You Are Invited to the “Living a Legacy” Conference

I am SO EXCITED to join my best real life friends Kathy Brodock, of Teaching Good Things and Robin White, of Celebrating Motherhood Everyday in announcing the Living a Legacy Conference to be held on May 5-6, 2012, in Branchville, Alabama!!!

Kathy, Robin and I have talked about hosting a blog conference for the last few years but the timing never worked out…until now! Will you make plans to join us?

As Christian women our purpose is to live a life that will bring glory to God and pass that legacy on to the next generation. We are seeing a new awareness of the importance of home in the church and society , the return of women to build that home, kindled by a passion for loving Christ and transmitting that love to the next generation, and we are thrilled to join in that reformation!

We want to hold up the arms of women everywhere, encourage them in the trenches of ”my-life-for-yours” living, and give them a renewed commitment to forsake what the world esteems and embrace a life-work that will last for eternity!

• The conference will include eight sessions, complete with question and answer time on  Saturday.

• Come be encouraged and equipped to pass on a lasting legacy for God’s glory.

• There will be wonderful legacy-building resources given away all day long and lots of ‘girlie treats’!

• Lunch and supper are included in the registration fee.

• You won’t want to miss the vendor area, featuring different home industries, books and products. If you would like to be a vendor email me for more information!

• We are honored to have a very special guest speaker, Sherry Lee, the widow of Tom Lee, and the mother of 13 children.  Sherry is well known for her kind and gentle spirit, and  is truly a mother whose children rise up and call her blessed.  The Lord took Tom’s life and their home during the Alabama Tornado in April of 2011. Sherry and the children are truly living out Tom’s legacy to the glory of God.

• Four of our daughters will share how they are carrying on their family’s legacy for God’s glory.

Drum Roll Please for the VF Winners!

So many entries and so few winners! I literally get butterflies in my stomach every time I pick winners for a contest like this. Silly, maybe, but I so want everyone to win….so, I always just pray before the contest and specifically ask the Lord to order the “random numbers” according to His will, that the recipient may be blessed in perfect Providence.

(For the record, because there were 3 prizes and different criteria for the first prize, the drawing was quite complicated and took me over an hour to ensure statistical integrity and accuracy in the odds )

I did no less for this contest and am pleased to announce the three winners of the $300, $200 and $100 gift certificates to Vision Forum!

The winner of the $100 GC is: Anastasia!

The winner of the $200 GC is: Genieve from A Lily Slowly Blooming!

AND….the winner of the $300 GC is: Crystal from A Well-Feathered Nest!

Congratulations!!! If you ladies can email me your mailing addresses through my contact form that would be most helpful.

I am so thrilled for you three and pray the Lord uses theses resources to bless you and whomever else they touch!
