Heroes

Heroes. We all have them. Whether on TV, YouTube or in real life. Whether they wear a cape or a mask, or the cutest skirt,  we all have people that inspire us. 

When I heard that Mrs. Jolene Sloan would be speaking at a ladies conference a few hours from us, I just knew we had to go!

 Jolene first inspired me when she was a missionary in Ukraine. Her testimony was so encouraging and uplifting and made me want to be closer to the Lord. Then when Tabitha first got married, she reached out to her for counsel. She pointed her in the right direction and made a huge impact on Tabitha's life. So I knew for Tabitha's birthday I wanted to take her to see and meet Mrs. Jolene Sloan! 

Calvary's Grace did an amazing job with the conference. It was all feminine and girly and so beautiful!

And meeting Mrs. Jolene in person was just as much a blessing as on the phone and online. She's real, she's a joy to be around, and her speaking blessed our hearts!

When we got to the conference we were also excited to see that Mrs. Trish McCoy would be speaking as well! She's another one of my heroes! We love her! I was so excited to see her again and especially to hear her speak.

I furiously took notes on the things she said and I feel like the Lord gave me exactly what I needed!

Her life story makes me want to be a better Christian and a better wife. She is inspiring!

That night when we got back to the dorm and we realized time was going fast,  we decided to bring our bag of chips and dip and see if the Sloans wanted to play Dutch Blitz with us. We were all pretty competitive and we just had a great time together! There's just nothing like Christian friendship.

Then at the conference the next day I was proud of my girls! Beth and Callie were the last two ladies standing for contest. 🙂

It was a great time away for the four of us I'm so thankful for ladies that encourage us and inspire us. They are are our heroes.
