Much Needed Girl Time

I forgot to update on Girl's Night!

It was one of those events that I knew I needed. This semester, I haven't spent a lot of time around large groups of girls...even small groups of girls. I was really excited to go to a night that was just for us and have an opportunity to spend time with other girls that follow Christ.

This night definitely exceeded my expectations.

We had so much fun! We did this "America's Next Top Model" thing where I had to be dressed up and had to walk down a runway for our panel of judges. It was so fun! My best shot was a little ridiculous...I have the curse of being not so photogenic. Raychel Kolofske's group won the whole thing; she deserved it...she was freakin' hillarious!

After we were done playing games and eating and socializing, we got with groups of girls in our grade and went to different stations where some of our female leaders would answer questions we had about different things in our lives. I really enjoyed receiving wisdom from people who have gone through what I'm going through now. It really calms my nerves and ensures me that if they can get through it, I can too.

After the question-answer thing, we had a time of worship. It was so amazing. We sang "I Asked You for Life" by Kim Walker - a pretty awesome song. She's such a unique female worship leader...one of the few females that actually sings upbeat songs that aren't complete cheese. I really want to buy her CD so I can add some more songs to my female worship collection.

While we lifted up these songs to God, it was an amazing feeling of renewal. I've had a tough year, and I felt like God was washing me clean and giving me a new slate for the summer and upcoming year. I guess the best way to describe how I felt would be...refreshed.

Long story short - Girl's Night rocked. I will definitely be attending it again when it comes around.
