Well another year of Time Out for Women has come and gone.
Our theme this year:
It was an amazing weekend, filled with love, friendship, and the spirit of christ. I was really glad to see my favorite two speakers there, Brad Wilcox and Amanda Dickson. Brad talked about being changed by Grace and the Atonement. To me understanding the atonement has always been very complicated, and hard to wrap my mind around all of its concepts. Brad truely understands this concept and is able to help others to understand the deepness of it all. Some of my favorite quotes from him include,"The miracel fo the atonement is not that we can be cleansed but tis that we can be changed and transfored"
"The atonement is to be change" and
"We don't get to heaven on Jesus's coattails, rahter he changes us to fit his coat"
If you've never had the opportunity to hear this man speak, I would sugest buying one of his books or cd's. He is amazing!! :)
Amanda Dickson talked about friendship. She is truely and amazing women. This women is not a memeber of the church, but is so in tuned to the spirit. Some of her quotes include,
"Women gathering is divine and important and the relief socity was truely inspired"
"We have to learn to be better friends to ourselves."
With the theme of BECOME it really helped me to focus my attention on what I want to become throughout the rest of my life. However, the first step is to become me.
