Going Beyond w/Priscilla Shirer

What a great weekend! Me, Mom, Jane, Kim, Amanda and Auntie attended Priscilla Shirer's Going Beyond event at Long Hollow Baptist Church Friday night and Saturday morning. For those who seek more of His mercy, more of His grace, more of His word, and more of His heart, this was the place to be. Priscilla delivered a wonderful message from the Book of Exodus about Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt. We "camped out" in Exodus 13:17-18 where we learned that there are times in our lives that in order to cross over into "The Promised Land" we must first flee from the person (the enemy) and the place that the enemy is ruling. Just as Moses was the Israelites deliverer, Christ is ours. If you don't know Him but would like to know Him, I would love to tell you about my Saviour (2 Tim 1:10), my Lord (Acts 2:36), my Shepherd (1 Peter 5:4), my Friend (John 15:14), and my example (1 Peter 2:21). When you meet Him, you will never be the same!

Below are Kim, Jane, Amanda and Auntie. We had perfect seats Saturday morning; dead center about 8-10 rows from the stage (thanks to me getting up at the crack of dawn to get there!). Actually, I wanted to attend the prayer session at 7:30 about an hour before the doors opened. It was definitely worth getting up a little bit earlier for.


What's one of the best things about attending a Women's Conference....eating out! Here we all are at the Rain Forest Cafe in Opry Mills. Yummy!!


Mom (isn't this a good picture of her!). I just love her!!!!!

The Art Institute of Tennessee - Nashville

Lauren & I went to an Open House at AI this past weekend. We had a great time touring the campus and learning more about their programs. When we walked in the first thing the staff said to Lauren was..."What program are you interested in? No wait...FASHION". They said they could spot a fashion student a mile away! She just smiled. By the time we left I think we both knew we had found her school. She loved it! They also offer off-campus housing just a mile down the road in a wonderful gated apartment community. You have four students to an apartment with all students being in the same program so her roomates would all be fashion students. Perfect! She'd still be close to home yet begin to gain some independence living on her own.
