It warmed my heart so much to have Danielle ask me how things are at our house. Thank you, Danielle! Everybody is doing well. Both boys have completely recovered, and Barry and I stayed well. I'm incredibly thankful.
Now my thoughts are turning more and more to She Speaks. Friends, I look forward to She Speaks almost as much as Christmas and even more than my birthday. (That's saying a lot, because I really, really love being queen for the day.) I think I love She Speaks so much primarily because it's a setting to watch God do incredible things. Every year I leave with an overflowing heart and a mind full of the stories of God's faithfulness and power.
I wanted to take this post to point to Lysa's blog. She is doing a series on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week to help prepare hearts for She Speaks. I think she addresses some things that would help all of us in our walk, though.
Yesterday she talked about writing. It encouraged me so much on a day that I was struggling with discouragement. I'm reworking my book proposal, and inevitably the question surfaces--"What in the world do I have to add to all the books that have been written?" Lysa eloquently explains the value of writing beyond published books.
Are you a journaler? A secret writer of stories? Do you have a topic that you long to explore in writing? Make sure to read Lysa's post!
For you that are going to She Speaks, there are only 17 days left until we're together. I'm praying for all of you that are coming. Come expectant to see God work!

I'm very glad to hear that all are thriving in your household! That is wonderful.
When you say that there's 17 days left... that freaks me out!lol I'm so excited and yet so nervous. I think if I hadn't signed up for an Eval. group, I'd be just a bit nervous because of coming and not knowing a SINGLE person.
I've never done anything like this before. But, with the Eval. I'm excited and nervous and scared... But I know God is bigger than my emotions!
He can take care of me. This is know.
I look forward to meeting you!
Love in Christ
Yes, I was so busy counting down the days (and the tasks) until my daughter's wedding (32) that I hadn't noticed that it was only 17 days to She Speaks! I will switch mindsets around the end of next week when I finish up all the bridesmaids' dresses.....
Hope to see you there....actually I'll hunt you down just to say hello even if our paths don't cross.
I just LOVED all of Lysa's devotions. I am so thankful she wrote those and the womens' stories give us such a precious gift - a peek in to the hearts of those who will be there.
I cannot wait to see you. I would love to visit and catch up over one of our lunch times (maybe Thurs) since the rest of the weekend will be a whirlwind!
Can't wait to watch and see with you all that He has planned.
BIG HUGS!

Amy,
Counting down the days, I'm SO EXCITED! Seriously, I'm like a babbling little girl over She Speaks right now, I can't imagine how I'll be when I've actually experienced it!!!!
I'm pondering my speeches & so far haven't gotten too overwhelmed, I'm praying against anxious thoughts for all our sisters attending She Speaks.
Can't wait to see you! Will you be @ the dinner Thurs night?
Blessings to you & your fam!
