Zoe,
I smiled as I read your post Zoe. I so enjoyed meeting you at She Speaks last year. It was my first time to attend and it was life changing to me. Not only did God give me direction and encouragement with my writing, He also led me to be a volunteer with P31 even though I live in PA.
I had such high hopes of returning this year. I was hoping to drive down a day or so earlier so I could volunteer my services of helping wherever you all needed someone. Well only one problem - things are incredibly tight with us financially this year. There is no way that we can afford it. I keep praying for a miracle, but...
My thoughts and prayers will be with you all.
Dear "Pearls",
Thanks so much for your encouraging words about She Speaks and thanks a million for your sacrifice of time and talent. I know I speak for each team member when I say that the ministry could not survive without the help of our volunteers.
Many people think Proverbs 31 is a huge ministy with a huge staff and offices.
In truth the ministry is run by 3 full time and 5 part-time employees along with a host of volunteers. The entire office space is less than 2,200 square fett and that includes the resource room.
The Lord is blessing the work of the few hands to reach women and men literally all over the world and the time volunteers give is more valuable than "pearls" (excuse the pun).
Let me encourage you about trusting the Lord for your finances.
Each speaker/writer and staff member pays their own way to the conference and for the conference. Each of us has at least one other job (I have 2 other part-time jobs)in addition to speaking and writing for Proverbs 31. Each of us has experienced financial hardships through job loss or other circumstances as well as the life tramas the Lord chooses to bring into our lives. BUT GOD has shown His faithfulness to each of us in ways we cannot grasp or even understand.
Know this for sure... if the Lord wants you to attend She Speaks again He will get you there and nothing can keep you from attending.
Job 42:2 "I know that you can do all things, no plan of yours can be thwarted."
Keep praying and waiting. It will be exciting to see what the Lord will do in your life. Please keep me posted.
Joyfully,
Zoe
Zoe,
Thanks for the encouragement! It meant a lot to me. Because of your words of encouragement I decided to enter for Lysa's scholarship to She Speaks. We'll see what happens. Thanks for your vote of confidence.
"Pearls" :)
Pearls,
Yeah,that's great news. I'm so excited you've entered your name.
Please keep me posted.
Zoe
I'm excited for you too Pearls! I'll say a prayer that God will provide for you one way or another!
I can confirm everything Zoe said about She Speaks. In fact if you call the office to register, you will probably talk to me. My name is Melissa and we have already been so busy at the office working on this conference. I am so excited for this year's conference! Thanks for encouraging people to sign up Zoe. I think it's going to fill up quickly!
Z-thank you also for the sweet sweet comments you left on my 'beautiful' blog. You make me feel so special! I just love you:) and that video was a hoot! Me and Samantha cracked up!
Love you princess! See ya next Thursday!
Love,
Melissa
Zoe,
I am awaiting to see if God opens any other opportunity for me to attend She Speaks. I am asking either for a way to go, or that He takes the strong desire I have to go away. We'll see what happens. Thank you for your encouragement Zoe. You are a blessing to me.
