So a couple of weekends ago, on February 17th and 18th to be exact, our church held a marriage conference for any couple that wanted to sign up. It was soo much fun and I can't wait until next year when they have it again. We had it at Comfort Suites in Southaven (very nice facilities and friendly staff!) Friday night and Saturday until noon.
Our church believes in the biblical role of marriages in families and families as the basis of our church. We were thankful that Curt Liles (TheLife Oxford) and Eric Hankins (First Baptist Oxford) were able to come speak truth into our lives on biblical marriage. Some of the points that I am still chewing on today, a month later:
1. My husband has a HUGE responsibility to love me and our future kids as Christ loves the Church... no pressure.
2. As a wife and a future mother, I can't be manipulative and raise my children on a battle field. Small battles become big wars... Nothing is worth the destruction of our marriage.
3. My value and worth, as a wife, comes first and foremost from Jesus.
4. I can not be selfish and self-seeking, but rather I need to be servant hearted.
5. I have to be reminded of who I was in sin, and who I am now in Christ and not live be the flesh, but rather by the Spirit... DAILY!
Some fun pictures from the weekend...
Late night run to Steak N Shake with my hubs!
Thankful for my marriage to seriously the most selfless, funny, and godly man I know!

While I couldn't possibly get pictures with all the wonderful couples there, here are a few! Both Casey and Brandy serve faithfully on the praise team with Landon!
Btw, we won a Malco and Red Lobster gift card- score!!!!
And Hunter and Hilary won the grand prize... a very awkward story by Bill Murdock.
