This weekend was absolutely amazing for me! I had the opportunity to go to Fort Mill, SC to a women's conference at Morningstar Fellowship Church, where former television evangelists Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker created Heritage Ministries! It was beautiful and unlike anything I had ever seen before in my life. When you first walk into the church, you feel like you're walking into a convention center. We walked down a short hallway and down the stairs into what looked like the main sanctuary. There was another conference underway in that area, but the staff was very helpful and friendly, guiding us to the area where our women's conference was held.
As we exited the main sanctuary, we walked through an area that looks like Main St at Disneyworld or something, with shops and boutiques on either side of the "street", complete with street lights and benches and everything. The church bookstore looked like Borders! We go through some huge glass doors and continue down a long, beautiful hallway. Mini Victorian style chandeliers hung from the ceiling as we made our way to the Dogwood Room. The walls were painted sky blue and there were portraits that were larger than life with encouraging words or of Jesus Christ hanging from them. I didn't realize where I was until I saw a oil painting of Tammy Faye Bakker on the wall in a cozy yet elegantly decorated corner. I was so excited because I was expecting something amazing to take place that day...and the fact that I was in the church of the world renowned Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker!
The True Value of a Woman was the name of the conference and I must say that my life is forever changed and greatly impacted because of what I learned this weekend. It was truly an eye opener to learn how the Lord truly sees me and values me as a woman. I was so affected by the information that I purchased the cd set and am soaking the message into my spirit so that I can share what I've learned with every female I know. I want all women to know that they are worth so much more than what they've been taught by their parents, in church, and in the media.
God sees us as the END of creation, for nothing else was created after woman. He truly did save the best for last. How magnificent is that!
Lord, bless the reader of this blog entry and help me to minister to everyone about the true value of a woman and how YOU esteem her as Your intimate creation. Thank You for Your Word and the revelation knowledge that it brings, and thank You for letting me know through Your Word my worth. In Your precious name I pray, amen.
