AWAKENING GIRLS NIGHT

What could be more fun then a night with 10 teenage girls? Some people would say I can think of a lot of things! Not when they are 10 Awesome Girls! It was an Awakening Girls Night at my house. First we went to the Paulding vs Bryan boys basketball game and then back to my house after the game. Yes I kept up with the girls pretty good considering I was one of the last to go to sleep at about hmmmmm 4:30am.....thanks to Nicole, right Aimee! You might wonder what we did all night....Let's see there was DDR (Dance, Dance, Revolution!)( I wasn't good at that!) Food, Guitar Hero and a couple card games with the guys....yes the guys had to stop in to eat our food and I'm sure check out the girls! The girls did asked them to play a couple games...they didn' t put up a fight about that! It was a good thing they left or we would have kicked them out because it was Girls Only! Right Girls!!! There was fingernail painting, toenail painting and have you ever heard of Cell Phone painting? Me either... until this night...we even painted cell phones with fingernail polish...well I didn' t but they did! Someone even got their face painted with cheesecake...hmmm figure that one out. Remember all those slumber parties when we were teens!!! Always so much fun!
Ashley was home from College, my Niece Sara came over to hang out with us. There were two Paulding girls, Audrey and Amber and 6 girls from Bryan,Nicole,Aimee, Danae, Rachael, Kelly, Rachel and Emily. You can imagine that Jeff stayed upstairs most of the night ! ha After a short night (morning) of sleep our Sunday morning devotion was from Psalm 26:3 Your love is ever before me, and I walk continually in your truth. Step, by step, stairs are climbed. Put one foot on one step, another foot on the next step, and after awhile you'll find your self at the top of the staircase. You will have arrived because you began. You will have arrived because you continued! Hebrews 12:1-3 Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
You girls are Awesome and remember if you stay in a close relationship with Jesus and take one step at a time, you will not grow tired, and the enemy will not destroy you . You will have Arrived because you Began!!! You will have arrived because you continued!
Thanks for the great memories, come stay with me anytime girls :)
I love you all!
