This year we will be carrying our conference theme "Finding Joy in His Promises", through the entire year. Our theme verse from conference, Nahum 1:7 is about God being faithful and merciful, protecting, helpful, and caring at all times. Scripture says that God is a stronghold and He will be there for us in times of trouble. Being there for me means that He will keep His promises and I can rejoice, or be joyful, as I am reminded of those promises.
Genesis 9:12-17 is where we read about God's promise to Noah to never again flood the earth and that the rainbow will be a sign to all of us that God will keep His promises. That is why I choose the rainbow to remind  of God's promises if we will just trust Him; we will find much joy.
Christian womanhood will be advanced as we remember to turn to God in our times of need and in our times of praise because we will always find Him waiting there with arms open wide.

The Lord bless thee,
and keep thee;
The Lord make His face
to shine upon thee;
and be gracious unto thee;
The Lord lift up
His countenance upon thee,
and give thee peace.
~Numbers 6:24-26
