This Weekend the Girls learned to DREAM ON!.....

This weekend we packed up and headed to Ontario California for the Revolve tour. The Revolve Tour is like the Women of Faith conference but for teenage girls. We took 13 young ladies with us this weekend and we were so blessed. There were many great speakers at eh tour, such as Chad Eastham, Britt Nicole, Jaime Grace, Katheryn McCormick, and Jenna Lucado Bishop. They all really ministered to the girls and they were truly blessed. There were also some great music, Group 1 Crew came and they were such a blast! Britt Nicole and fun and exciting and also Hawk Nelson played. The girls had such a great time!

  The best part for me as a leader was the chance to talk to the girls about what they learned on the way home. I don't know everything about each one of my girls lives but I do know bits and pieces. Over the course of the weekend I was listening to the teachings and I just knew that what the speakers were saying was exactly what my girls needed to hear. On the way home the girls and me got to talking and I asked them what they learned? Each one of them had a totally different answer.

One of the girls told me that she learned that a "boy need to be able to tell you to your face that he likes you and then back it up with his actions. Actions speak louder then words."

Another one of the girls told me that it is important to know who she is as a person before she is in a relationship or before she can decide who she wants to be someday.

One of our younger girls asked her mom about acting worthy and how if girls don't act like they have self worth guys wont treat them like they do and then they talked about all the things girls accept their friends calling them bad names like its a cool thing, and then about is is ok to even let a boy to full on hug you. 


These are just a few of the amazing things the girls learned this weekend. I know as a leader this was so encouraging and I was so blessed to be a part of the fun, the conviction and their dreams coming true. The conference wasto help the girls learn that dreaming is not a bad thing when you let the Lord direct those dreams. As a leader I want to always encourage them to DREAM ON!
