Last summer, around this time of the year, I was working in my office and praying about what conferences I wanted to attend for the upcoming year. Spiritually, I knew I needed to do more, and I am so glad I did. I looked online and found the YouLead conference. I could have selected the one in close proximity to me, but I needed a long drive with the hubster, so off to Toledo we went.
An 8-hour commute up the PA turnpike served up exactly what we needed. We usually take road trips in the other direction and head down south, but this time, I knew in my spirit this conference would be a game-changer, and it was on so many levels. I arrived there in the parking lot of the church on that Friday and went in to get a feel of where to go for the activities the next day. We met the worship leader Levi who showed us around, and off to the hotel we went. My husband hung out at the hotel while I attended the event on Saturday morning, and of course, a very long train tried to distract our ever-so-exciting prompt pursuit, but we know the plans of the enemy and quickly ignored it.
I headed in and found my seat, and I will never forget that day. I met so many awesome women and received such a refreshing new perspective on women's ministry. My heart felt like it was mushy as I listened to the women share their ideas and their love for God’s word. I walked away with a new Bible and so many other goodies. I talked about it all the way home and made the decision that these ladies were on fire for God and I would immerse myself into their Bible studies. I would not only learn but teach the content to others because I wanted everyone to know how I now looked at God’s word.
Thee Bible= inspiring, alive, answer-bearing and so much more.
Since then, we glean much and are forever grateful to www.lifeway.com for helping us in our life walk and for so generously giving of many resources.
