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!

Finishing 2025 With My Soul On FIRE!

 Well, before I get started, I just have to say - if you don't already know - I actually DID start my podcast!!! There are currently 7 episodes out (with one more scheduled to post Saturday). I am having SO much fun with it! I am just so stinkin' proud of myself for doing the dang thing. LOL Whether I'm the only who ever listens to it - or it reaches a few strangers on the internet - I am so happy to be saying a resounding YES! to God's call on this one. So. Much. Fun. Holy Whispers Welcome Episode And, I guess, that leads in nicely to this blog post.  Let's finish this year STRONG! Saying yes to all the things that light our souls on FIRE! Even the things that terrify us! God gave us this opportunity, so let's make it count!  As my birthday approaches in a few weeks, it always gets me taking the temperature on where my life is at. We're almost 8 full months into 2025. What were your goals in January? What are the reasons you're proud of yourself right n...

Letting Go of the Rope

As I've been preparing my speech on Romans 8, God has been speaking to me in multiple ways. I'm sure much of this is because my ears are open to anything related to what I'm studying. But it's still comical to me how many different times Romans 8:5-6 has come up in the last few weeks. I mean, I guess it makes perfect sense - I have been asking God to show me exactly what He wants me to share. And, no surprise, He's been teaching me lots of lessons and challenging my faith muscles a LOT lately.  In life coaching, we talk a lot about "letting go of the rope" in the struggles of life. Every time I say this, I think back to my years at Hope College and their event called The Pull. Picture this: a small river in the middle, a bunch of freshman guys in giant trenches on one side, an equal number of sophomore guys in giant trenches on the other side, and a GIANT rope stretched across & being pulled on for HOURS. The winner is determined by literal inches. Thi...

Hard Fought Hallejuah

I'm sure you've probably heard this song by now. But...just case you haven't (or in case you'd like to listen again)...take a pause and watch the video before you keep reading. I resonate right now with all of the lyrics, but here's the part I want to talk about today:  "'Cause faith isn't proven like gold 'Til it's been through the fire, eh-eh  My head, heart, and hands are feeling heavy But that's when I lift them just a little higher" Yes! I feel this to my core right now! And this song has been a healing balm to my heart. Helping my "soul catch up with my song."  Praise God. The women's event I was preparing my Romans 8 talk for got cancelled due to low ticket sales. So, I'm going to be offering it as a free Zoom call sometime in May. I literally found out it was cancelled the day AFTER I finished my PowerPoint slides.  Welp. But here's the thing - God knew it was going to be cancelled. And He also knew I neede...
