This past weekend I had the opportunity to go to a women’s conference near my home. It was so fun to see friends I haven’t been with for a while and to make some new friends.  However, the best part was the opportunity to worship, be in God’s presence and to fine-tune skills to hear His voice and to speak that . . .
