I was so encouraged today to speak to a group of young moms! They were so attentive and into their families\u2014it just warmed my heart. I loved their enthusiasm and interest in learning and growing as Christian moms. I truly went away encouraged and refreshed\u2014even though I only got through a quarter of my handout! LOL!<\/span>
<\/span>
I did the unthinkable (and don\u2019t tell Ray!)\u2014told them what I didn\u2019t have time to tell them. I have this bad habit when I\u2019m speaking: I want to say way more than I have time for. Thus, I often mention things that I would tell them if I had time, etc. Ray always says, \u201cDon\u2019t tell them that you do not have time to tell them something!\u201d Smile\u2026Thankfully, I now have PP 365 to refer people to\u2014so instead of saying that I don\u2019t have time for something, I can just tell them to go to such and such at the blog for more info about something. This is a great tool for us windy speakers!<\/span>
<\/span>
Anyway, I wanted to give those sweet moms (and anyone else who is interested) links to many of the things that I mentioned this morning and that I wish I could have had time to delve into further. So\u2026here you go\u2026<\/span>
