West Texas Girls Conference

I know, I know it has been a long time since I have last blogged. Looking over the last few I have realized this is a reoccurring theme. I guess I just need to get better at this. It will be one of my New Year's Resolutions this upcoming year.

Life has been good and a lot has been going on. I will blog over the next couple of days letting you know all the new things that have happened. To begin with at the beginning of November I coordinated a West Texas Girls Conference at my church. It was amazing. We had over 600 girls and sponsors attend. The theme this year was The Simple Life: How to be Marys in a World Full of Marthas. We studied how Mary and Martha both approached Jesus, Mary who sat at Jesus' feet while Martha was distracted by other things. We tried to stress to the girls that in this world there are so many things to do and be involved in, but Jesus tells us that their is only one thing that is needed. That one thing is taking the time to sit at the feet of Jesus, just spending time in His presence.

This was an amazing weekend, where the girls got to hear from an amazing keynote speaker. The had 8 different classes to choose to attend. There was a Fashion Show - What Not to Wear and a huge slumber party to end the day with. It was an amazing and powerful weekend. The Lord spoke mightily to many girls that weekend and I hope will continue to remind them of what they learned.

We are planning to make this conference a yearly event, so please be in prayer that it will continue to glorify God and to challenge young women to be godly. Thanks for all who helped make this event possible, without you it would not have been such a great weekend.
