I took my neighbor, who had also moved home and it was a great time for us to reconnect! This was an amazing God filled weekend! I got to listen to Patsy Clairmont, Andy Andrews, Selah, Sandi Patty, Mandisa, Brenda Warner and many more!
Our seats we up close and personal! It was great! We sat in front of the hearing impaired section and watching the sign language ladies was beautiful! They were really worshipping God through their gift!
I had never seen Sandi Patty (honestly didn't know who she was) or Selah perform, and let me tell you that is something to do in your lifetime!!! And of course there were the speakers!!!
Patsy Clairmont had to be my favorite, she was hilarious, encouraging, honest, and really spoke with compassion and love! She reminded me of a real life Maxine! (She now has bright red hair so maybe that was part of it!)
Then there was Andy Andrews!!! Talk about a crazy ADD person full of energy! I had read The Final Summit, but had never really heard of Andy Andrews. I am now looking forward to reading all his books! He was this little "puppy" running around the stage and was amazing to listen to!
Brenda Warner... Where do you start? What an amazing story of strength and trust in God! I am looking forward to reading her book, One Call Away.
And the best part of the conference was the emphasis on sponsoring a child through World Vision. There were so many children that got sponsored that weekend, my neighbor adopted 1 there with another in the plans! :) It was great to see everyone not just enjoying their time, but getting the chance to change a life in not only the child they sponsored, but the entire village!
I am hoping that I get the chance to go to another conference in the future.
I had taken pictures, but my phone is not emailing them to me... :( Sorry!!! They were tweeted, so if you want to check them out, I am sure you can go back and follow us on twitter @gandybugs... :)
*I recieved two tickets from BookSneeze for my honest opinion that is all*
