Treasures Women Conference 2012

Christine Martin: "Going The Distance" -God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. -Be in a position where you can be a blessing to others. -When you have a generous heart, it just means you have God's heart. -Be unique in what God has called you to be. -What do people read about you even before you open your mouth? ------- Dave Martin: "Secrets of Great Women #1" -When God is blessing you, He has more than you in His mind (so you can be a blessing to others). -Realize that people matter and show it to them. -People don't care about how much you know until they know how much you care. -Run from abusive relationship. -There are four kinds of people, those who: add, substract, multiply and divide you. -Just like a lift, people can take you up or down. -Becareful of relationship. It doesn't take many wrong people to mess things up. -You want relationsip that will increase and multiply you. -Respect the wisdom from others. Everyone around you is a well of knowledge. Always learn from others. -Successful people learn from other successful people. -Refrain from judgement. Don't jump into conclusion too quickly. -Rejoice, celebrate those who celebrate you. -Go where you are celebrated,not just tolerated. -Not everyone can be happy about the blessing of God in your life. -Favor always brings you back to the top. -Don't expect others to read your mind. Silence often waters the root of bitternes. -You are not the only person who re struggling. Many are hurting. Be attentive to others (to their cries). Look for those that are hurting. -Permit God to use you to help others. -You can save someone through relationship. -Your best quality will surface when you are around good people. Your bad qualities will surface when you are around bad people. -Treasure friendship that energizes. -Becareful who you tell about your big goals, not everyone can handle it (they can't think big). -Pray for people. It's hard to criticize someone you're praying for. -Your prayers can cancel the assignment of the enemy. ------- Robi Sonderegger: "Emotional Health" -The definition of "faith" is: I trust You, Lord. -God has 2 types of will: perfect will and permissable will. -God's ways are not always our ways. -God has our best interest in His heart. -God has created us as spiritual beings in physical bodies. -How to grow new brain cells? Exercise, fasting (no food for one day. it will produce clarity of mind), rich cognitive environment (focus on things that are pure, just, good. positive thinking). ------ Robi Sonderegger: "Relationship Revolution" -Put on love, clothe yourself with love. -All relationships are like TV cooking show: 1. (The chef will specify first what he's going to cook.) We need to decide first what is the goal/purpose of the relationship. 2. (The chef already prepared the ingredients.) A successful relationship requires us to be prepared. 3. (The chef will explain the procedure of cooking.) Have a strategy to achieve the goal. 4. (The chef will taste what he cooks. He will taste to evaluate, not just to taste.) We need to be asking ourselves, "How are we doing?" -If you do not know where you are going, you will never get there. -When we become emotional, we can no longer think logically. -Relationship: (lessons from when Jesus brought Lazarus to life) 1. Relationship is only over when you are no longer willing. 2. When you feel numb (no hope) then truly that relationship is dead. 3. Jesus tells us to do the possibles, He will do the impossibles. -Forgiveness: extending a gift even though the person does not deserve it. -Unforgiveness: drinking poison and hoping the other person will die. -The process of forgiving: letting go. Forgiveness: instant. Healing: takes time. -Forgiveness does not require to forget. Forgetting: unconcious process. Forgiveness: "Today I will let go of the memory". -How can I forgive the person who is still abusing me? God does not want you to keep being abused. Be smart, not stupid. Step out of it. You can forgive from a distance. -Forgiveness has everything to do with you, not the other person. It does not depend on: 1. apology, 2. acknowledgement from the person (that he or she is wrong), 3. you telling him or her that you have forgiven, 4. or even for the person to still be alive (you can forgive someone who is already dead). -No one ever died from a snake bite, but from the poison that stays in the body. Killing the snake does not help. Concentrate on getting the poison out to stay alive. ------ Dave Martin: "Secrets of Great Women #2" -Attitude of gratitude. -Start your prayer with thanksgiving. -Being thankful adds quality to your life. -Whatever you are thankful for, will increase in your life. -Have gratitudes for answered prayers whether that you know them or not. -The rest of my life will be the best of my life. ------- Christine Martin: "Freedom Reigns" -Activate your "happy" hormones. -Learn to laugh in adversity. It won't change your problems, but it will help how you look at them.
