Imitation: The greatest form of flattery

Fresh Grounded Faith 2010 Women's Conference at Second Baptist Church of Springfield

What a weekend-it was fantabulous!

Devony and I attended Fresh Grounded Faith at Second Baptist Church in Springfield. Oh, it was so good. I absolutely love, love, LOVE Jennifer Rothschild. She so sweet and true. She's truly an inspiration to me.

During the conference Jennifer mentioned that if ever you're in a situation and you don't really know how to handle it or feel a little out of you league, that's it's OK to imitate someone you admire and respect. She told of a story where always before she was just a helper at these conferences but this one time she was more in charge of things, more involved. She didn't realize it until right before it got started, everyone gathered around and someone said, "OK Jennifer!" And she was thinking Ok Jennifer, what? Then she realized they wanted her to lead in prayer, to take charge and be the leader. She was overwhelmed and didn't know what to do or say, she had never been in that situation. So she quickly thought to herself, "What would my good friend Beth Moore do?" Jennifer then acted, thought and talked like she assumed Beth would in that situation. She got her strength from what she knew of Beth Moore's character.

So it's OK to imitate someone that you look up to from time to time. We learn from others examples. And I look up to Jennifer. It's alright, go ahead, call me a copy-cat. In this case, it's something I'm proud of. 
Did I get pictures of this super-wonderful event. No. (gasp) I guess I was to excited to remember my camera. Not sure how that can be, with me being a scrapbooker and all. I take pictures of everything-normally. I had to borrow photos from the Fresh Grounded Faith Facebook page. I don't think they will mind. :)

Thanks Jennifer-you help me to Shine.
