This weekend was A-MAZING! Pink Impact is a women's conference put on every year by our church... Gateway Church in Southlake!The theme of this year's conference was "and then..."
"In every life story, there are moments when the sky of our situation grows dark, ominous clouds of despair roll in, calamity appears certain and then God steps onto the stage of our story, the potential outcome is altered, the conclusion is changed, a new chapter begins. Throughout the ages, women have waited with anticipation for God to enter the arena of their circumstances. Today, the story continues.. the plot thickens… and we eagerly await our next “God-moment” to unfold."
The conference started Thursday night with a welcome party, then we began by worshiping with Kari Jobe who is such an amazing artist and worship leader. She is one of the associate worship pastors at our church and also just released a new album, self-titled Kari Jobe. This CD is being sold nationally and she has traveled internationally to share the gospel and the love of God through music. She is truly anointed and has such a beautiful heart to serve God, so needless to say worshiping with her is always absolutely incredible.
Click on Kari Jobe to get more info or to listen to some of her songs. Her music has been such a blessing to Kyle and me both! I encourage everyone who enjoys peaceful and uplifting music to grab one of her CD's!Also on Thursday night we had the pleasure of listening to a message from our Senior Pastor, Robert Morris, who never fails to deliver something powerful and straight from the heart of God.
On Friday, we were so priveleged to have Marilyn Hickey speak at the church! This woman walks with such authority and had a great deal of wisdom to share through her message. It was truly a blessing to have her... wherever she is, His presence is also!
Friday evening we worshiped with Miriam Webster of Hillsong Church in Sydney, Australia; yet another amazingly talented worship artist whose voice and energy I am positive touched the heart of every woman in the room as we praised God together!
Next up, Holly Wagner was with us Friday evening as well as Saturday morning. Holly Wagner has a women's ministry in CA called "God Chicks". She had such an incredible amount of energy as she spoke about fighting the fight as women of God and standing strong in our faith. Her words were so full of life and she was a true inspiration!
I ended this experience on Saturday for lunch at McAllisters with my good friend, Lucy! We chatted the afternoon away over a couple of "spud ole's" (humungo "Texas-sized" baked potatoes smothered in chilli, cheese, red onion and jalepeno)... mmmm, gotta love McAllisters! We of course solved all the problems of the world over lunch... like us women always do ;o) Lucy, Heaven and I... Pink Impact Day 2
Again, I'll say this weekend was AMAZING! I definitely walked out of the conference feeling empowered and knowing the authority I have in Christ over the situations in my life! This was my first Pink Impact and I can say for sure that I'll be attending again in the future! The next one is in April 2010 and you can get details about the conference by clicking right here! So all you ladies in my life who don't live near, start planning your trip now!! :o)
