This is my official entry for the She Speaks conference scholarship
Why I think I need it...for the past five years I have wanted to attend this conference. Last year I registered and then because my life went crazy I could not go...
About me...
My name is Pam West and I am (newly) a single mom of three kids. I have felt called to speak to women's groups and to write for several years. It took me almost two years to say those words out loud to anyone because I thought it sounded arrogant...like look at me...I want to speak to women's groups...
I know that God has gifted me to be in front of people, I just have no idea what that looks like in my life.
As I said before, I am newly divorced. There is a whole, long crazy story there (that probably doesn't belong in this blog quite yet) but just to say...there are a lot of women in my situation in or will be in my situation and I think that the church is still not quite sure how to minister to these wonderful ladies... (we are getting better at this). I do not know if God wants to use this in the speaking arena, but it is my experience that He doesn't allow anyone to go through things without a purpose.
I would LOVE to come to the conference. Last year when I had to give it up, I was heartbroken, but I knew it wasn't right to go in the midst of the chaos. Things are much calmer now and I would love to come. I think what you are all doing is amazing. Love it...
Can't wait until Monday...good luck to everyone.
