As my daily devotion time, I'm going to write, instead of read someone else's, daily miracles. My hope is, that by doing this, I will enrich my journey and awareness of God in the little things in my life and also encourage others to do the same. I encourage you to share your comments and stories of things that you encounter along your journey.
Blessings,
Jennifer

Friday conference

I came to this conference all excited.   The day before I bought a new tablet  so I was armed and ready to get the most I could get out of my eexperience here.  I 've been studying the workshop lists for days.  I downloaded the conference app on my tablet so I could make sure I didn't miss anything.  I got off to a later start than I planned.  luckily I had a 3 hour drive to get over that fact.  Being the good conference goer, I registered and then headed to the 1st workshop-getting the most out of your experience.   The 1st words that stuck out tome were that I could skip something if I felt like relaxing or just hanging out with people here.  What?  That wasn't in the workshop sschedule  this wasn't the 1st thing she probably said.  But since ce my awesome new tablet continued to try and give me directios to the conference during the session I was slightly distracted trying to figures out how to close the navigation app or turn the volume off-or preferably both.  So it was then that I realized I was going to have some readjusting to do.
Later I met up with someone and we planned to have dinner.   Working on my readjustment skills, I was planning on skipping the connect groups.  I wasn't overly sure what they were and they were an option during dinner break..  and, everything was optional.  So, when the girl I was with wanted to go, I went but not overly excitedly.  But, having a group of random people to share experiences and ideas with has been awesome!   I have left each day feeling blessed by the conversations and the connection.
The evening session was about prayer.   More specifically, what I heard was prayer over programming.   This is huge for me right now.  Planning several huge events and fully admitting that excel is my friend,  it helped me realize that I need to stop and focus this planning time on prayers for what God wants to happen rather than on what I want to happen.
In just a few hours, this conference changed my life by readjusting my thought process and focus.
So where was God today?   I am so blessed that God has given me the gift of this weekend.
Blessings,
Jennifer
