Well, here I go.
Diving into the unknown.
Deep water swimming.
No turning back now!
Scared to death? Yes!
Excited? Beyond!
I was thinking about my why am I going to Relevant speech and in the process I came across this quote:
…because everyone has a megaphone.
Michael Hyatt, Chairman and CEO Thomas Nelson Publishers
Being a former cheerleader I know a lot about megaphones. They magnify your voice, get people’s attention, and look really cool in your senior picture from 1989. But, Mr. Hyatt isn’t talking about that type of megaphone. He is talking about your platform. Your voice. Your sphere of influence. And everyone has one. And I am going to Relevant to learn how to best use my megaphone.
So I stopped by Brook’s house and picked up some really great CAbi Clothes to wear.
I’m meeting this lovely friend at the airport today bright and early:
Flying to Harrisburg, PA (oh so close to the chocolate capital of the world) to join these amazing women,
and attend my first ever blogging conference. It also happens to be the first Christian blogging conference.
My prayer is that I will hear, learn and see all that God has for this former cheerleader. So that I can come back here, and use my megaphone for His glory.
Let every detail in your life – words, actions, whatever – to be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way. Colossians 3:17
Special thanks to Brooke my CAbi Clothing consultant for providing me with super cute clothes to wear at the conference. She has been so generous with me. Next week, I will have a chance for you to win some CAbi fabulousness for yourself!
What fun! 🙂 Enjoy your time at the conference! Can’t wait to hear how it went!
Hey! Love the pic of Stef…give her a big hug from me, and ya’ll have so much fun! Don’t stay up too late talking (HA!) Got OUTLIVE YOUR LIFE from the library today (thanks for the posts about it recommending it) Cannot wait to read it!
I just wanted to let you know I want to be just like you when I grow up…wait, I am grown up, and wait, I think I’m older than you, so I can’t do that!!!! oh well!
Love you
Gretchen
Ah you are so sweet! Steph hugs you back. We have talked nonstop….not surprising! Love you and miss you!
