We sat on the cement outside of the arena and waited. And waited. And waited. I got to know Amy Barnes because she was as crazy as I was about getting THE PERFECT SEAT for the Living Proof conference. You see, I learned from the last Beth Moore event I attended, you have camp out a week in advance outside of the arena, in the snow, through desert heat, during an earthquake [in heels] to ensure THE PERFECT SEAT.
And that’s what we did. We waited and waited and waited until the doors opened.
No, it wasn’t like stalkers or sycophants, but more like girls who desperately needed to hear something—anything—about what we’re supposed to be doing with our lives. Yes, THE PERFECT SEAT would make all the difference.
But Amy wasn’t the only one I got to meet in Clovis. Nope, I got to meet Kristin too, a fellow blog reader who stopped me to say hello. I think I nearly shrieked when she introduced herself [obviously I was more excited than she was]. My mom told me that I was crazy for introducing myself, she said over the blaring music. With all due respect to Kristin’s mom, I’m SO glad she came by. I LOVE meeting cyber friends! To document our impromptu meetup, I took a [bad] picture of us 😉
This week marks a new year of life. Sitting with the woman who gave me life, listening to the woman who breathes life, surrounded by women who desire a full life was the best way to kick off my third year of ministry life. I’m excited about sharing this journey with you. I hope we all find our PERFECT SEAT.
This is the rifght blog for anyone who wants to find out about this topic. You realize so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I actually would want…HaHa). You definitely put a new spin on a topic thats been written about for years. Great stuff, just great!
May I say, Eileen, how happy I am that you use Yay when you want to express happiness, and not Yeah! like some people do. Yeah is yes. Yay is YAAAAAAAAY!!!!!Steve C.
