Establish the Work of our Hands

By |2020-05-08T13:36:48-04:00October 12th, 2017|Business, Faith, Faith-Based Leadership|

I went into the weekend of our very first Narrow conference with an expectant heart. Quite honestly, I needed it like living water. I was longing for some time with women chasing hard after Jesus. That’s exactly what I got. And more. I think Psalm 90:17 sums up my experience at Narrow the best: “May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us—yes, establish the work of our hands.” I saw God at work in our hands this past weekend in three very special ways. Hands raised high in worship. We kicked off the conference on Friday night and concluded the conference on Saturday night with worship. And let me just say that I think I got a little glimpse of what it will be like when we are all worshiping Jesus in Heaven. No matter what we all brought to this event with us, when that band began to lift up the name of Jesus, He was the only One in the room and the only One that mattered. Hands trained to do His work. I had the opportunity to interview many attendees about their experience at Narrow, [...]

Making the Most of Your Conference Ticket

By |2020-05-08T13:36:55-04:00October 3rd, 2017|Business, Faith|

Our first LIVE swHw conference is almost upon us, and we are giddy with excitement over here! Needless to say, it’s hard for my brain to give thought to much else, so while it’s at the forefront of my mind, I thought I would give you my top tips to make the most out of any event experience. (And Narrow peeps, I seriously cannot wait to squeeze you!) Tip 1:  Prepare ahead of time.   Do your homework before the event begins. Most conferences post the agenda ahead of time. (Here’s ours!) By looking ahead at the schedule, you can get an idea of what you’ll need to wear/bring, plan accordingly for travel, meals and any free time, and look up the event presenters to connect with them on social media. (You could always say hello ahead of time just in case you want to ask a follow-up question during or after the event!) Tip 2: Don’t skip sessions.   You didn’t interrupt your normal life and pay money for a conference ticket to lounge by the pool or go check out a local coffee joint. Fight the urge to skip sessions for pleasure, even if you’re the only [...]

How Intentions Make or Break Your Routine

By |2020-05-08T13:37:08-04:00September 19th, 2017|Faith, Family|

Back to school, back to routine, and back to the grind! In most cases, this is a good thing. However, after living this season over and over (11 years to be exact!), I have seen in myself, as well as many of my friends, the downside of routine. Yes, the schedule-making, list-completing, “Productivity Princess” just admitted there is a downside to routine. Complacency. Discontentment. And yes, even boredom. “Wait, what? I don't think you understand how much I love routine, Somer!” Is that what’s in your head right now? Or maybe you're a woman who has always lacked the ability to find and sustain a routine - don't stop reading just yet! This is for you, too. Bottom line when it comes to routine: What we do today will affect our tomorrow, and what we did yesterday IS having an effect on today. But…routine becomes a problem when intentions are eliminated. Specifically, things come to a head when what we do becomes more important than how we obey. We stifle the Holy Spirit in the name of comfort, familiarity or pride. (You might need to go back and read those last two sentences one more time.) So how do [...]

We Think We Know Why You’ve Hesitated…

By |2017-09-13T14:22:10-04:00September 13th, 2017|Business, Faith, Faith-Based Leadership, Family|

We are less than a month from our first conference, and we still have some seats available! So if you've come up with some objection as to why you can't attend, we'd love to answer the most popular hesitations...and offer you some encouragement that might help make your decision to come spend October 6-7 with us at Narrow: I don't know anyone else coming... That's exactly why you should come! One of the hardest parts of being a Christian woman in business is how isolated we so often feel. You may come alone, but you will NOT leave alone! You'll leave resourced, encouraged, and with an entourage of prayer warriors in your corner! (Just think, you're going to be in a room full of YOU's!) I don't think I can afford a ticket... Have you prayed about it? As business women, we often try to make decisions on our own. We never want anyone to make an unwise decision, but we also know that this conference will position you for growth - both spiritually and professionally. So we're not telling you to ignore your bank account. We're just asking you to pray about it! I'm at the beginning of [...]

My Top Three Takeaways as the swHw Summer Intern

By |2020-05-08T13:37:57-04:00August 22nd, 2017|Business, Faith, Faith-Based Leadership|

Hello! My name is Lauren Croft and I had the awesome privilege of working with Michelle, James, and their family this summer as an intern for she works His way. If you’ve ever wondered what life is like inside the Myers’ household, allow me to be the one to open the front door for you. Here are my top three takeaways from this summer: They really care. Seriously, y’all. From the first phone call I had with Michelle about this internship, I could hear and feel the passion in her heart for the ministry, her family, and her relationship with Jesus. From that one phone call in my dorm room at Liberty University, I knew I wanted to work for her and her family because when someone cares that much, you just can’t help but follow suit. I’ll be honest, I truly had no idea what she really did for a living when we talked, but with as much energy and passion as she exuded over the phone, I wanted to know more. I’ve seen Michelle and the team behind-the-scenes, which I wish you all had the opportunity to witness. They work extremely hard to serve the community of [...]
