~~

  1. Start where I am.  OK- I am teaching a Beth Moore study for some ladies at our church as soon as the materials come in.

2.Serve where God has put me until He reveals other plans for me.

3.Make God the celebrity, not me.  The focus should be on Him.

4. Learn more about Him.  Study His word more.

                   

                       ~~ What I learned about myself~~

1. I don't want to be a "Dull" christian anymore-meaning I want people to see that I am different because of my actions and words.  I want to be spirit filled, and full of life!!  I want them to see Christ in my life!

2.I need to worship Him more and openly.

3.I am not a good friend.  I keep people at an arms length.  I don't really have any close girlfriends.  I don't make time for outside people in my life.  I am too wrapped up in my own life.  Sad, huh?

4.I am selfish with my time, and I need to give more of myself.

 

  It is hard to realize these things about myself, but I know God only reveals the truth to us.  So this weekend not only helped me learn how to speak more effectively, but also showed me where I need to improve in other areas in my life.

  Also, on Saturday evening during our praise and worship time, I felt God's presence so strongly that I cried and cried and cried.  I am not a cryer! 

   I would love to hear from anyone else who attended and your thoughts on the conference. 

                                  Ya'll have a great day!!!

Hey Amy!

I was so excited to see your comment on my blog. How cool. What a small world, huh? How long have you been blogging? I started in March after meeting Marybeth at the Hearts at Home conference in Bloomington, IL.

It was so great meeting you. I had such a wonderful time at She Speaks. I really loved our group, but wish there would have been time to get to know one another better. Maybe you and I can do that online though! ;)

Anyway, I'll definitely add you to my friends list and check your blog regularly. Great to hear from you!

Warmly,
Joni
