Joe and I arrived home today from a bivocational pastors and wives conference. I had the privilege once again to hear Mrs. Jeanne Davis speak. During the ladies first session with her, she spoke on the topic "Learning to Laugh at Yourself". We laughed so hard our faces hurt. Proverbs 17: 22a says, A merry heart doeth good like a medicine...".
During our last session today, she spoke to the ministers' wives on the topic "It's OK to be Me". Sometimes as women we think our lives would be perfect if we were like __________, were married to _________, or if only our children were more like __________'s children, but in reality if those statements were true our lives would still not be perfect. What a valuable lesson that is to learn. It is OK to be you! Whether your a minister's wife, a homemaker, a Sunday school teacher, or CEO it's OK to be you. It's OK to be the lady God made you to be. God has a purpose and a plan for each of our lives individually.
I came back home refreshed. Mrs. Jeanne is always an encouragement to my heart. It is evident that God has His hand on her life. I want the ladies of our church to have the same opportunity to hear her as I have been blessed to have, so I have invited her to speak at our Mothers & Others Breakfast in May. I look forward to sharing her with our ladies. They will come away blessed, refreshed, and more than likely laughing. I can't wait until May. I am so excited about what the Lord has in store for us! I hope all of you are making preparations to come and bring a couple of ladies with you!
