Women Of Joy 2012

Thursday evening, after mine and Josh's little beach getaway, we headed back home.  But Josh dropped me off halfway, and I took off with the girls back down to Myrtle Beach for the...
 Women of Joy Conference 2012:  3 days, 2 nights, 1 purpose!
 We had a blast!  This is my third year going with the ladies from TBC and I look forward to it every year!  This year (and last year), we rented a house in Ocean Lakes.  The conference was held at the MB Convention Center.  And here are the ladies posing with the famous OL star, back row:  me, April, Laura and Joy.  front row:  Tracy and Crystal
 The line up this year, and every year, was great!  We heard from speakers:  Carol Kent, Thelma Wells, and the funny Anita Renfroe.  We missed out on Sherri Rose Shepard who spoke Sat. morning, because we all slept in a few extra hours.
 For the music this year, they had Mandisa and Brandon Heath.  They were both very good.  We had a concert Saturday night and got our praise on!
 And yes we did get our picture with Mr. Charles Billingsly!  He was our worship leader for the whole weekend, and boy can he sing.  This is my favorite part of the whole weekend, the praise and worship.  To be around so many sisters in Christ all worshiping our one God is a-maz-ing!  I always miss the praise and worship so much when we leave.
 After the Saturday morning sessions, we headed to the house and went straight to the beach, where we laid out for most of the afternoon (minus our little lunch break at the snack bar).  We also laid out most of the day on Friday too.
The shirts this year were pretty cute, so we all had to get one!  The theme this year was Abundant Grace!
We had great food, fun and fellowship this year at WOJ!  Can't wait till next year!  The verse on the back of our cute shirts is:
~"Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone."  Colossians 4:6~
