All I can say is that GOD is Amazing!
How do I describe this weekend effectively? God was there...He was so close, I saw Him, I felt Him, I LOVE Him!! She Speaks was truly an Oasis from the business of life- a time of refreshment and peace but also a time where I was challenged and inspired.
I shed so many stinkin' tears this weekend...many might have thought (surely she is UNstable in all her ways) BUT they were good tears! :) God spoke to me in so many ways.
From the little things like when I prayed "Lord, help me to find the sweet girl who bought me my White Chocolate Mocha from Starbucks (mmmm, I can still taste it) so I could pay her back." I walked out into the hall and there she was! And by the way, she would not accept my money! Now how about that?!
To the time I walked into the prayer room with a bit of a proud heart - more out of curiosity than anything and left wiping my eyes after being humbled and so blessed.
Or the time when I walked up to the cross to lay down my doubts along with many of my dear sisters in Christ - and just wept when a total stranger (now friend) asked if she could pray for me. (there is a reoccuring theme here...do you see it?!) :)
And even on the way home when I thought for sure we had some sort of mad man on our plane with evil intents - God was there! Now granted I was completely exhausted but I truly feared we might not make it home. Never in my life have I seen anything stranger (on a plane) than what happened last night!
I plan to expound on these stories in the next few days but have to do it in installments or this post would go on WAY too long!! :)
I want to savor everything I learned and felt at She Speaks. I am also ready to step out and knock on some doors as I truly feel like God has given me confirmation that I am to speak His words to women and or young girls. I'm not in a hurry but I'm also willing and available for what Christ has for my life! Praise Him!!
I met so many AMAZING women this weekend - here's a few shots of some of them. I'll post more later!

I'm so glad I found your blog. You have a lovely heart and writing style
Sounds like you had a very meaningful experience. I hope you are able to use that to do what you feel is God's calling for your life!
It was SO great to see you yesterday!!!! I am thankful I got to hear some of these stories in person!
Looking forward to hearing about the crazy man on the plane, I am assuming it was on your Atlanta-Illinois flight.
Love you!
ok. now i'm glad i didn't go. i do not need another day full of tears;)lol
seriously, i love those moments when God is so "there" you can almost taste His presence.
I'm looking forward to hearing more....I was thinking of you all all weekend!
Hi Jamie! It was so good to meet you and traveling back to your blog today it was "oh, I do know Jamie!!" You are a beautiful young lady. Keep alive in the spirit you came home in!
I'll be back!!

Hi Jami,
I jumped over from someone else's blog. I am glad that I did.
I can tell that you and the other ladies had a great time with God this past weekend. The only thing that I really hate is that I am so close to Charlotte (actually right now, I AM in Charlotte at work) that I could have met you wonderful ladies.
I will be back... I want to hear more. Lynn
A beautiful experience. I'm trying to sort through it so that I can post coherently about it...
