I’m Speaking at God’s Girls Online Conference

Welcome to Life from my Laptop, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. You can also sign up to receive my posts via email. Thanks for visiting!

The power of the Internet allows us to do amazing things these days.  More and more I am getting excited about the ways that it allows me to be involved in ministry that I would never have been able to do without it.   This includes the ability to speak to women and girls all over the country from the comfort of my living room using my computer.

I have recently spoken at two online conferences, A Woman Inspired and The Ultimate Homeschool Expo.  The creators of A Woman Inspired have now created a teen version for girls called God’s Girls Online Conference which is absolutely FREE for the girls to attend.  All they need is their computer and some speakers to listen in. 

I’ll be speaking on the topic of prayer journaling.  The conference will be Friday, August 21st in the evening and Saturday, August 22nd. I don’t know my exact speaking time yet, will let you know as soon as I hear!  I hope you will share this with the teen girls in your life and encourage them to attend.

Faith Inspires Airs this Week

I have to admit, I”m a little nervous, and that isn’t normal for me.  I don’t usually get nervous about speaking.  I get nervous about driving, about going new places, that sort of thing, but speaking, not so much.  However, I think the nerves center around getting this internet TV show thing just right.  The new webcam, the Stickam account, all that jazz.  But, I hope once that is settled and I”m gabbing away at ya’ll I’ll be just fine.

So, come join me and share with me this thing called “Faith”.  Do you have it?  Do you need it?  I’ll share with you this first week  how FAITH is my WHY!  It is sure to be interesting.  Now, for future week’s what about faith would you like to hear about?

Faith Inspires Live TV show will air tomorrow, June 25th, 2009 at 9 pm CST / 10 pm EST on MomTV.

Hear Me Speak

If you haven’t heard me speak or teach before then you’re in for a treat.  I have been given the opportunity to teach or speak online twice.  Once I did live today at 1 pm and secondly will be held on Monday, June 8, at 2pm CST / 3 pm EST as a part of the A Woman Inspired online conference.

Taking Off My Super Woman Cape

Over the weekend my husband reminded me that I used to call myself Super Woman.  I looked at him strange and he said, “Well you did.” I told him that I must have been joking and that I surely do not feel like super woman now.  After having three children, taking on a writing business, establishing a ministry and returning to seminary to finish my Master’s I feel like anyone BUT Super Woman. 

Today, after three weeks of feeling like I was in a major rut and totally realizing I am experiencing what many of you have probably experienced before, “Burnout” I’ve decided to seriously end the “super woman” phase of my life and to take off my super woman cape.

I cannot continue down the path that I have started down.  I am experiencing major burnout and I am slowly as a result loosing my passion and my creativity.  I’m no longer enjoying what I do, so therefore something HAD to give.

Today, I did what I encourage others to do as the trainer over at FaithLeaps.com I took a leap of faith.  I am officially outsourcing all writing to my team of writers over at A Writer for Hire.  While I will still be overseeing all the articles and working with my clients via all correspondence, I will no longer be heading up the writing itself.  I am going to be putting all my creative juices and writing skills back into my passion, my ministry and FaithLeaps itself.  More than anything I love to help others.  So my focus will now be those things I love to do:

1. Helping others to take a leap of faith into speaking, writing and ministry.
2. Helping moms and daughters grow their relationship with each other and their relationship with God.
3. Helping girls be what God made them to be not what the world wants them to be.

Stay tuned this means projects for me, and you know projects make me happy.  So be looking for some happier posts in the days ahead.
