Update.

After reading Jared's comment on my last blog I felt HIGHLY convicted to update this thing. I'm so bad at talking big, but never following up.

So...right now I'm sitting in a hotel room on Lake Geneva in Wisconsin. I flew into Chicago last Saturday and will fly back this coming Sunday...i've been here a while. I'm here to lead worship at this women's retreat for Wheaton Bible Church. Any of you Montgomery folks who read this know Brian Hogan, my old youth minister/boss. He's now the worship pastor at Wheaton Bible and his wife, Amy is in charge of their women's retreat, so they asked me to come do the worship for it. The ladies all get here tomorrow, but we came up tonight to help set this thing up and practice some. This place is SOOOOO nice!! Good thing I want to lead worship for women's stuff, bc they do things up right!!!! DANG!

Anyway, here's a play by play of my days since I've been here....Flew in Saturday afternoon and hung out with the Hogans. Sunday woke up early to be at church at 7am bc I helped lead worship with Brian (that was SOOO fun!). Monday I had rehearsal with the guys that are playing with me. Tuesday I just laid low and hung out around the Hogan house. I have a new boyfriend, his name is Tyson Hogan and he is 4! HILARIOUS! Wednesday I ventured into the big city alone and had a BLAST!!! I put some pictures of my day in the city below. Just a warning, but bc i was alone, they're either of my face or of some building. ha! And today we drove to Lake Geneva for this retreat. There will be 300 women heading up here tomorrow afternoon. They are between the ages of 24-65...woah! what an age gap! But I'm so excited to see what the Lord will do in the lives of these women this weekend. There are some women coming that aren't believers and there are some coming that have known Christ for more years then I've even been alive! I'm just so excited to be surrounded by all these women of all different backgrounds, races and ages. I pray the Lord will be magnified here! I'll post again after the retreat...just bc I know I'll be so excited to report what the Lord's doing in the lives of His women in Wheaton, IL. He's a BIG God and I just love to see the ways He's moving everywhere!

Ok...so here are the pics..enjoy.
