Last weekend as Hurricane Irene was approaching the East Coast, I was in Washington, DC at a Women of Faith event.
My tickets for the event were provided by Book Sneeze and I am so appreciative of the opportunity for encouragement and refreshment that it provided.
I learned many, many lessons in my faith during the Women of Faith weekend. God taught me so much through the stories that were shared by the speakers.
But one of the greatest lessons was given to me as I simply observed.
We had amazing seats for the conference! They were located on the floor level of the conference center about six rows back from the stage. We were just a few rows behind and kind-of diagonal from the some of the speakers and performers.
One of my favorite hobbies that I don’t often admit to being a hobby is people-watching. I love watching people…their reactions, the way they interact with one another, their responses to certain things. I don’t watch to be critical but to simply observe.
Throughout the conference I was able to observe Sheila Walsh, Lisa Harper, Nicole Johnson, and Luci Swindoll. As I did so, I came away with a greater respect for all of them.
I saw them hug one another as they went up to speak.
I saw them dance as “Mary, Mary” performed.
I saw them cry and laugh together.
Many times we look at popular Christian authors and speakers and put them on a pedestal. They seem to be bigger than life and we see them as having attained a higher position in their faith.
As I was able to observe the Women of Faith team the thought struck me that they are no more special than you or I.
They didn’t seem to be “holier than thou”.
And, no, they haven’t necessarily attained a higher position in their faith.
They spoke from their heart and I could sense that they are truly living out the message that they are sharing.
They are simply women who are obediently living out God’s calling to share their story.
I want to be that kind of woman.
It is my desire to be a woman of faith who is obediently living out my calling and sharing my story….the story that God is writing in my life every moment of every day.
