Let's get together, yeah yeah yeah…

This past weekend I spent a glorious time up in Greenlake, WI for my church’s 3rd Annual Girls’ Getaway. It was nice to see so many of my friends. I haven’t been to small group or the EDGE in over a month because of various trips, illnesses, and the big move. I was feeling very disconnected.

My official role on the HER ministry is The Face of HER. Basically I’m the one who makes all the announcements at church and I emcee the Girls’ Getaways. All the fun and none of the work. I kid, I kid. I do find emceeing a little stressful at times. Let’s face it, I’m weird. I worry that my weirdness will scare off women from participating in activities. But so far the response to my awkward pauses and random excitement about card stock paper hasn’t scared anyone away… that I’m aware of. They even take things like this in stride:


Over the course of the weekend I got to have some much needed quiet time with God, participate in some corporate worship, reconnect with my friends and get to know new ones, ride a boat, weed a garden, play some cornhole, and even ride a jet ski!


Don’t let this picture fool you. I did not drive. I rode on the back, hanging on for dear life and screaming the entire time as I was doused with ice cold lake water.
