D-NOW 2011

This past weekend my church had a Diciple now weekend, it was AWESOME!! We started out at the church Friday night.  Meeting all the guests and friends, I was expecting it to be like any other year...nothing much.  Then we went to the sancutary for the first night of worship.  Travis said a prayer, the band started.  My kind of brother playes drums in the band. (By "kind of brother" I mean he is me older brother's friend who lived with us and spent two Christmases with us, I think that makes hima brother.)  The band was amazing!  All they wanted was te focus on God, not about them at all.  They sang a few new to me songs "Like a Lion" David Crower Band and "Your Great Name" Nataile Grant, I LOVE these songs.
Then my group (11th-12th grade girls) go to our host house and family.  They were the best family!  Mr. Shane and Mrs. Angie Thorton with Zack and Cara (Zack 4ht grade Cara kindergarten).  Mr. Shane is a Dept. Sheriff for our county and is hilrous!  We start our Bible study fo the night then go to bed at a record time of 12:30!  Considering there is only three of us and we get alone great that was easy.  We wake up the the smell of bacon sauge and overly peppered eggs (inside joke) made by the great parents of the weekend.  do another Bible study and first attempt to bet Mr. Shane's record on Zack's Rubix Cube game thing (you know the one where you touch the lit up buttons?)  Then we head to the church or lunch and rec. with messy games....  The best one was ultimate frisby with eggs.  Goal is to get the egg one the other team's person's head...I got egg in my hair!  My best friend chugged milk, but the yourth goup refused to dring butter milk!  After that we went back to host house for showers...Becca needed one (butter milk, egg, and milk is not a good combo for the noise).  We went back for another worship night... AWESOME!!  I LOVED it, got some business taken care of with God etc.  Then last Bible study and ice cream sundays and board and card game.  We went home, Becca bet Mr. Shane's record of 94 she got 125, so tired we went stright to bed but as usual when me, Kaylyn and Rebecca are spending the night together we had a famous "Late Night Talk" but again was going t sleep at 12:30!  Woke up to pancakes and bacon!  Packed up, took a group pic., and Cara was telling her mom "They can come back to night or sometime and spend the night, right?"  It was cute (we taught her Anti-Justin Biber songs we made up ;-) ).  We went to church in jeans and Dnow t-shirts.  for last service.  Again AWESOME!!  This year was the best year!!
