Just a few days after my husbands death, I began journaling again. It was like healing salve to my broken heart. I began to feel God calling me to something new and different. I first learned of the She Speaks Conference through the Proverbs 31 magazine. I read about it and thought to myself, that would be fun and boy, could that open some doors for me. But, being a single mommy, I wasn't sure I could take the time away or spend the money, especially on myself.
God has been slowing mending my heart and I'm closer to Him through this nightmare than I ever thought possible. I've been looking for "signs" and open doors that clearly show me what my next step should be. I just spoke this past weekend at church on Living a Legacy Worth Leaving. It felt natural and "right" for me. I feel like God is calling me to teach to a different age group, something bigger than the preschool crowd I currently serve. I came home that evening and got an e-mail from A Widow's Might that linked to She Speaks and a scholarship opportunity. I felt as if God was speaking directly to me in that moment. The opportunity to win a scholarship to this incredible training would mean the world to me and my 2 children. I am so eager to share my story, offer hope, and lead others out the the dark valleys to His light. Whether I'm chosen or not, I'm blessed. I know that everything is according to God's plan, but I would truly love the opportunity to meet with other gifted writers and speakers who love God as much as I do. I'd love to show my children that when you step out in faith, God will always meet you there. Here's to new dreams...
