It's time to come out of hiding!

I know that there are many people reading the blog but who may have never introduced themselves. So, if you don't mind coming out of hiding... I'd like to know who my readers are! This year one of my goals was to use this blog for the glory of the Lord. I'm looking forward to the many thoughts I'll be sharing with you in '09. Also, I'd like to know what you think of the blog... any questions you'd like to ask or see on the blog? Thanks!

Weekend in Columbus, GA

Last weekend was spent with 500 families who came from Montana, Texas, Virginia, New Jersey and all over the states to gather together for Christians at the Crossroads Conference with the Botkin family. They covered many topics from: What Is The Home? - What Is The Church? - Brothers And Sisters - Understanding "Patriarchy" - Family Dynamics With Adult Children - Courtship and Marriage For Serious Families - What It Means To Honor Our Parents- Dominion Oriented Femininity - The Difference Between A Playground And A Battlefield And Why Young Men Must Live For Spiritual Warfare - How You Can Have Hope for the Future - How To Watch a Movie With Your Family (and use the occasion as a life-changing discipleship opportunity)

Notes from: Honoring Your Parents
*We honor our parents whether they deserve it or not.
*Serve by loving them
*Praise them in private and public
*Bless them with kind words; don't despise your parents
*Share interests, even if you aren't interested

I really enjoyed Anna and Elizabeth's talk on:
Ten Attributes of a Young Dominion Woman.

A few things that I came away with were:

*Be more invested in my family
*Embrace a hard life
*A dominion woman strengthens her arms and trains her mind
* A dominion woman understands the times: we need to look around for opportunities to serve our families, church, and community.
