#influenceconf #wiww #obsessedwithhashtags

If you missed my first post #influenceconf post, you can find it HERE -- "My full cup -or- Why being an extrovert doesn't matter."  I don't have much more words to share (yet) other than, God willing, you'll find me there again next year!!  And you know when you leave college for the summer and keep "seeing" your college people back at home but it's not really them, you just longingly think you see them?  Yea.. that keeps happening.  #mirages #missyall #ihaveahashtagproblem  anywhoo... I do want to share some favorite quotes from the sessions:

"an artist is someone who is brave enough to move toward what makes her come alive." -Emily Freeman

"Art can be any work done in the present moment with willing hand, a whole heart, and a steadfast belief." - that cute emily freeman girl again

"Creativity was not an afterthought - it was the beginning!" -Emily again

"Brave yes vs. strong no" -Anne Bogel

"Just because i can do it all (through Him), doesn't mean I have to do it all." -Sarah Matheny

"when your child disobeys teach them to grieve the heart of God, not point them to an idol - your approval" - Jami Nato

"the things you chase will trap you & make you a slave" -Jami

(check out Jami's video on this post. *grab tissue first)

"When we minister out of ourselves we will bleed out.  the problem is? our blood is no good." - Jessi Conolly

"what i put on my blog is a love letter to my kids" - Casey Wiegand
