The 2006 Contagious Joy conference was my first one. I had such a wonderful experience that I decided to volunteer for the 2007 Amazing Freedom conference.
Between the time I volunteered and the conference, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had a lumpectomy in September which went very well (no lymph nodes involved). Praise God. I thought I was done. Then, I was told that I would need adjuvent chemotherapy due to the type of cancer (triple negative). I had my first round of chemo on Nov.13. It went very well. No nausea or anything. I went ahead and worked at the conference in product sales and I believe it was the best therapy I could have had.
I was placed in one of the children’s book sales tables and the experience was awesome. One thing that touched my heart was a woman who purchased a Revolve Bible for her granddaughter. Within minutes she came back up to me and bought another one. She had given the other one to a complete stranger, a young lady who was looking through one of them but couldn’t afford to buy it. Not only has God been merciful to me but He has revealed so much of Himself to me through this journey. Jesus truly does live in us and when we open our eyes and our hearts, He is visible.
On another note, the porch pals were amazing. It was so much fun to experience the final stop of the tour. As my Mom would say, they were somewhat “giddy” which I found delightful. There is so much more I could say, but this is getting lengthy so I’ll leave it as is. There is no doubt in my mind that, Lord willing, I will be at the next one.
