This past weekend I had the honor of attending the Women Of Faith National Conference in San Antonio with my sweet friend Mary. She was able to get us free tickets (which were supposed to be $150 each) to the conference. It was incredible! The conference was held at the AlamoDome (which is HUGE!) 15,000 women attended the conference. We were able to hear some incredible speakers and musicians at the conference. A few of the speakers were Robin McGraw (Dr. Phil's wife), Sherri Shepherd (actress), and Luci Swindoll (Chuck Swindoll's sister). Sandi Patty, Nicole C. Mullen, & Kathy Troccoli all provided fabulous music. There was also a Christian stand up comedian named Chonda Pierce.
The fun didn't stop there. We also received passes to go "backstage" to a meet & greet. We got to meet and visit with Sandi Patty. She has been one of my favorite artists since I was in elementary school, so it was quite an honor to meet her. She gave us a signed copy of her new CD which is coming out in April.
If you haven't attended a Women of Faith Conference before, I would highly recommend it.
Thanks again Mary!!

Oh, what a neat experience, Shelly! I'm so glad you got to go! I've seen Chonda Pierce before - she absolutely cracks me up. I'm glad you had some good girl time... I look forward to seeing you soon - feels like it's been a while! Love ya!
Shelly,
My mom and I went to Women of Faith last year in Houston before we moved from College Station! What a blessing! We saw Chonda Pierce and Lucy Swindoll, as well. We also got to see Avalon in their final performances before the group broke up. They traveled with Women of Faith last year. I'm so glad you got to have that experience with a good friend. We actually drove right through San Antonio this weekend on our way to Austin, and as we drove by the Alamodome my husband says, "Look at that...it's a bunch of women with bags in their hands." I said, "OH, that's Women of Faith honey." He looked perplexed.
Joni-
Yeah, has definitely been awhile. Hopefully we'll see you guys this weekend:)
Charla-
Too funny about you and your husband driving by the Alamodome! Hope you had a good spring break!
How fun! I wish I could have gone-I must check into the next one! Is it always in San Antonio? Or other places, too?
Kim-
The conferences are held all over the U.S. If you go to their website (http://www.womenoffaith.com) you can find a list of the cities they're going to.
