Relevant Conference Update

That word holds so much more meaning to me than it used to.

After checking into the conference, I went up to my room and began to go through the goodie bag that I had been given. There in the bottom, almost lost amid the books and leaflets, was a small black bag with a silver necklace inside from the vintage pearl.

I liked the design of it. I’ve liked what I saw on the vintage pearl website in the past.

But will I wear it? A necklace for a conference? It seems kind of cheesy.

“No it isn’t, because you are.”

“I am what Lord?”

“Relevant.”

“Huh?”

“Relevant. You are relevant TO me. You are relevant IN me.”

“Oh.” I whispered with a catch in my throat and eyes about to spill over thankfulness for my Savior who loves even me.

It has become a cherished necklace that holds far more meaning than what is seen on the surface.

And yes, it is being worn. A quiet reminder to me of a conversation with my Lord.
