Oh my gosh, you are cracking me up because I felt so stinky the whole time!! I totally understand!!

And I have discovered this year that quiet time indeed makes all the difference. It is FREE and it is better than Prozac. The days I miss - which lately, have been a lot - go so much more hectic-ly. Prayers that you will stay committed!

What, no pictures of the shopping trip??

I can so relate to everything you wrote. YOU KNOW THAT, of course. It was delightful chatting with you. My stomach was flip-flopping too. I share your heart for blogging, and I also came away convicted that I need to make a quiet time a priority.

Luv ya, sistah!

Dear Lisa, I just loved reading your heart here and getting to know you better yesterday during our shopping session. YOU are beautiful and it was such fun to pick out clothes for you and watch you come alive…your husband adores you and it was amazing watching his loving eyes on you as you put on clothes you never would have picked for yourself and see you glow…and girl, you don’t need new clothes to glow, you do that all on your own…but sometimes we just need some re-packaging to make us feel a little more confident. I hope I did that for you and I was extremely blessed to be with you. I hope you’ll post pics of the new you…can’t wait to see what God whispers to your heart this week…He thinks you’re beautiful exactly as you are…inside AND out…and thank you always for offering help to me for my pitiful blogging! love you, Shari

Oh, and I wanted to add– two years ago when I went to She Speaks, my biggest takeaway value was that I needed to reinstitute my daily quiet time and really make it a priority instead of just talking about it. This was HUGE for me that year– so, you aren’t the only one God speaks that to through the venue of She Speaks.

Sweet Lisa…
It was a joy to meet you. And do you know what I did when I left the reception… sighed, reapplied deodrant, and went to my next meeting.

You are not alone sweet sister.

And your insights about the necessity of having a quiet time is right on.

Wow that room of bloggers was overwhelming huh? And I thought I was an extrovert. I really am, but I grew to be that from being a shy child. I felt much more like that shy child that day. It was overwhelming.

I too could tell that you had more behind your eyes than you were showing to everyone. That is sooo natural. I would love to hear more of your thoughts on how I can use my blog to minister in fact I have some questions I’d like to run by you if you’d be willing could I email you or give you a call?? Let me know! Thanks

I think it is natural to feel overwhelmed by such a crowd of ladies…I know I was! I too was content to watch everything that unfolded around me. It takes a lot of energy to interact and share. I did some of that too, but as the weekend went on and I was sooo tired, I just watched. It gave me a sense of peace. It’s hard to hear God’s voice in the midst of a lot of noise! I giggled at your deo comment, I have a similarly politically incorrect thought: the only quiet I felt was when I was using the restroom! They had that lovely Musak and I was alone…
Blessing to you!

I wish I could have went…but I can relate to what you are saying…I too tend to be an introvert in a group. To others, I may seem bored or distracted, but in reality, I am just trying to figure out how to fit in. And quiet time…I’m lacking there as well…I struggle with that a lot!
