She Speaks Conference Scholarships!

Have you heard about the She Speaks Conference? You can check out all the details at http://shespeaksconference.com/ . Here's a quick preview:

She Speaks is a conference founded in 2001 by Proverbs 31 Ministries with the intent of: "encouraging and equipping women as they communicate God’s Word through writing, sharing their testimony, leading a Bible study and speaking from the podium". Whether you're a woman with a heart for speaking, writing, or leading in women's ministries...the 2011 She Speaks Conference is for you!

Here’s what’s in store for 2011:

She Speaks: (Speakers’ Track) Whether you feel led to speak in a large arena or lead Bible studies in your church, you will be equipped with the tools you need to effectively share your message, build your platform, and market your ministry.

She Writes: (Writers’ Track) Learn everything from basic writing guidelines to preparing an article or manuscript for submission, and everything in between. In addition, you will have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with some of the top editors, publishers, and literary agents in the Christian market.

She Leads: (Women’s Ministry Track) This track is specifically designed for women’s ministry directors and facilitators. Learn creative ways to reach your community, determine the best curriculum for your group, plan effective special events, and share ideas and network with other directors.

Right now on her blog, Lysa TerKeurst is offering the chance to win two Cecil Murphy She Speaks Scholarships to this year's conference! Check that opportunity out at: http://lysaterkeurst.com/2011/03/she-speaks-scholarship-contest-2011. The value of this scholarship is $595, which includes your conference materials, conference registration, 2 nights at the conference hotel and meals associated with the conference. You can also sign up for Cecil's newsletter for writers at: http://themanbehindthewords.com/. He's a very godly man and his newsletters are full of encouragement. If you're a writer at heart, I'd definitely encourage you to sign up for his free newsletter.

Ever since I learned about the She Speaks Conference last year, it has been my dream to attend! I've felt God tugging on my heart to begin using my gifts of writing and speaking and my love of His Word in some way bigger than I can currently imagine. I really think that the She Speaks Conference will be the first step towards God unveiling His plans for my life in this area! However, unless I win a scholarship or God works in some other BIG way between now and when registration closes, my dream will just have to be put on hold another year. So I'm going to attempt to win every She Speaks scholarship that I see between now and when registration closes. That's why I'm writing this blog entry today...to try to be one of Lysa's lucky winners!

What about you? Does this conference spark your interest as well? Want to go and be my roommate? I encourage you to check out the above websites and join me in trying to be one of Lysa's scholarship winners. Oh, and leave me a comment if you're as excited about the possibility of the She Speaks Conference as I am. I'd love to pray for you to be able to win a scholarship or see God come through for you too!

Saying Goodbye

Life is rather surreal right now. Hard to believe this moment is actually here: my Dad is dying. Even though his quality of life has been diminishing over the last year or so, it's still hard to grasp that we're actually in this place. Hospice care. Hospital bed in my parents' living room. Trying to figure out how to let him go. Just 10 days ago he was still walking to the bathroom. Eating. Taking his breathing treatments. Taking all his meds. Interacting with life.  Living the best version of his 85-year-old self. And seemingly overnight - things changed. It's like he just got tired of it all. He just didn't have the energy to do this one. more. year. When Mom and I walked into his hospital room on December 4th - he was angry. Agitated. "Done with this." And so, since then, we've been learning how to say Goodbye. Learning how to give him the best quality of life at home that he can have in the time he has left. Learning how to let him go. Husband

Getting Back On Track

Haven't written a post since November, and I'm kind of chuckling to myself as I read what that post was about. It was ALL about handling "busy." So how'd I do?? FAIL! This past school year was a real struggle for me. It was one of those years where I constantly questioned whether ANYTHING I was doing was right. Every aspect of my life felt out. of. control. Due to the level of busy and my introverted self never getting time to re-charge - my emotional eating kicked back into HIGH gear. My desire to exercise and eat right went out the window. And now, here I am. Trying to let go of the shame and the guilt and the depression and trying to get my health journey back on track. And so...I must write. Weight Loss is ALL in Your Head Yes, you read that right. I'm here to tell you with 100% confidence - you'll never lose weight if you don't have your head on straight. Never. Now, of course, the WAY in which we choose to lose weight is important. An

Mom Moments

Mom. It's the title I'm most proud of. The biggest blessing I've ever experienced. My daily prayer is that I don't screw this up. Well, not exactly, but I most certainly want to get this right! Life is fleeting. Time with these precious beings living under our roof will be gone before we want it to be. God has given us these little blessings, and therefore we have a responsibility to train them up according to His will. I do NOT recommend taking this motherhood thing lightly. God's Word has a lot to say about training up our kids and not leading them astray. Some days, the whole thing can feel pretty overwhelming! Today, I'm just enjoying my kids. Preparing to spend time in the pool as the heat index reaches 100+ this afternoon. Thinking about some fun mom moments from the past week. Wanting to just savor some of the recent blessings just a little bit longer. Here's one of my favorites: last Friday I was at the Speak Up! Conference and left the hous
