Zephaniah 3:17

"The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."

Is that not so encouraging? =) This past weekend, I had the honor to go with 95 other women (SO MANY! Yay!) on the Christian Challenge Women's Retreat in Florence. It was truly amazing! I just love the amazing community I am involved in known as Christian Challenge. This year was a little different because instead of just one speaker, the amazing staff wives led it! It was wonderful! I know a couple of them, but it was great to just sit and talk with all of them and just get to know them all a little better. What truly amazing women God has made! =)

On Saturday night, we had a crazy dance party! Here is a clip of the chaos... =)

During free time

Tacky Christmas Sweaters!

This past thursday at Christmas Challenge, there was an idea to wear tacky Christmas Sweaters! =) It was so great! There were about 20 of us that had a tacky sweater. It made the amazing night, even more fun! Here are some pictures of all the tacky sweaters!

The MC's were even participating!
The wonderful worship team minus Erika (who we missed!)

Luke 2:14

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men

Christmas!

Christmas is coming! There is Christmas music playing everywhere, Christmas lights up, Christmas decorations on doors, windows, Christmas trees and Ornaments, and so much more! I love it! Even if it is silly! I love love love Christmas! What is your favorite Christmas memory? =)

So truly thankful.

This year, I have so much to be thankful for. I have the best family and I have the best friends anyone could ever ask for! I have one person to thank and that would be God. Thanks so much Lord for everything you have given me. =)

1 Chronicles 16:8 says, "Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done."

Friends are the best medicine. =)

Aren't friends the most amazing thing ever? God has blessed me with the best friends and I am thankful to everyone of them! =) Love you!

Truly Honored

I am so truly honored to be apart of the worship team because of these girls. I truly love them all and I am so lucky to call all of them my sisters in Christ and my friends. We have already faced quite a bit together, and I cannot wait to see what else comes our way! I love you all!! (Thanks for the pictures Erika!) =)

We are all also very lucky to have Nate and Erika as our leaders. They are some of the most amazing people I could know. =)
