Swirling around in my mind are too many thoughts about the She Speaks conference that I attended this past weekend.
He graciously hears our heart, reveals dreams, ideas and suggestions that maybe we are ready and willing to hear, or possibly things that need to be pondered and mulled around for a bit.
I’m still in the mulling stage.
I’m ciphering through what the Lord desires vs. the lies that are being whispered.
But girlfriends, that is way too heavy of a topic to be flushed out right here. Now I must declare, “She Connects, She Ponders, She Can Not be on the computer ignoring her kids any more today.”
So as promised, I wanted to give you lovely ladies a chance to jump around and read everyone else’s story.
Even though I primarily stayed on the speaking track, one of the highlights of She Speaks was the intimate number of bloggers in attendance. Many of us “knew” each other on line and so the networking aspect was wonderful. Friday night, at our blogger meet and greet, it felt like I was coming home. I can’t tell you how reassuring it was to meet friends that really “got” this blogging side of me. We could talk “blogger-ese” together and I didn’t get an eye roll.
I could take pictures like a paparazzi with Dawn, the Nester, and Emily and it was considered common place.
For some odd reason, all those little things made for a sweet, sweet time of fellowship.
The thing I regret about my weekend, was that I was so busy chit chatting that I failed in my blogging photographer duties. I have NO pictures with any of my girlfriends, and that is just a shame. Hopefully, you all can help me out.
“To know God and make Him known” is my desire.
Sharing that heartbeat with the Proverbs 31 team is a privilege.
I leave you with this visual image of Saturday evening’s worship time.
We met Him!He was high and lifted up this weekend.
I know many of you have already posted your story. I can’t wait to read and vicariously live through your weekend experience.
I can't believe we didn't get to meet. I was in an (oh-so-traumatic) speaker evaluation group and by night's end was too exhausted to do the blogger reception. SO sorry I missed it, but I linked up anyway. 🙂
There surely are some pictures floating around on somebody's camera with some of us bloggers in it 🙂
I took some pictures that came out ok at the bloggers reception. I'll send those over to you — but I'll edit them first because I know you missed that session 😉
You know I wish I could have been there! Hopefully another time and place we'll all catch up again.
Hey! I kept hearing about your blog at the conference so I thought I'd drop by! I did the writer's track so I missed out of most of the bloggy stuff. If you get a minute, drop by my blog sometimes. I'll be checking back from time to time! Blessings to you!
I have ZERO pictures. Lame. But hanging out with you was awesome. Beautiful post.
I'm sure there are plenty of pics out there to share! At least that's what I'm counting on since my camera was hidden most of the weekend. I had a GREAT time chatting and getting to know you more! What fun!
It's so fun to see you guys with your cameras, taking the pictures we see on the blogs. 🙂
Sounds like an amazing time!!
Hey Jen!
Haven't been to your blog in a long time (too long)… I love it! How fun! so much to get around and see… I hope to visit and get inspired in the day-to-day "invisible woman" life we lead 🙂
Hi Jen!
What a wonderful time you all had! Oh how wonderful to have all those ladies there, on the same page and each seeking God's next direction for their lives. :o) I wish I could come along one day! :o)

Enjoyed reading about your pondering… I think we will all be examining our hearts for a while. It was a blessing to go to the conference. Excited about the new site and look forward to learning more.
I was in the prayer room most of the weekend. I had the best seat in the house without a doubt. I am technically handicapped and don't know how to make changes to my site. I am getting a new design and some tutoring. I hope to add many new She Speaks friends' sites as resources for my readers. I am not a blogger but have an internet ministry.
I so enjoyed the time we got to spend together. I wish it could have been more! Thanks for setting up this Mr.Linky– I hope more people find it and post links as I want to read everyone's!
I only got to meet you for a few minutes at lunch on Friday, but I could see how you shown for our Lord.
Maybe next year I'll actually get to talk with you.;-)
Ug, I couldn't think straight if I tried right now! What an incredible weekend! I was so completely blessed! I didn't want to scare off my non-believer readers, so I put my part one tale on my OTHER blog, Random Acts of Charlie. But I have a link on the shrinking site, so I promise I'm not hiding my Jesus under a bushel. Anyhoo, someone got a great picture of my speaker eval group praying, and it is the most tender picture. I love it!!! Hope everyone met Jesus like I did, and was filled to the measure!
Great idea, Jen! Loved hanging out with you!!
Susan aka Runner Mom has lots of pics up already and there are more to come… http://scrunnermom.blogspot.com/
I've been blogging my experiences all week, but didn't take a single pic either…my camera held down the table in the hotel room all weekend.
