Proverbs 31: 26
She speaks with wisdom and faithful instruction on her tongue.
But what is She Speaks 2010? It’s one weekend in North Carolina this summer, hundreds of women chasing their dreams, refining their talents and having a darn good time doing it.
psst…She Speaks 2011 planning folks. Can we have the conference in February next time for this Minnesota girl? Okay fine, maybe not. But hey, at least I can always see something positive. North Carolina Summers = Bottomless Pitchers of Sweet Tea.
Women flock to this conference for the multitude of opportunities to grow, connect and share about their ministry, writing and/or speaking projects.
I have yet to attend a She Speaks conference. I desire a chance to participate, so much so, I can feel the freezing meeting halls already. Seriously, y’all down South sure know how to crank the air conditioning.
Emily, from Chatting at the Sky, wrote a post on her blog about an awesome opportunity for a fortunate blogger -A Cecil Murphey SCHOLARSHIP from Lysa TerKeurst!
Author Lysa TerKeurst is hosting a linking party for her panel of judges to select one blogger to attend She Speaks 2010 Conference for free. I feel like I should be standing on my tip-toes, raising my hand extra high and waving it around as if to shout, “Pick Me! Pick Me!”
Yes, I’m raising my hand up from behind this computer screen, whispering pick me! But, who am I and what do I want with a Cec Murphey scholarship, you ask?
Well, let me break it down for y’all.
Who: My name is Jess. I write a home life blog called Just a Blink. I’m from Minnesota. I have 4 kids 5 years old and under. I have a passion for creating art, teaching children and telling stories.
What: The She Speaks 2010 writer’s track is calling my name! I want to be an author and create a children’s book series to inspire the next generation of girls.
Quick Peek: Dilly is an ordinary 9 year old girl that longs to become something more. Dilly finds herself in extraordinary, daring and virtuous adventures that lead her to find her own greatness and God’s goodness.
Where: I’ve got the joy of the Lord, Down in my heart! Where? Down in my heart! Where? Down in my heart to stay! Enough said.
Why: The She Speaks 2010 writer’s track will allow me to get a firm grasp on the ins and outs of writing, publishing and marketing books for children.
I want all the joy down in my heart to be spread, like a contagious smile, to young girls and all people reading the book.
When: July 30 – August 1st 2010
How: How, is right!? With the help of Lysa’s scholarship giveaway, that’s how! The conference is very reasonably priced. However, my funds for an event of this magnitude are nil. {Everything we are able to save up is going to our medical bills and mini-van acquired from the birth of our twin baby girls.}
I do have frequent flyer miles to get to North Carolina and I can manage to gather up enough cash for the extra little traveling expenses. All I need is the ticket in the door!
*Lysa’s judges* Please allow my mind to be stimulated and my soul to be nourished at the She Speaks 2010 writer’s track!
Thanks a Bunch,
Jess
