I am excited to announce that I have been invited to speak at the Selah conference, which is an annual seminar for women held at George Fox University in Newberg, OR. It is coming up on Saturday, September 25th, from 9-5pm. This year the topic is: Simplify – Discover the biblical truth that less is more. This conference is focused on the important task of de-cluttering our heart and lives in order that we much embrace the best that God has in store for us. We will learn together the importance of prioritizing our values and how to spend our time and resources intentionally.
I will be leading a break out session on the topic of Missional Homemaking. The thesis of my talk will be: Come be challenged to live an intentional life of simple living in order that we might give generously to others through hospitality, relationships, and ministry.
I am absolutely thrilled for the opportunity. My prayer is that God might use the vision He has imparted to me to help inspire other women towards more purposeful planning in making their homes a place of ministry. If you live in the area, please join us! I would love to meet you and be blessed by your support. Otherwise, please pray that the Lord give me the words to speak!
I’m so thrilled about this conference! I live in Salt Lake City but have been wanting to visit Oregon to visit a dear friend. Anyway, I read on your blog about the conference and she and I are registered and so excited to be attending together! Thanks for letting us know about it, and I will be in your break out session for sure:)
My daughter just sent me your link! She lives in Tx. and I live 2 miles from George Fox! I am really excited to attend this! I only wish she could join me! I will invite my new daughter-in-law! Looking forward to meeting you! This is going to be great!
I am thrilled to have landed on your blog today! I am going to look into the conference… it sounds wonderful. Thank you.
How lovely!
I do so hope that there might be an audio to purchase afterwards..the whole conference sounds wonderful, but I’d love to hear what you have to say!
Congratulations!
I know you will be wonderful! I wish I was in the area, I’d love to hear you speak. I know your words will be helpful to all in attendance!
Wow, how wonderful! I know you are going to be wonderful…those lucky ladies! If you ever get to good ol’ WI, I am there!
That sounds like an amazing conference – I wish I could be there! I would love to hear some of your bullet points if not details of your talk when you return! I will be praying for this opportunity for you
I was wondering if the school and or conference are considered in association with Quakers or is it all generally christian?
Christian by all means.
I know this isn’t the spot to post this, but I’m not great with figuring out the proper way to communicate via blogs so I hope you’ll forgive me…. I love your blog! I share LOTS of your values and thought this might be a great forum to get some ideas/share recipes for making veggie fruit leather! I know you have the same dehydrator that I do and while I love making fruit leather for my kiddos it takes SO much fruit – which is expensive… but veggies are less so, I know that carrots would probably make a great veggie base for fruit leather, but I”m wondering if others have already done the experimenting and could share their successes. Could you, would you ever consider doing a post on this?
Thanks!
Rebekah, I have only tried fruit leather with fruit at this point. I would love to do some more exploring with the addition of veggies, but have not attempted it yet.
Congrats! That sounds like a great conference. I would love to go if I lived up there. My husband’s uncle is the President of George Fox. Beautiful place!
That´s great Lindsay!! You will inspire them
Lindsay, I just blogged on this very topic today! This has really been on my heart lately. How I wish I could be at the conference to hear you speak! Do let us know if you are able to release an audio of it afterwards. I know it would bless so many.
