Dear Ladies,
I sincerely thank God for allowing me to attend me this conference. I definitely have learned it very much. I feel the topic in this year is different from last year by God’s leading. It is intending toward a goal of “Free Inside and Out” in a serious of process by God’s forgiveness and unfailing love.

Steven Arterburn: He emphasizes on “Transformation” through “Romans 12:2”. Ex, “Let God transform us, not copy this world. We have to change the way we think. We can experience the transformation. If you want to have transformation, God will transform you.” I also like what he said how to “dig out” your past. He used the example about historical mistakes we can learn it and not make mistakes again. Furthermore, he starts to talk about “pain”/ “Do you have all pain? Shame, suffering and so on” Meanwhile, he illustrates four questions:
Q1. What am I so angry about?
Q2 What am I missing, entitled?
Q3 What I need right now?
Q4 What am I learning?
Next, he talks about sins down deep inside. We have to dig out. Like if we open the truth before God, he can heal us.

Summary:
I really like this part because it reminds of me that I have to dig my own past out or it will come back to bother me once I ignore it. I find that it will be a journey and I am willing to allow God to transform my life even though I am a Christian. Another reason is I know, if I do not dig out the past, I can not be like a purity child to see God. Matthew 5:7.

Marilyn Meberg:
I like Lisa Harper who uses two boxes as an example for explaining some anxious thoughts. (Psalm 94:19) “When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.” Furthermore, she uses “Consolation and Solution” through Jesus Christ to help us to go through.
1. Consolation: You can be really with God
2. Consolation: Jesus heals you. He feels you we feel such as pain.
3. Consolation: “God, I know you hear my prayer!”
4. Consolation: God, (Ephesians 1:11) is Sovereign. He will use you for good. (Romans 8:28) and Psalm 100.
Enter the password: thank you!
What doest that mean? “If I can give him my incredible pain , thank you for this according to his Sovereign work. I am willing to do according to his promised.”

Next, she said that when you say “Thank you!”, perhaps there is nothing changing immediately in your circumstance, but there is a transformation through Sovereignty to put your life again.
Sovereignty → Transformation (Change) →for His good will.


Sandi Patty:
God often through Sandi Patty ‘s music to heal people’s soul and pain. It is amazing! How much she closes to God when I hear her songs. Besides, she opens her pains to the LORD and allows him to heal her sorrow, shame and torment before. Let God take over her completely.
“Father, you give me wings and set me free. Set me free from before my false. Father, you have so patiently to see when you set me free……”

Sheila Walsh:
I thank God through her sharing to let me understand how to forgiven someone who used to hurt you or even take much granted from me in the past. I perceive that “Be Still” which means “Let go and know God!” Only God can complete us through his perfect love. (1 John4) Thank God-Amazing Grace.

Lisa Whelchel:
Through a Pastor’s wife’s sharing, I learn how to tear off our professional mask. I was surprised when she shared that she does not know how to make friends and connect people because she has a professional title from her insides which dates from her childhood, original family. She used to be an actress when she was a little child. She knows how to act and perform well and perfect through training. This process inevidivblely goes into her adulthood and affects her social relationship with people although she is a title of pastor wife and has published many books. However, she often feels lonely and isolation. She starts to cry out to God for help the “Inconsist connection love” God can help her to break down the barrier…….
It reminds of me how to recharge of “inconsist connection love” Sometimes when I feel I am lonely and isolation not feel I can connect with people, I think most of problems are from my own not because people do not love me or not connect with me. The problem is I think my own love is insufficient and I forgot to recharge it from God. Another important thing I learn is to be the way what God asks me to be before Him not pretend or try to perform well in the public. It is good reminding.

Nicole .C Muller:
I thank God to let me see Nicole Muller’s faith in him again and again. Through her songs “Redeemer” and dancing, the tears came into my eyes and a prayer jumping into my mind “God, thank you for your forgiveness and love. Without you, I can not sit here. Without you, I can not pray. Without you, my life can not be saved. God, really, without you, I can not do anything. Pa, Pa, my father, Jesus, I thank you for your grace and love and healing and forgiveness. Thank you for choosing me and giving me much love. Thank you, In Jesus name I pray, Amen”

Luci:
Thank God to spread the message from her. The life is absolutely to have many troubles (1 Con 2:9). Thank her for the message on John 16:33 and Lamentations (3:26)
