In Between... one word or two? add a dash, make it one word...
In-Between
Right now, I am smack dab in-between two Allume conferences. It was just one year ago this week, that God surprised me in a big way, by providing the finances through a complete stranger, that allowed me to go to the Allume Conference in October of 2012. The sad thing is, said donor was unable to make it to the conference and I was unable to thank her properly with a hug.
Now I look back on last year's conference and it fills me with GREAT anticipation for this year's conference. I am anticipating deep hugs from the friends I made last year and also looking forward to deep hugs with new friends I have since made on twitter... I even got brave and picked someone new for roommates.
This in-between is a delightful place to be. So many happy memories of last year's conference. So much excitement about this coming conference. The line-up is awesome and leaves me giddy with high expectations. And the memories from last year fuel my excitement... Because this year, I know a little bit more what to expect and I can't wait!!!
Hi. Found you at 5MF.....How exciting to hear about your allume trip. This is definitely on my wish to do list. Finances is what has held me back. Thank you for sharing your testimony on God's provision.
ReplyDeletePraying a God-sized provision for you... if not this year, then next!!!
DeleteI have not heard of Allume, but now I want to know more. :) Visiting from FMF link-up.

DeleteOhhhhh I love the story of how you got to last year's conference!! Have a most blessed time this year! I have never been to a blogging conference, and if I could go to any - Allume would be my first pick.
ReplyDeleteYEAH!!!! I cannot wait either. I'm so excited to see you again and all the other gals from Five Minute Friday and the fabulous Lisa Jo, herself. So much fun. Now I'm all kinds of excited.

ReplyDeleteI want so bad to be able to join you all at Allume but maybe 2014 will be my year. I can't wait to hear, see, read all the updates and info you all share for the speakers.
ReplyDeleteI really want to go. This post is pushing me closer and closer to buying a ticket. Love and excitement are jumping off the page. The anticipation and joy resounding even in the comments. Who wouldn't want in on that? Stopped by from Five Minute Friday!
