Deeper Still, For Real

All righty – after much delay and way too much overthinking about how to best convey what we learned this past weekend in Nashville, I now give you my notes on all three sessions.

Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best.

Especially when you’re wrestling with a gigantor case of blogger’s block.

Not that I’d know anything about that, of course.

But you can find all my notes here.

And while there aren’t any comments open on the page that I set up (why? because I don’t know how to make WordPress do that), feel free to come back over to this post if you have questions or something to add.

Finally, I would just like to mention that my fingers are tingling.

But my high school typing teacher would be oh-so-proud.

  1. Ooooo, I am just so excited to read your notes. My Bible study group met for the final time this morning to discuss, David -90 Days with a Heart Like His, and your notes touch on many of the questions we had. I’m just thrilled to learn what you heard. Thanks so much.
    I saw Beth speak for the first time this summer and almost wet myself I was so excited. She was real, honest, and loves the Lord so much. I want to love God with as much wholehearted devotion. Thanks again for sharing!

  2. Sounds as you you truly went “Deeper Still”. Thank you so much for sharing the experience with us. I can think of no greater joy than a large arena filled with women all studying God’s word together. The sound of all those Bible pages turning at once must have been awesome!

  3. Thanks for all the detailed notes…you were so kind to take the time to do that. Wish I could have been there in person, but thanks to you, I feel like I’ve had a complete overview!

  4. Good gracious, Boomama…. You’re the bomb! I took notes but nothing like YOU took notes. I feel like I’ve been to the conference all over again!!! :)

    Blessings,
    Dori

  5. Wait a second. There’s nothing there about increasing the size of my bootleg whiskey maker.

    All kidding aside, there’s some seriously good stuff there. I’m coming back again later when I have more time to think it over.

  6. Amen and Amen :)

  7. Thanks so much for sharing your notes and thoughts!! It’s the next best thing to being there, I guess! Did you meet up with the LPM Siestas while you were there?

  8. Thanks for sharing your notes – what a blessing!

  9. Thanks for sharing your notes! I got another dose of GOOD stuff! You included a couple things I’d actually forgotten!

  10. Just found your site and had to tell you that it is TOO cute!

  11. WOW…that’s all I can say…WOW!

  12. Sigh…

    I’ve missed so, so very much. It’s real nice to get caught up. Sorta.

  13. Thank you so much for sharing that with us!!

  14. The points that resonated with me were in your notes from the first session – Point #1 and Point #4. I am experiencing the truth of #1, so I am trying to hang on until the truth of #4 arrives! :-) (And yes, I’m practicing #2 and #3 until that time arrives!!!!)

    Thanks so much for sharing!

  15. fantastic notes! thanks for sharing!

  16. Sophie, you really took some great notes! I only took a few, so it was nice to go back & read yours. I’ve never been a huge note-taker, but boy, was there a lot to take in at this conference. I loved every minute of it! So glad you got to go too. I’m already geared up for Atlanta next year!

  17. Great notes. will have to go back later when I have more time to read them thoroughly. I bet it helped the words to go “deeper still” by typing them all out for your internets. :)

  18. Wow. THANK YOU. That was so what I needed to read today. I’m glad you took such great notes and shared them with your internets.

    Can we hang out in heaven, please? :)

  19. Awesome notes.

    Thanks for sharing them!

  20. Oh my gosh! I am overcome with emotions and conviction. Thank you for sharing such detailed notes. I will be coming back w/ my bible in hand. Thank you again!

  21. Thank you for sharing your notes. Great job!

  22. Sophie boomama,
    I loved your notes. I have to say when Priscilla was giving her bit I was in such agreement that I had to keep myself in my chair. I was after all on the front row and was afraid if I jumped up and hollered amen that I might get thrown down by a body guard – haha
    It was such good stuff!!
    I still can’t stop talking about it and glowing from the joy within!
    God bless,
    Kim

  23. Ok, I’ve only read as far as the fear comment and I’ve absorbed all I can in one sitting. What an amazing conference!

    And fear being my number one thing as well, I may have to sit here on “are you going to obey your fear or obey God?” for a few days.
    Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

  24. Sophie girl, you are a HUGE blessing for sharing those notes! Oh my word, no wonder you had a hard time getting it down. Don’t you just love when the Spirit pours out so overwhelmingly like that? I’m saving that page, because there’s just so much to be gotten out of it. Thanks for sharing it!

  25. Open the PAGE where you typed. Click “edit”. Now, look to the right of your text box where you typed.

    There should be a little box you can make drop down that has a box where you can click “allow comments”.

