Woman of Faith 2015

Sometimes I have such high expectations for things, especially when previous experiences have proved to be incredible that I set myself up for disappointment. Last year I experienced the Woman of Faith tour for the first time and was completely blow away. It is was powerful and I remember coming home just on fire for the Lord.

It was so incredible that I bought tickets while I was at the conference for the next year... knowing that I was pregnant and would have a 4 month old. I didn't care though because the thought of missing out on it was not an option.

Fast forward to this year..... I have been beyond excited. I couldn't wait to worship the Lord and to hear the messages this year. Unfortunately it was not at all what I had set it up to be. Different worship team, different guest speakers, different concerts. I allowed myself to not have as good of a time and to be dismissive of the messages that I did get to hear or too distracted with JoJo to really pay close attention. I got home and realized that the message might not have applied to me at the time but I was suppose to hear it for a reason and God was just planting the seeds.

Every single day the Lord is at work in our lives and our hearts and every single day that is true of Satan as well. We are the only ones that can choose which side we are going to listen to and which team we want to be a part of. I got home Saturday night and was so upset. I allowed the Devil to steal my weekend. I allowed him to put thoughts in my head that were not true and in doing so missed out on what could have been just as incredible of a weekend. God doesn't always give us BIG moments sometimes its in the small moments.

I did get to see my Burnet Bestie, which was one of the highlights for me! She was there with her sister and Mom. I miss this girl like crazy. She is having her sweet little man here in the next couple weeks and I am so excited to get to travel back to Dallas to meet Mr. Hayes! 

We might have had nosebleed seats again but if you ever wonder if God is in control let me tell you how perfect it was. We had nobody behind us, and were directly on the isle. Made it pretty perfect for me to nurse Clint and stand up when I needed to without disturbing people... well other than my own friends. ;) 

Clint did pretty good considering it was super loud and super overwhelming. 

It was still a great weekend with my best friends and my little JoJo man. Here is to next year... I am going back and I am going to open my heart a little wider and am going to listen a little harder.
