A few months ago, I heard that BookSneeze was accepting applications from bloggers to blog for Women of Faith.
I applied, thinking . . . . “Y’know, I really should explore the spiritual aspects of this slob-thing, and this might be a good way to start doing that.”
I never heard from them, and assumed that I had been rejected. And perhaps . . . . I was a little relieved. If you’re a regular reader, you know that my faith is very important to me. I’ve touched on it many times, but to truly explore it in regards to this slob-problem I constantly struggle with?
That might eliminate more excuses than I’m ready to eliminate.
I mean, this blog is all about speaking the truth and keeping myself accountable . . . but bringing God into it takes things to a brand new level.
I’m working to understand the unique-ness of my slob-brain, but He already knows every one of its quirks.
Well, about a week ago, I got two tickets in the mail with my name printed on them. I was a little confused, as that was what the Women of Faith bloggers were supposed to get.
I sent a few emails and found out that I had been accepted, and that yes . . . I was going to Women of Faith.
So now, the thing I thought I could ignore for a while longer . . . is no longer ignorable.
We’ll see where this goes.
Have any of you ever been to a Women of Faith event? I never have, and am very curious to see what it is all about. I’ll report back here next week.
I was provided with two tickets to the DFW Over the Top Women of Faith event by BookSneeze and Women of Faith. I’m taking my mom with me. And just for the record, as a germaphobe, it is difficult to type “BookSneeze” but I’m still very grateful.
I have been to four Women of Faith conferences. Two in St. Louis and two national conferences in San Antonio. What I love about the conferences is there is something for everyone. Not every speakers or recording artist will “move” you, but when you find one that does….you will have tears in your eyes and know that is why you were suppose to go to that conference. Have a great time – you’ll love it.
Years ago I went to one of the very first Women of Faith Conferences. It was absolutely wonderful. I was blessed by my best friend who took me – treated me to this event. It was the best present I could have ever received. You’ll have the most blessed time ever…
I know it is hard to explore, I’ve thought about the same thing with weight. What are the spiritual implications of hiding behind weight or turning to food for comfort instead of The Great Comforter? I can’t wait to hear your unique perspective on this (are my slob tendencies and my over weight tendencies some how connected?) and see where it goes! Thank you so much for all you do!
How exciting!! I have been reading Jon Acuff’s (stuffchrsitianslike) twitter updates about WoF. I think it’s going to be wonderful. Enjoy yourself!! And enjoy DFW; I love that city. 🙂

I’ve been to one years ago and have been dying to go back ever since. The speakers were incredible, and to see all of the women of different faiths and backgrounds in the audience was amazing!
The women in my family used to go together every year. It was awesome. I haven’t been in a couple years due to crazy kids schedules, but would definitely go again.
I went to the Imagine Women of Faith event last weekend in Indianapolis and it was AMAZING! I went by myself because I needed a time of renewal and the women were beyond words in how they shared their brokenness…you will see different speakers than I did but I am sure it will just as great!
I’m so happy for you, but I’m also proud of you. 2 years ago(almost), the slob brain was a (pardon the pun) dirty little secret. You’ve grown so much. I’m so happy to be a witness to a rising star who is shining a light onto an area we as women(or men) would rather avoid. You are truly taking your light into the darkness and so many women, myself included, are so much better for it. Thank you for inviting us along on your journey.
I went a while back and loved it! What I loved was singing praise songs with a stadium full of women….it was moving!
How exciting!! I went to Women of Faith a few years ago and loved it! They are coming here to KC in a couple of months but I won’t be able to go this year. Some of the ladies from our church are going and they are very excited about it! There are so many different people involved. You will laugh, cry, sing, and just enjoy the complete experience! I can’t wait to hear how you felt about it!
