true woman

 

Whew! Last week was crazy! Mostly good....but just plain loco (spanish for crazy...just fyi). Last Tuesday and Wednesday my family and I were looking at a few colleges and then Thursday thru Sat afternoon my mom, sister, and I were gone to a women's conference. The women's conference was fantastic! Here is a brief overview of my trip:

 

 

The women's conference was called True Woman and it was full to the rim of wonderful speakers such as Janet Parshall, Mary Kassian, Nancy Leigh DeMoss, and (my personal favorite) Pricilla Shire. The music was done by the Gettys and was of course absolute perfection!



 

Our trip also consisted of staying in a fancy hotel in downtown Indianapolis

 

Taking walks and exploring

 

Purchasing bags made by women in India who were rescued from human trafficking (I'm all for supporting that cause!!!)

 

 

And visiting Cracker Barrel to get some much needed candy and to play with toys. :)

The True Woman conference was such a blessing and a breath of fresh air. I know every single one of the 8,000 women who were there were convicted and touched in some way that weekend.

I just want to take the time now to encourage you girls to be involved in some sort of Bible or book study. Right now some girls in my church are going through "Girls gone Wise in a World Gone Wild" by Mary Kassian and I absolutely love it. It is one of the best books I have read on how to be a Godly woman. It is super easy to understand yet extremely convicting....no matter how good of girl you think you might be. Look it up here! You can totally read it on your own, but I highly recommend that you go through it with a group of girls. There is a study guide, leader questions, and videos that you can purchase for that purpose!

I also recommend any Bible studies and books that Pricilla Shire does. She is such a powerful speaker and writer. She makes it so easy to understand and she is so relatable! Another thing I really like about her book studies is how you watch a video of her speaking before going through and discussing the book. It just helps me understand so much better! The next book study that the girls in my church are going to go through is "Jonah: Navigating a Life Interrupted". Here is a promo video of it....it looks super good!!!



And now to end this post....I don't know whether you have heard of the Gettys or not......but if you haven't......you should totally check them out. They are modern day hymn writers that have written several songs which I'm sure you know! Songs like "In Christ Alone", "O Church Arise", "Across the Land", and "Speak O Lord". Oh, and did I mention that they are Irish? That makes them even more awesome. ;) Here is a song I randomly picked to show you all. I literally closed my eyes and pointed at my computer screen to pick because I seriously love them all. haha enjoy!
