On Saturday, I (and several hundred of my closest friends!) attended an annual Women's Conference near a neighboring community. The theme was "Take Hold: Let Go! Move Forward! Live Bold". The all day event had as its main guest speaker well-known author Sharon Jaynes.
Today I am sharing a handful of her bullet points from the day's event:
* Let go of our feelings. Take hold of our True Identity.
* We may not feel enough; God says, 'I am!'
* Spot your NOT; Swat that NOT.
* God looks for people who will obey!
* We say, "NO WAY!" God says, "Yah-Weh (Yeah, Way!; Hebrews name for God!)"
* God says He can 'use whatever happens to us' (Romans 8:28). Don't ask God to remove those things; He will 'repurpose' them.
* Our past shapes us......then God sends us!
* Everyone has a story; our stories can be used by God.
* Only God can change our stumbling blocks into stepping stones.
* God isn't interested in making us comfortable. He uses life's situations to make us comfort-ABLE!
* Never compare ourselves with others. Comparison kills our 'calling'.
