Extraordinary Women Conference

As most of you know, I attended the Extraordinary Women Conference at First Baptist Church in Jackson, MS. The conference was amazing! Over 3,300 women came from all over Mississippi to worship God.
Friday night kicked off at seven with a praise band then Chonda Pierce spoke. Chonda is a Christian comedian that opened our eyes to stop judging others and start helping others in need.
Saturday we were up early and at the church before 8 in the morning to see the Children of the World Choir. They were adorable! These children along with millions of others are orphaned due to AIDs. Only 14% of Christians give money to help these children, because of the stigma AIDs has in this world. This was very sad to hear especially because these children did not choose to be orphaned. Then the praise band opened up with several songs. The next speaker, Karen Kingsbury is a best-selling author who had everyone in tears when she read her book "Let Me Hold You Longer." The next speaker was Angela Thomas and she was very inspirational. Thelma Wells was the last speaker. She was great and spoke on how God is the way to success. Finally, Mark Schultz gave an amazing concert. He is a great performer and in Abbi's words, "He is very humble." My favorite song he sang is "I Am." I am posting the lyrics below. Have a great week!

I Am
I AM the Maker of the Heavens
I AM the Bright and Morning Star
I AM the Breath of all Creation
Who always was
And is to come

I AM the One who walked on water
I AM the One who calmed the seas
I AM the Miracles and Wonders
So come and see
And follow Me
You will know

chorus:
I AM the Fount of Living Water
The Risen Son of Man
The Healer of the Broken
And when you cry
I AM your Savior and Redeemer
Who bore the sins of man
The Author and Perfecter
Beginning and the End
I AM

I AM the Spirit deep inside you
I AM the Word upon your heart
I AM the One who even knew you
Before your birth
Before you were

chorus

Bridge:
Before the Earth (I AM)
The universe (I AM)
In every heart (I AM)
Oh, where you are (I AM)
The Lord of Lords (I AM)
The King of Kings (I AM)
The Holy Lamb (I AM)
Above all things

chorus:
Yes, I AM Almighty God, your Father
The Risen Son of Man
The Healer of the Broken
And when you cry
I AM Your Savior and Redeemer
Who bore the sins of man
The Author and Perfecter
Beginning and the End
I AM
