Samaralara & WAY Too Much Tara (Jumbotron!!)

It was such a joy to share fellowship with and serve the women at AmazingGrace360! What at honor. What a blessing. Thank you, Jane Patete & Cindy Bennett and Kathy Wargo and Dr. Dunahoo and Tim Shirm and ALL of the CE&P staff and WASC members and WIC trainers! You have served us all so well. We appreciate you so much!

And to my dear friend Samara? I just can’t say thank you enough for all you did to serve at this event. You created, served at, and then tore down and packed up the BEST resource table I could imagine:

I am so grateful!

Thanks, too, for leaving me a little lovie note of encouragement on my podium (next to my lapel mic) for the two sessions I was most concerned about because the content was ALL NEW to me (and new content is always hard the first time):

You made me smile and feel loved RIGHT when I was most tempted to frown and freak out. 🙂 So thanks again.

 I also want to say a public thank you to Rick Friesen and Remley Gorsuch at Peacemaker Ministries for providing all of the free giveaways and shipping all of the material, etc. etc. Remley was a ROCK STAR in how hard she worked to serve the women at this conference and I am just incredibly grateful for her hard work and her caring, professional service.

Of course I would be remiss if I didn’t also thank my husband, Fred, and all of my dear friends for the prayers and emails and notes of encouragement as I prepared to serve and as I was actually teaching at this event. I pushed extremely hard Friday and Saturday! But of course it was a joy and and honor too—and I know that if anything I did encouraged or blessed anyone in any way, it was solely due to God’s grace and the prayers of the saints.

With that, I need to scoot to the airport.

Thanks again and much love,
Tara B.

PS
I really debated whether I would show you the GIGANTO Tara on the JUMBOTRON. It’s a little weird to see yourself SO BIG but I guess it’s necessary when you are serving 2,000+ women. So here I am:
