“Behind every influencer is a story…”
These words began to resonate in my heart many months ago as I traveled across the U.S. meeting the most amazing women. As they would share their stories with me I just kept thinking, “People have to hear this!” Each of us has a story to tell, one that influences others. Each one tells of joy, pain, disappointment and through which the beautiful lines of God’s love, faithfulness and grace are penned. I heard a song this past year that describes this so well…
“ If I had the words to tell you exactly how I feel
Then I could fill a million pages with all you’ve done for me
And if I traced each memory and the source of
all my dreams
Cover to cover you’d see …
… the story of my life is you.”
Shannon Wexelberg, “Story of My Life”
Storytelling has been a way of life throughout history. It is the trademark means for influencing each generation and passing down heritage and family identity.
A common “place” for storytelling is the front porch. We invite you to join us on our “porch” February 19-21 in the Omni Hotel at CNN Center in Atlanta, to hear the God-written stories of His family’s women. It will also be a great opportunity to tell your own story to old and new friends! Some of you may remember the national gatherings of Foursquare Women in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1995 or in Tulsa, Okla., in 1998. We pray Atlanta 2009 will be another weekend to remember as we inspire, challenge and commission a new generation of influencers! We want you to leave with the confidence that:
• All your days were ordained and written in God’s book.
• He empowers you as you tell your story.
• You are a woman of influence!
See you in Atlanta,
Tammy Dunahoo
Foursquare Women Director