  26. Oh yeah…the notes are AWESOME! I lost mine! I’m so glad to jar my memory. I have NO RAM LEFT up there!

  27. Dear BooMama,

    First off, I want you to know how much I ENJOY coming by your blog. One of these days I want to do one too!

    I’m still flying high from attending the Deeper Still Conference in Nashville! Hey we may have been in “some line” together!

    I was so honored to go with a group of St. Jude mom’s. My son has a brain tumor and is in remission…healed!

    Most of the women I attended this conference with have lost their children to cancer. So, you can only “imagine” how much Beth’s message ministered to them. The examples she used, OK, we all felt like God was reading our mail.

    So many tears fell, as the walls began to crumble that weekend.

    We will never forget how God meet us there. We felt like the message was just for us!

    Thanks for taking time to type your notes. I lost my book there, filled with my notes. And being my age now, like Kay, I keep having those “deep moments”!

    Wish I could of meet you!

    Thanks for being such a blessing,

    Susan

  28. Wow!
    Thanks, Boo Mama.
    I wish my kids could share as well as you!

  29. Thanks for taking the time to share your notes and your heart. I, for one, really needed a fresh word this week. Been feeling a little meloncholy about all the sadness there is in the world. Anyway, you are appreciated. God Bless!
    Jackie

  30. Thank you for sharing! Great notes!!!!!

  31. Wow, great notes!! Thanks for sharing!

  32. WOW!!!!!!!!!!
    such good thoughts. i LOVE it!
    thank you….
    and i’m dying over kay’s “don’t aspire to ministry, aspire to obedience”. that’s a keeper.
    AND beth talking about the This Far… amen….
    i know my greatest ministry has come on the other side of bad stuff. “this far!”.
    :)

  33. Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Oh, and I sent you an email that someone sent me that has a link to a very powerful video. Just wanted to let you know it was legitimate email and not spam. :)

  34. Sophie – this is so good that I can only read it in bits. I don’t want to just read it; I want to wallow in the goodness of each section of notes. Thanks for sharing!

    Lately, I’ve come to understand more of David (through God’s enlightenment, of course). I always struggled with the fact that David was called “a man after God’s own heart” when he so often made huge errors in his life. (Yes, that was condescending and judgemental, but – Look! There! A Bulldog player! No, you don’t see the plank in my eye… Look! A Paula Deen Cake! Mmmm…)

    Anyway, God recently pointed out to my haughty heart that it didn’t matter that sin penetrated his life; what mattered was that David always admitted his sins, asked for forgiveness and then gave God every (EVERY!) part of his heart again and again. THAT, my friend, is the part I was missing to understand the apt description of David. Giving God every bit of myself doesn’t leave much room for selfishness or self-righteousness. That’s what I want to strive to achieve.

  35. It was so good to read through your notes and compare with mine. There were things that you emphasized that I had forgotten completely, so you definitely deepened by understanding and “take-away” from the event.

    Thanks!

    Hugs,
    Adrienne

  36. …that would be MY understanding and take-away…

    fat-fingered typing strikes again :o|

  37. Deep. I’d like to do a reference link back to your notes if that’s okay. I’m telling you, when people make blogs (like you) you have no idea what effect it can have on just one person who reads it.
    Thanks.

  38. Thanks SO much for sharing your notes! It almost makes me feel like I was there.

  39. Kay Arthur ROCKS. I love me some Kay Arthur. And I especially like her comment about not aspiring to ministry. God and I had a little chat about that very thing just last night.

    And I hope Alex is feeling better.

  40. Thanks for the notes. Thoroughly enjoyed gleaning a few “nuggets” from you.

    Have a restful weekend and hope that little man feels better soon!

  41. Thank you for sharing your notes. They really spoke to me. Things are a little tough right now and there were some good reminders that felt like they were just for me :).

  42. I know you’ve already been thanked many times for sharing your notes with us, but thank you again anyway. You know it must have been amazing when even the notes on somebody’s blog about the event seem to carry the anointing and power… Thanks SO MUCH for persevering through the challenge of processing it so you could share it with us, cuz God really wanted some of us to read it. Good God stuff!!!

  43. Thank you so much for sharing! I just went deeper this morning :) What a blessing that you shared this with the bloggy world!

  44. I’ve never commented on your blog before, but felt that I needed to say something to you after reading your notes from the “Deeper Still” conference.

    Thank you for sharing these notes and your thoughts. It was a true blessing to me. I thank God for your anointing.

    COME ON, NOW!

  45. I can’t convey the full depth of the conviction I received from reading your notes. Honestly, I think it’s about time that I quit trying to hide my sins and just confess them, and learn to walk in obedience. Thanks for posting these notes, they were truly a blessing. Ta for now BooMama!
