Kelly & I had the blessing of hosting a group of girls from our church for DNOW weekend. DISCIPLE NOW is an "in-town" retreat for middle & high school students. We had 15 ninth-grade girls & two leaders in our home from Friday evening - Sunday mid-morning! When these girls arrived to our home on Friday evening, I had no idea what to expect from the weekend! To be honest, we were a bit anxious, nervous, & excited! However, as the weekend progressed, Kelly & I were tremendously blessed by having this group in our home.
The Lord really showed me that He will provide during any & every circumstance as long as I step aside and allow Him to do so. A few weeks before DNOW, we were told groups would range anywhere from 8-10 students. However, going into the weekend we had 13 students. Once Friday evening arrived we welcome 15 lovely girls into our home! Kelly & I had no idea how we would manage getting everyone to & from the church with a 15-month old baby. Like I said.... the Lord provided & answered our prayers and concerns. One of our girls - her parents traded cars with us. We had a minivan for the weekend instead of our Honda Accord.
DNOW was a life-changing time for the students, leaders, & the Host Homes! Here is a picture of our 15 girls & 2 leaders from Dress-Up night on Saturday! They dressed up as the disney movie "Up."
