Women of Faith Conference

Had a great time at the Women of Faith Conference in Washington DC. Nicki went as our driver for the weekend and did a great job.

I really enjoyed all of the speakers and especially enjoyed the music. Our favorite had to be Mandisa. The girl rocked the stage this weekend.

We were humbled by the presence of Steven Curtis Chapman. At the end of his time with us he sang the Cinderella song.

One of the first songs I ever sung solo after graduating from high school was a song that Sandi Patty did. I am still amazed at the range that gal can reach with her voice. Friday morning I got to see her up close. The last song she sung still gives me goosebumps!

It was fun yet slightly weird to see and hear Lisa Welchel from the Facts of Life. I still think of her as Blair. LOL

We heard an inspiring message from several men (yes, there were men at the conference). Including the President of World Vision Rich Stearns.

My favorite speaker hands down was Patsy Clairmont. That little lady kept me in stitches. But her story about a friend who died from cancer cut close to home because of my friend Gail.

Each lady who went to the event was touched in some way by at least one or more of the speakers. Sheila Walsh story of struggle and triumph captured my attention, so much so that I picked up her latest book "Let Go" to read.

We enjoyed the conference so much we are already booked for 2010! Apparently we were not alone because over 1300 women had already signed up before the end of the conference.
