I have to the opportunity to speak at a conference coming up, and have enjoyed the process of preparation. I’m truly excited to hear from some of the folks that are speaking and have a feeling I will be asking if they’re sure they want me to take the mic when it is my turn to follow up one of these guys. But I am always honored to speak of my son and where life has lead us.
My ideas are still baking and I hope to share a bit of them on here for some feedback in days come, but it is fun to head back to Nashville- a place we called home about one year before Eliot was born. Our 6-month stint in Nashville was an interesting time for us as we had said goodbye to Forth Worth, TX- and folks & jobs that we loved. I could not get a job while we were there & ended up as a Gap Girl folding sweaters for 8 hours at a time. And that’s where I think I will start this talk…folding sweaters. Because during these seemingly meaningless, frustrating and forgotten hours, there was being forged a faith that was necessary for the days to come. Sometimes we fold sweaters; our culture worships sexy glitz and glamour, even our churches can. But God doesn’t need a platform. He is there in the menial, and greater faith is required for the days where we just feel like folders.
Here’s a video telling more about the conference & free tickets for the first 10 to follow the link. Just a heads up, the conference is for younger types, and although I think this is blatant discrimination, I wouldn’t want anyone rolling in and feeling out of place. On second thought, come on no matter your age, you’ll help me feel less out of touch.
