A Dream Come True And A Prize For You

Thanks to all who entered!

A few weeks ago we hosted our first ever Mamas Write Mini-Conference.  I haven’t written about it yet for several reasons.  First because it was exhausting and I’ve been recovering from it all.  (It was a good kind of exhausting though, the kind that lets you know you’re walking the path He’s chosen and not sitting on the sidelines.)  Also because my boys were sick for about 2 weeks.  And because we started homeschooling for the first time.  

But mostly it’s because I don’t know where to find the right words to describe what the Mamas Write Mini-Conference meant to me.  As I listened to the speakers, observed the bloggers, absorbed the Holy Spirit filled atmosphere, and saw the sweet smiles on the women’s faces I realized that I was watching the dream that God planted in my heart being played out in front of me.  

The speakers (Crystal Sparks, Rachel Miller, Rachel Holland, and Stefanie Brown) were awesome.  They gave us so much useful information in such a Christ honoring way.  The fellowship and being able to meet online friends face to face was like a fresh breeze that refreshed and reminded me why I wanted a group like Mamas Write in the first place.  

                        

It was just so obvious that God’s hand was on that time.  All the details that worried me were solved in ways that exceeded my expectations.  Our wonderful caterer (Sweet Georgia’s Cupcakes) had something family related come up and couldn’t make it.  (We continue to pray for them and look forward to yummy cupcakes and food at the next MWMC.)  But Firehouse Subs generously discounted their sandwiches and chips for us and we were able to stay within our budget.  The room we used did not have internet so the talented technician at Integra Home Systems was going to run a wire to give just one computer internet access.  But He was able to create wi-fi for the entire room.  Which makes us bloggers very happy.

The Lord was so faithful to us and I can’t wait to see what He does at the next Mamas Write Mini-Conference!  If you’d like to be added to our email list for the details of all our upcoming events let us know by emailing us at mamaswrite@gmail.com.  You can also find out more about Mamas Write at mamaswrite.com.  You can see all the photos taken by Texan Mama Photography on our Facebook page.
