A Princess with a Purpose!

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

Yesterday, Lynette, Jennifer and Jaimee were blessed to attend a High Tea with Christian girls in the San Antonio area. It was titled “Princess with a Purpose ~ A High Tea Era and mini Titus 2 Bootcamp.” The focus was on the importance of a daughter’s role and her sphere of influence under her father’s direction. Genevieve, from New Zealand, shared how we can use the “armor” found in God’s Word and have the tools to support us in serving our fathers, our families, and our King. What influence do you have on those around you?

Jennifer’s trip to Virginia

Monday, August 21st, 2006

One of Jennifer’s best friends was married on August 5th, and Jennifer had the great privilege and honor of traveling to Virginia for the wedding.

Kelsey and I met back in 1996 at ATI’s Young Ladies’ Counseling Seminar, and have been blessed with a sweet and lasting friendship. She is a great example to me in her love for the Lord and also in how she has kept and guarded her heart for her husband. I enjoyed my trip to Virginia, and had so much fun with Kelsey’s family and friends.

After hearing I had never shot a gun, one of Kelsey’s brothers was very eager to teach me how to shoot!
