Hi Heather! Great blog! I will also be attending the SheSpeaks conference and I had the hardest time finding shoes! I went to Journeys shoe store and found these adorable shoes – with an arch! I hope you can find some shoes soon!

I can’t wait to meet you. We all are feeling insecure and unsure…that’s right where we need to be for God to fill us up and for HIM to do it all. Chin up, it will be amazing.

I think (hope) you’ll find all that nervousness melt away when you get there and see how warm and welcoming everyone is! I had a BLAST last year and it was my first ever blogging conference/get together. I was nervous, but there was no need to be. I can’t WAIT to see you!

Sounds to me like you’re in just the right place to be depending on Him and knowing when it’s over that it was Him at work and not you that amazed people or whatever. I’ve been loving these verses lately:

“When I said, ‘My foot is slipping,’ your love, O LORD, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.” (Psalm 94:18-19)

“for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared.” (Prov. 3:26)

May His love support you, may He be your confidence, and may He catch you when your feet slip… :silly: (and may He help you find cute comfy shoes.) Can’t wait to hear about what He does in and through you at the conference!

Thank you so much, Heather. This brought tears to my eyes. I’m getting very nervous about speaking and being prepared, and I needed the perspective.

Heather: I’m new to your blog but I’m going to She Speaks (found you via the Meet Up link on In Passionate Pursuit blog). I just had to comment and tell you I LOVE the title “It’s Not About the Hair” for a devotion book. Cute, creative and catchy! Looking forward to meeting you

Hi Heather,
I discovered your blog today from another blog I follow. I just wanted to say Hi I enjoyed reading about you and your family, it really blessed me. :biggrin: God will keep you and bless you though all your difficult times as you well know.
I pray you have a blessed time at the conference.
God Bless!

You are going to be a blessing, because that is who you are! I pray often and ask the Lord to hide you under His wings of Mercy. I don’t know so much of what you feel, I do know how you make others feel, better for being around you. Yes I am biased, but more then that I am blessed to be your dad. God Knows what He is doing, how you choose to trust Him helps us see Him as trustworthy. I LOVE YOU! Everyone you meet at Shespeaks will also, they probably already do. I can’t wait to hear what the Lord does there, and see what happens next. xxxooo

Singer Indie.Arie has a song called I Am Not My Hair. Her struggles with her hair were for different reasons, and your story reminded me of the song. If you’re wearing a wig in the picture on your blog, I couldn’t tell. It looks great! Thanks for sharing. I hope to see you at She Speaks.

I wasn’t too worried until today. Now I’ve got to actually set up a blog with the name I bought a year ago, get some business cards and really make sure my tops and bottoms match and the comfy shoes aren’t Crocs, unless they’re the new designer ones. All in one week! No prob, right? : – )

I’ve never heard of this conference, but I know you’ll be wonderful. People will be delighted to meet; especially those who have walked this road with you.

About the wig–I so totally understand. You see I have alopecia (hair loss) and have lost almost of the hair on my head. The doctor says it won’t come back, I have friends believing otherwise. But until it does, I have very little hair and bald spots, and wear a wig when I’m in public. My sister is coming to visit tonight and then we’re headed to visit the rest of the family (all out-of-state). My dh (who has really struggled with my condition) told me the other night that I needed to wear the wig all the time. I DON”T WANT TO. At the same time, though, I don’t want to scare people, especially my great nieces and nephews. I know the struggle.

Enjoy yourself, though.

Can I just say that I am SO excited to be riding down with you and Lisa. I cannot wait to meet and talk to you.

As far as wig or no wig – do what makes you feel good about yourself! Whichever you decide, I think you are awesome already and look forward to confirming that next week!

Girl, you are one of the top 3 people that I cannot wait to meet. At least you at once HAD an extrovert part of your brain. Sometimes I pretend to be an extrovert but then I have to go to my room and crash for like 8 hours.

I’m horrible in person. I’m clumsy and dorky and cannot think of anything great to say until I’m home in front of my dumputer.

Betcha can’t wait to meet me huh? Oh I forgot, I have 3 eyes and a rash too.

Saw your story over at Lisa’s blog and now am being blessed by looking through your archives, getting to “know” you before She Speaks. Look forward to meeting you and watching all that the Lord has in store for you.

Heather,
I am not going to She Speaks but I will be praying for you and all the other attendees.

Remember, you are a Daughter of the King. You are beautiful just as you are.

Hi Heather. I think you should wear whatever makes you feel most comfortable. I will say it gets cold in those conference rooms so you may want something on your head just to keep you warm!

Be sure and introduce yourself to me if you spot me -I can’t wait to meet “boring Heather,” whom I’m certain I will love.
