You don’t have to believe in it, or understand it, but you have to listen to it, cry during it and laugh a little in order to relate to it. Women of Faith may not be you religion, your church, or your bible. It’s an arena full of 8,500 plus women. They come from all walks of life, all colors, and shapes and sizes.

Women of Faith is founded on all women with faith, “Are heart behind Women of Faith is that women come and their god will find them in every walk.” Angie Smith said during an interview. The conference is a two days event, it has a three hour session the first night and a nine to five session the next day. You come and listen to incredible women that tell their struggles in life and how they walked beyond them and how their faith kept them going.  There’s also live performances by bands, dancers, and artists.

Another thing about women of faith is that during the breaks you can have the chance to meet all the speakers, along with the performers. So if you could relate to one of the speakers stories or was inspired, your able to shake that persons hand and tell them, you could also get there signature and a picture with them if you like.

This year there was four women speakers along with one male speaker, all of them with amazing touching stories to tell. Ken Davis was the male speaker during the event and spent the time talking about is grandchildren and all the different stages of life, he was the first speaker and the moment he stepped on stage to when he walked off you had you in tears, but he also had you dying in laughter. Sheila Walsh who was the host and a speaker, she said these words, “If we drive in the review mirror of what we use to be, we will never get to who we want to be”

Some of the other speakers consisted of Jennie Allen, Shannon Ethridge, and Angie Smith they were all extremely strong women that when they spoke it gave you chills to listen to their and the ser strength of 8,500 in that arena. They were companied by CeCe Winams, the band Selah, an artist from JesusPainters Ministries, Ballet Magnificate, and Author and story teller Michael Neale.

So with the amazing words from Amy Perry female vocalist in the band Selah, “Careful how you wear your panties.”

After telling her story of her pregnancy and wanting to know WHY everything has to get bigger. Well one day she noticed a bulge on her hip and asked her nurse. Her nurse was surprised by this bulge also and gave her a name of another doctor. Amy went back and was told that it was only excess fat. What had happen was her maternity panties didn’t lie right on that hip and the fat grew over the side of her pantie line.

So if you find yourself pregnant in the future be careful of how you wear those maternity panties they might come back and haunt you.
