I had some Mommy time this weekend with two of my best girl friends. I went to the Extraordinary Women's Conference in Lynchburg, VA. It was awesome to put it mildly. I set out going because Karen Kingsbury was one of the speakers and I LOVE HER BOOKS!!! I can read one book in a day. I strongly recommend her Redemption Series. You will fall in love. To my surprise all of the speakers were great.
Friday night started out with Chonda Pierce. She is a comedian and she was hilarious. What is great about her is she was able to use some of her life experiences, humor and love for God all in one presentation! On Saturday, Angela Thomas, Carol Kent, Karen Kingsbury and Thelma Wells spoke. Mandisa performed and she was phenomenal! I especially loved her American Idol story of how she forgave Simon form completely humiliating her about her weight. What a testimony of the power of forgiveness.
Carol Kent by far was my favorite. I had never even heard of her before going. In fact, I had gotten up to go get lunch when she started to speak but her testimony brought me back to my seat where I stayed unmoved for the entire time. She talks about her new "Normal." If you ever get the chance to hear her speak I would strongly recommend it. I would drive hours to hear her for 10 minutes - honestly!! I will share more tomorrow but for now it's time to hit the hay!
Blessed beyond measure and better than I deserve,
Heather

Heather,
Sorry I missed you and Ginny this morning. I woke up around 8, so it wouldn't have given me enough time to get ready and I didn't check my facebook or blog last night. Let's definitely get together on a Friday. What does your schedule look like?
