here is our god

just over a week ago, i had the opportunity to travel to orlando, florida with my dear friend, jenn, to attend the gospel coalition's women's conference.  it was a refreshing weekend, listening to the speakers and worshiping with 3,500 women.  the theme of the conference was {here is our god}, so most of the messages were focused on how god's presence was displayed throughout the bible.  i took lots of notes, so i will have lots to dig through this summer.  {here are some more pictures of the conference}

speakers included:  tim & kathy keller, don carson, john piper, paige benson brown, carrie sandom, nancy guthrie, jenny salt, nancy leigh demoss, and kathleen b. nielson

worship led by the gettys:  beautiful and authentic

memorable moments to remember:

• getting lost on the bus system for nearly two hours {counting our dollars to see if we could afford another bus ride, the mears' transportation guy judging us-thinking we couldn't afford a $19 shuttle ride}...what can we say?  we're country girls at heart...
• accidentally sleeping in until 11:00am {only to find out that was the only morning there would be sunshine since the rest of the time tropical storm debby gave us terrible weather}
• hot tub and lazy river late at night in the rain {and convincing the pool boy to give us a few more minutes after closing time}
• "i bet he's not going to ask chase and i where we're going {random guy in response to the starbucks guy trying to have a conversation with jenn}

they had a fun photo shoot area:

and just for fun from our night at downtown disney...
