Well, now I'm inspired to do another post on my trip to the True Woman's Conference in Indianapolis, even though this was about half a year ago. I took in every moment of this trip and definately did not take anything for granted! The night before we left, I was so nervous about leaving the family at home. A lot of it was fear. I prayed that night, that if it was God's will for me to go that He would take my fear away and give me peace about it. I woke up early the next morning so calm and relaxed; not hesitating another moment about going! Only God could have done this in my heart at that point! I drove up with 4 other ladies and actually got to know them! We became such good friends during this bonding time! They also ended up being my room mates when we got there! I was so comfortable with them and just really enjoyed every moment!

Though I spent most my time with my roomates as we went to the classes and meetings.. We also had the priviledge of visiting with other ladies from church a few times. My friend Margaret was one and I love having her around too! She too is one of those people whom you can just be yourself with and chat about almost anything. I share these things because I am very grateful for the people God has brought into my life!
We spent most our time in classes and meetings! Heard a lot of helpful things which I want to keep applying! The prayer meetings is what really stuck with me!
First of all I have to say, Maria got a lot more meat in her sandwich then I did, and I think maybe everyone did! I didn't go look at all the (6000 and some, I think) sanwiches but did see Maria's and I do have one regret! I should have taken some of hers! :) Either way I still liked my lunch. I was very thankful for how the food was all provided. We even got to go to this snack room in the Motel when ever we wanted to eat and they had all kinds of stuff there!
I will end this post with gratitude! I am so thankful for how the Lord worked out every moment and provided everything! In saying so I think it's time to go back to my notes I took there to refresh my memory of what God taught me! There was so much, it was at times overwhelming and I think to keep applying these things is always a challenge!
Colossians 2:6-7
"As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, [so] walk ye in him: . Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving."
Psalm 30:11-12
"Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness; That [my] soul may sing praise to Thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to Thee forever. "
