Time Out for Women

Time Out for Women was yesterday and the night before.  This year I went with my Mom, Christy, Melanie, and Tina.  We missed not having Erica there, but she just lives a little too far away to make it work.  Since Melanie lives in Gilbert now, we all stayed with her and didn't have to get a hotel.  And we stayed up way too late, of course.

I thought all the music and the speakers were great.  The overall theme was "Higher."  On Friday night, Hilary Weeks did the music (and also talked about the power of kind words) and the speakers were Brad Wilcox (spoke about conversion and improving ourselves) and Sheri Dew (who spoke about something really awesome, but I can't remember what!  Someone help remind me...).  On Saturday, Mercy River did the music and the speakers were Mary Ellen Edmunds (spoke about our thoughts and changing them), Sandra Turley (spoke about our ability and desire to create), Richie Norton (spoke about being our authentic selves), Michael Wilcox (spoke about different kinds of prayer), and Laurel Christensen Day (spoke about overcoming our fears). 

It was a great weekend and I had a lot of fun!

Oh, and in that room of 5500 women, I ended up sitting right in front of my best friend from high school, Rebecca (Baldwin) Norton.  We were able to talk and catch up during the breaks and it was so fun to see her!
