it was a girls weekend.

This past weekend, my sister and I were honored to be able to go to Georgia to speak at a Girls Purity Day. We had so much fun and learned a ton. We loved being able to spend time with other like-minded young ladies--all having the same goal...Heaven.

The topics were modesty and keeping yourself pure. One lady from Faulkner also taught on Happiness. This one really hit home for me. She pointed out that no matter how our day is going, we need to keep a smile on our face.
Which would you choose? A smile or a frown?

A few words to describe the weekend....
picking Mrs. Melanie up and getting a box of doughnuts from Mr. Billy, getting lost using our Mapquest directions, lunch at the Chick-fil-A Dwarf House, studying God's Word on the way up, finally making it to the camp with a dirty back window, meeting new friends and getting acquainted with old ones, making our beds in the cabin and settling in for the night, a light bulb that would not work, conquering my fears of grandaddy-long-legs, butterflies in the tummy and a prayer circle, the amazing fire pit, young ladies lifting their voices up in song and getting goose bumps because it was so beautiful, a new blue T-shirt, finding out that there is over 2400 calories in one Krispy Kreme doughnut and that all the "stuff" that is in them stays in your body for seven months, losing my phone and panicking and mom finding it, eating dinner at Zaxby's, getting stuck in traffic in Atlanta, having to yell out the window to a worker for directions, cuddling up to watch Pride and Prejudice on the laptop with the sister, arriving at the Bush's house but playing a trick on the guys by passing the house, arriving home, setting our clocks back with that wonderful feeling of another hour to sleep....

"Where's the podium?" ;)

Mrs. Melanie (friend who came with us), Memory, and Mom

After the general assembly, we all divided up into four groups and went to four classes.
This was sweet Joanna's class.

Not only did the men cook and prepare the yummy tacos for lunch,
they decorated these adorable little daisy cupcakes. :)

With two of the greatest women on earth....Miranda (left) and DeAnne (right).
These were the women who organized the Purity Day and made it all happen. :)
Note: That is the immodest mannequin in the background.
We also had a modest dressed one on the other side of the stage to show the difference of dressing modestly and immodestly.

Me, Memory (my sister), Krista, Joanna, and Kristen
These were the young ladies from Faulkner University that taught the classes.
They all did a fabulous job and meeting them was such a joy.

What a wonderful weekend.

Here are two truly amazing videos that were shown at the Purity Day.

I was definitely touched and moved by them.

Young ladies, what are our clothes saying?

Are we dressing the way that would lead a guy to Heaven?

Or are we dressing in a way that would make him lust and sin?

What will you choose?
