Choose To Become
As always, me and my mom had a blast at Time Out For Women! It is so fun to just get away and be spiritually fed! As you can see this years theme was Choose To Become. They had amazing speakers and music! I always jot down notes, and I just can't help but share them with you.
Laurel Christensen - The Faith Experiment
- Pray with faith
- Think with faith
- Live with faith
"You must do the thing you think you cannot do" Eleanor Roosevelt.
We put too much faith in the outcome, not enough faith in Him.
I have always been on his Plan A for me!
Don't be the person that stands in your way!
Brad Wilcox - Savior & Redeemer
We often forget that we need to see Jesus Christ as our Savior AND Redeemer, which are two different things.
Savior = saves us
Redeemer = makes us better
Sacrifice means to make sacred.
Choose Christ = Choose Change
He chose to be like us, so we can choose to be like Him.
The "big bang" cannot love us like a big brother can.
A God that require nothing of us, is making nothing of us!
Maicy Robison - (musical presenter)
Sometimes life takes twists and turns we aren't planning. She says that having a mother heart is what's important, not necessarily giving birth. For example, she got married to her "Rusty Armor" who asked for a divorce 7 years into their marriage and right after her mom died at 49. She remarried later on a man who had adult children and spent their first Christmas at her new husbands, ex-wifes house to be together with his children. She has finally had 2 children of her own at a later age, but not before she was a 'mother' to many students.
Mary Ellen Edmunds - You Are REAL!
A seed turns out exactly like it should, just like we do.
No one can steal your identity or the fact that you are a child of God.
What's his no face = Satan
Prayer isn't about time, it's about purpose!
Linda Eyre & Shawni Eyre Pothier - Parenting with Holiness
Find one part of your day that you can focus on making more holy. Her example was a friend who had 7 children, the last being twins which meant buckling 4 children into car seat! She decided she would change her attitude about it and make it more holy by placing each child in their seat, buckling them, then looking directly into their eyes and saying I love you. Shawni chose the after dinner routine. She turned on music (and video taped the change).
1 - Remember who your children really are.
- Between husband and wife go through a run down about once a month to see where each of your children are in each of the following areas: physically, mentally, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.
2 - Remember who you are.
- Get away, even if it's to sit in your car.
- Involve yourself with other women.
3 - Remember who the Savior is.
D. Kelly Ogden - Be of Good Cheer
We are told at least 12 times in the scriptures to "be of good cheer."
You have every reason in this world to be happy!
We can have a bad day but still have a good life.
Happiness is a decision.
1 - Spirit of God brings happiness
2 - Happiness comes through others
3 - Serving missions
4 - Scriptures
5 - Temple
6 - Turn hearts to fathers
We are His heirs!
Matt Baldwin - The Problem with Conformity
God wants me to be an individual!
God loves you, not God love you IF!
Kris Belcher - Look Up
Focusing on the darkness will not lead to light.
When prayers aren't answered commend yourself to the Lord like the Jaredites and ask Him to touch your stones to make the light.
Efforts = consecrate to the Lord.
Complain to Heavenly Father, it's okay!
Look up to the light, not down to the dark.
Search for happiness in light.
Kris was beyond hilarious and with the last name Belcher, how can you not be! Here is part of her introduction!
Hilary Weeks - (musical presenter)
Pray for what is the most important thing each day.
She did a neat experiment with a clicker. For an entire week she clicked for every negative thought she had, but then she found herself down. So the next week she clicked for all the positive things and her numbers were off the charts. She found reasons to click and found blessings.
She just topped the Christian Billboard Charts and she sang this awesome song!
Here are 2 quick (and I mean quick) clips of her skits that had us laughing.
And not that she performed this, but this is my favorite (hilarious) performance by her!
