Influence Conference


 Have ya’ll heard about the Influence Conference?  The event in Indianapolis where lots of ladies will be getting together to learn about the best way to use their very own influence to encourage, to inspire and to transform.  
  Guess who's going……ME!
I have been wrestling for weeks with this decision.  Mostly stressing about the money.  Do I really want to go enough to spend that much money?  Is my blog and writing career really in the place where I feel okay about investing in it? 
I’ve been talking it out with Jason, my mom, the Lord and mulling over the logistic of it all.  I am so excited because this week I realized I REALLY WANT TO GO and I’m letting that be enough.
I was feeling like my life and my writing wasn’t in the place where it would be considered a solid investment.  But I’m going anyway.  I’m going to connect with women, learn to make much of Jesus and hopefully encourage a lady or two. 
Jason and I are still going to have to work out the details (and the finances) but with a little extra budget stretching from me and a few miracles from Above, I think we are going to be able to pull it off.
