Saturday morning I journeyed with some of the other leaders of our women's ministry team to see Priscilla Shirer live. It was wonderful to just attend the conference (and not work one!) and be with some women who have had such great influence in my life. Our time was so filled with God's presence as we studied Gideon, sang some amazing songs (Priscilla's brother led us in worship and was on The Voice last year with Christina's team), and prayed some incredibly moving prayers. It was a really sweet time.
Geoff picked me up after this and we headed to our first ever crawfish boil. My wonderful in-laws watched the little ones, so that we could have an adults-only evening. The weather was awesome, and crawfish are actually pretty good. The party was put on by a friend of Geoff's from his small group who grew up in Louisiana. The crawfish were flown up from the good ol' South the night before. Really? I didn't know people really did that!?
On Sunday, we headed to Warsaw where Geoff spoke with a few others about his experiences and life-changing trips to Niger. They were literally the sermon for this small Baptist church. It was really sweet to be a part of the small, traditional service, and I know there will be a few more folks heading over to Niger as a result of what they shared. We all enjoyed a delicious brunch at the Inn of Montross (a true hidden gem) after church. It was really an awesome weekend and a nice change from the last several weekends of men and machines...
Actually, the last few weekends have been really nice. With Grandma and Grandpa here, we had some good really family time, and the men had some nice bonding time working on clearing the land to prep them for pastures. It is going to look so pretty, and I can't wait to see our cows out here! One step closer to official farmers.
