Women of Faith Conference

     Last Thursday, I received a call from the office, where we are staying, letting me know a church in the area had tickets to a Women of Faith event starting on Friday in Tampa Bay. My initial response was not to take them up on their offer of free tickets. I didn't know anybody. I would be gone for a few days from the family. I didn't feel like extending myself...well you get the picture. Anyway, I decided to call the church and make the effort to go. I had no idea what a Women of Faith event was or even if it was something I would enjoy. I wasn't expecting much and I thought it was going to be a fluffy, entertaining-rather-than-challenging event.   I was so thankful I had taken this church up on their offer of a ticket, to take the chance to meet other women, to be at an event were God was so clearly honoured in all that was done. In the end I learned risk is worth it and you may never know what will happen when you decide to go out of your comfort zone! I met a women, who is a Florida native (quite rare). She and her husband own a boat and they want to take our family out on the Gulf sometime when the weather warms up.(We are in a cool snap for Florida). We decided to go to this church church on Sunday, and it looks like this will be a place where will belong for a few months;  place where the kids are involved in youth group and Awana; and a place to meet new people and make connections.

It is hard to pick one thing from the entire weekend, but I believe the singing was what I enjoyed the most.

Anyone who is interested to find out more about Women of Faith or when an event will be in their area can go their website. (www.womenoffaith.com)  It would be worth the investment of time and money. I promise  that you will walk away being refreshed and not disappointed.
