Sunday morning began with gender divided breakout sessions. Wifey is writing this post, and as such can't speak to the men's session.
The ladies session was fantastic though!
**A wise woman embraces God's design for her home **
"The fact that I am a woman does not make me a different kind of Christian, but the fact that I am a Christian makes me a different kind of woman." - Elisabeth Elliot, Let me be a Woman
God's Priorities:
- Her relationship with God
- Respecting and supporting her Husband
- Teaching and Training her Children
- Everything else in her life - Outside activities, job, volunteer work, etc.
"A supportive wife has faith that God is in control of her life, her marriage, her children, her present circumstances, and her future"
Men-folk thrive on respect.
We can show respect to our husbands by listening, speaking words of gratitude, praise, and sometimes #ministryofhush, affirming his sexuality.
We have to save time and energy for what is most important. Do our time and energy outlays line up with God's priorities above?
The final session of the conference focused on leaving a legacy.
As Christians, we are called to "not neglect to do good and to share what we have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God" - Hebrews 13:16.
We do live in a broken and fallen world, and the reality of this will challenge our commitment to Christ and each other.
Following Christ is not for the lazy or faint of heart, but instead requires we keep on going despite attacks from Satan, discouragement when our efforts are not immediately rewarded.
