Walking by Faith

Katie is in grad school at south and jenny plays softball there. these girls have the most BEAUTIFUL voices and they led our worship for the weekend!
This was before one of the talks as people were still coming in.

Some of the Jaguar girls hangin out at the Retreat!

This past weekend I went to a girls retreat we had at south alabama! Troy University will have theirs next week and also the men from troy and south alabama will be combining to have a "Burly Man Retreat" next weekend!

Our theme was "Treasuring Christ" We had some awesome speakers talk about Why we should treasure christ by presenting the gospel and talking about what Christ has done for us. The conference also focused on HOW we can treasure Christ by treasuring His people (other christians) and also by treasuring the Lost (loving them as Christ loved us and sharing our faith with them)

The speakers used examples in scripture specifically looking at the lives of Mary Magdeline who was devoted to Christ and also Simon Peter. We were all challenged as we read the scripture where Jesus asked Simon Peter, "Do you love me?" when Peter answered yes the Lord replied, "Then feed my sheep." He repeated this three times and personally was challenged that our love for the Lord should motivate us to action because he first loved us!

We had about 20 girls from south alabama come and not only did we learn so much and get refreshed in our walk with God but it was a lot of fun! We had a giant sleepover and dance party of course! It was great to hang out with just the women and we wish the guys the best on their Burly Man retreat next weekend!
