Stormie Omartian, Thelma Wells, Angela Thomas, Mandisa, & other fabulous people…

Highlights from the Extraordinary Women’s Confernece:

Oh! Look how cute we are….

It’s Mary, Gabby, Cyndy, me, and Susan (Forever His). Ignore my hair. Unless you are familiar with Louisiana humidity then you can’t truly appreciate “frizzy” hair. After I carefully straightened and styled it still had to go up. We had even more frizz on the this day because it was storming… just like it has been for the past couple of weeks.

We got to sit really close on both days. That made me happy!

Susan got to sit really close to Thelma Wells. I love that lady. I wanted to take her home with me. Mama don’t play no games. She is a no nonsense kind of gal. I appreciate that.

Thelma said, “Stay true. Stay real. There is freedom in reality. Besides that, in reality your expectations aren’t that high.”

She also said, “All of our choices should go through one filter; the filter of the Holy Spirit.”

Mandisa had me crying, laughing, dancing, and shoutin’ “Amen” over and over again. That girl can sing and what a testimony she has!

Then… then… they started playing “Shackles.” Susan nearly knocked me over to get out of the seats and into the aisle. Then I had to duck and dip every other move to avoid the swatting of my nose and possible decapitation from her violently swinging arms. Somehow saying that she likes to dance seems very inadequate. We all survived though.

Stormie Omartian was awesome too. I bought three of her latest books – “The Power of Praying” ones that I didn’t have.
