Back in early November (just a couple months late posting...don't judge) I attended the annual Rise Women's Conference held at my church. It's a Friday evening/Saturday morning event with speakers and activities for close to 1000 women.
This year had a Homecoming oriented theme. I helped with decorations and the snack bar. This was my favorite Rise conference yet.

lead singer of That 80s band dressed as Debbie Gibson
Mandy Harvey of AGT fame as a speaker....Beyond inspirational and down-to-earth.
QHS Drum Line....amazing.
That 80's Band from St. Louis.......Great live band with music from the 80s.
The Crossing Worship Team.....sang uplifting music to get us pumped.
Friday was phenomenal. I even had a couple friends over after to spend the night. I'd like to talk about how Saturday went but I way overslept (by several hours) so never made it.
If you've never heard of Mandy Harvey, look her up! It was at the conference that I first learned who she was. Mandy is best known for being a finalist in America's Got Talent. She has a voice that will tear at your soul and can play an instrument quite well. And, unless she told you, I swear you'd never know Mandy is deaf.
Mandy, at the age of 19, lost all of her hearing. She went through a season of self-pity and anger but put on her big girl panties and has made the best of it. Because she can't hear the songs she writes/sings, Mandy uses different techniques to get the vibrations and vocals correct. That girl is the epitome of inspiration!

'80s fashion, drum majors, and lots of candy: It looks like quite the event!
Sounds like an awesome time. Maybe the snacks were a hidden test for all those people who made their New Year's Resolution this year to "eat healthier?"
That looks like an inspiring event! I love the live acts, and food.
I went to a women's conference very similar to this two years ago in Dallas.
Sounds like so much fun! I definitely would’ve enjoyed this!
I've never heard of Mandy before, but she sounds so inspiring. I'm off to YouTube to see if I can find some of her work.
