Thrive Conference 2017

So you may have seen my most recent post (before this one) of how I describe my introversion (is this a word sister?) and after having gone to the Thrive Women's conference in my back yard (literally!) I want to change that. The theme was audacious love, and audacious means to be bold and daring and I'm going to try very hard to not be so shy and quiet. I know that this won't change overnight, but I'm just so inspired, by my girl Lysa T (it's Terkherust, but that is so hard to spell, so whenever you see Lysa T you know who I'm talking about). I feel like God speaks to me through Lysa. She is going through a rough patch with her marriage and she was speaking from Genesis (and I was like "Really Lysa, Genesis-that's one of those every Easter, every Christmas kind of messages that most people know about, but she really talked about how that devil is so slithery and likes to bring us down and I'm starting to realize that this is very true for myself. I tend to be very hard on myself. I just started a new job and its been a rough transition. I need to listen to the Lord telling me that I am doing just fine and not listen to Satan telling me lies.

So I'm going to start telling Satan to just leave me alone.... outloud. I'll keep you updated. If Lysa's messages from this weekend make it onto youtube, I'll be sure to post them.

I was just realizing too how emotional I get right after the speaker issues a challenge at the end of their message and the bad comes out to play and then the speaker gets emotional and that sets me off EVERY SINGLE TIME, since I was a kid this has happened. And it still happens today. I think its the Holy Spirit truly convicting me. I used t think it was annoying, and would try to not cry, but now I'm just like "leave me a lone satan and let me cry!". And just a note to bring kleenex to the next one Kristin! LOL!

Hope you all have a beautiful rest of the weekend and let's have a great week! 

PS How crazy is it that Lysa T was in my hometown (and this is her second time in three years!!!) We're meant to be besties. My friend Lori and I saw her get in her get away car, and I wanted to say something or shake her hand, but I was too nervous. Of course! when she just said to be audacious, I couldn't do it. See-this might take a little time to put into practice! LOL!
