"My desire is to create an event that appeals to women of all walks of life, regardless of ethnic backgrounds," says Lynda. "My hope is to see women come together as one to find purpose and passion for living a vibrant Christian life."
Lynda's A Woman After God's Own Heart conference provides attendees the opportunity to explore the vast territory of personal growth and discovery that can only be achieved through the desire of being a woman after God's own heart.
When asked her about the phrase "after God's own heart". Lynda says, "It's from David's story in the Bible. After all of his sins, all of the mistakes David made, God said, 'He is still a man after my own heart'. God's desires for the heart of his children is to be toward him. In my own life, I've blown it many times, but I want to be a woman after God's own heart. And there's security in knowing that God loves us unconditionally."
Lynda exudes this unconditional love and has set about taking care of troubled young women. She admits, "I have 'little sisters' all around the world. We've got a young girl who wants to come live with us from Norway in 2012. There's a young girl from Kentucky that just lived with us for about a year and I've mentored her, like a big sister. Gloria Gaither recently said to me, 'If you could mother the world, you would.' I said, 'I would. I would bring everybody home and do that.'
Lynda shared about some of the songs she's written for her 'Woman After God's Own Heart' album. "I've tried to offer something real. I know all the clichés that believers say, so I try to write creatively, to say things in a different way. The song 'I Love You Like This' stemmed from the fact that in relationships, people give you maybe two or three strikes and then you're out. But God's like, 'No, I'm in it for the long haul. And this is the way I love you.' That's the message I'm trying to share. 'Hold On' has been getting oodles of response when I do it live. It's about a man leaving a woman, in a divorce or a breakup. The second verse says you can pray and things may not be okay when you wake up the next day-that's what I mean by keeping it real. All I can say is, hold on because God's holding onto you. I can't even tell you to be strong, because I have not walked a mile in your shoes. But I know someone who's carried me over rough and rocky roads, whose arms are strong when ours are weak."
