Deeper Still

This weekend I had the great privilege of attending a women's Bible conference. It was called "Deeper Still" and is produced by Life Way. The speakers were Priscilla Shirer, Kay Arthur, and Beth Moore. It was without a doubt the best conference I have ever attended. In a word it was perfect. The teaching kept me on the edge of my seat. Each lady presented God's word with power. Each teacher represented different ages and stages of Life. Priscilla is 30 with 3 young boys at home. Beth is 50 with grown children who have their own families now. Kay is 70 and full of energy and grace that can only be admired. I traveled to Oklahoma to see these women. It was worth every minute of the drive. I seriously debated going. This was our big weekend to open the new church. I am so glad I went. It absolutely recharged and inspired me. Forgive the grainy pictures. They are taken in a stadium from way back on my little camera. These ladies discussed absolutely everything. Here are just a few topics-marriage, motherhood, politics, freedom of speech, discernment, Christmas, aging, twitter, and more. They were funny and they were real. It is so cool to sit in a stadium with 10,000 other women and hear the ruffle of pages as they turn their bibles. Also the uncommon still and attention of these ladies. You could hear a pin drop as the ladies spoke. That is something for such a large group of people.

It was a pleasure to travel with Dawn and Heidi. We chatted and listened to Christmas Cd's as we drove. I could not have asked for any other sweeter women to spend this time with. God is soooooo good. I pray all I have learned will stick to me like glue.
