I know I am crazy talking about snow globes when we are celebrating the first of spring! But your snow globe will take on a new look after you read this post! Happy Spring by the way!
Would you agree that your DESTINY is up to you to DISCOVER? I agree 100% with this and I know first hand that PASSION will motivate you to find or "discover" a set direction which will lead you to your DESTINY! Did you get all that?
Direction is your road map to move you along from one road sign to the next. A road map keeps you focused so you do not get distracted and drift. If Heather does not focus I begin to drift. I drift over to the mall and wonder aimlessly trying to discover my next need. I drift into the shoe store. I then drift into this activity and then over to this hobby. All this drifting robs me from my dreams! I need direction to help me with discipline.
Many of you came to the recent "DREAM BIG" conference. I was honored to be able to encourage everyone to learn how to DESIRE and then DISCOVER their God given dreams! A God dream that is filled with passion can present a clear focus or vision that actually allows you to experience ahead of time the emotions associated with the anticipated future. I am still hearing how this conference has impacted so many lives. It goes to show you that God wants us all to desire with great passion our God Dreams! See my most recent blogs for a devotion and video from each part of the conference.

The next step after desiring and discovering the dream is to design a plan and investigate your desires. I always remind you that the DISCOVERY of Gods voice is not a one time event but an ongoing journey of wonder, struggles, fears and desires.
Well ya all know I am a BIG DREAMER and my husband is always asking "what is going on in your snow globe today?" He knows I am thinking big. My snow globe when all shook up is a clear picture of my dreams and destination. I believe God has put great desires in my Snow globe but its up to me to shake it up and go discover them! I really want to step out this year to sharpen and stir the gifts God has put inside me. When we stir up our gifts it brings our snow globe to life and our dreams begin to develop. 2 Timothy 1:6 states "Therefore, I remind you to "stir" up the gift of God which is in you."
I am excited to announce this opportunity God has presented to me so I can stir up the gifts inside me and I want to share it with all my wonderful friends! The 2010 "SHE SPEAKS CONFERENCE" http://www.shespeaksconference.com/
Lysa TerKeurst (http://lysaterkeurst.blogspot.com/), President of Proverbs 31 ministries has been a huge encouragement to me through her daily blogs. God has used her to inspire the dreams inside me, remember friends God speaks through ordinary people in extraordinary ways to get you where you need to be on purpose. Let me excite you a little bit more about the "SHE SPEAKS" conference. Especially for all you great servants in the "WOW" ministry, this will be a way to grow stronger in 2010!
FOR SPEAKERS AND TEACHERS this part of the conference will help you learn
*To be more effective in teaching bible study
*Develop a great message from start to finish
*Understand what keeps an audience engaged and how to make your message memorable.
*Learn to deliver and or teach your message in such a way that not only inspires your audience but motivates them to make life changes
FOR WRITERS:
You have a "PASSION" for writing and even had people encourage you to write a book, but have never known how to get started on the pathway to publication. You will have the chance to attend sessions taught by the top christian publishers- Zondervan, Harvest House, Cook and several others. You will also be able to make appointments to pitch your book proposal.
Or maybe you are a blogger and want to learn how to more effectively connect with your readers, increase the impact of your blog, and hear from someone who successfully got a book contract by maximizing her blog platform.
Whatever the case may be, if you are a writer in the making, after attending this conference you will:
*DISCOVER your unique writing voice and the mechanics of effective writing
*Understand what publishers are looking for and how to write proposals that get their attention
*Better understand how to build your writing portfolio by getting published in magazines
*Know how to write a book that will impact your reader from start to finish
FOR WOMEN'S MINISTRY LEADERS
Now I know first hand that directing a large women's ministry is amazing yet challenging all in one. I know many of you serve in full time ministry all year long. Now this is an opportunity to stir up those gifts and get filled up. This training will encourage and help you:
*Continue building a DREAM TEAM of ministry partners
*Cast your vision for ministry in a way others will catch it
*Distinguish Gods direction for your ministry with God confidence!
*Celebrate milestones of your ministry's effectiveness and keep your team inspired
OK as you can see this is some serious SNOW GLOBE SHAKING! I know this will be loads of fun covered with profit and a cherry of purpose on top! I know that sounds corny but you get the picture right?
