{RE}discovering Him :: Day 23 - The Gift

I am going to Relevant '11.
I am going to Relevant '11.
I am going to Relevant '11.

I just have to keep saying it over and over to myself because I can hardly believe it.

Back in March when the tickets first went on sale, people across Twitter and the blogosphere brimmed with excitement. I felt swept up in the excitement too. Being less than a year into my bloggy journey, I had only "heard" about all of the exciting writing or blog conferences out there filled with tips, swag, meet-ups, and much more.

But there was something different about Relevant to me, and I wanted to go.
But the anxieties & worries of the past year, crippled the extrovert inside of me, and I shrank for cover.
"I don't know if I can do it."
"Who would I room with?"
"I don't know how I will feel then -- physically, emotionally, mentally...."



So I didn't. I resigned myself to attending in 2012.

But then....
I started making more friends.
I began to truly feel connected.
Some of my connections were attending Relevant.
I tapped back into my truer "self"

So I put out some shout outs.
For AWHILE.
And.
I.
Got.
Nothing.

And then I tried again.
I missed a few sales.

And then.
A friend connected me to a friend.
Another friend connected me to another.

And now I have a ticket and roommates.
My delight cannot be contained.
Mom, sis, hubby, and bff rejoice along with me.

And in 4 days....
I am going to Relevant '11.

#YAY



{RE}discovery :: Sometimes it still amazes me how well He knows me, understands me, gets me, plans for me, opens doors for me. I can trust Him. Oh, why do I forget that??
