The Revolve Tour


I have just returned from a weekend in St. Louis with 7000 teenage girls attending the Revolve tour! Boy am I tired! We took 11 girls from our church and met my friend Misty there with three girls that she brought. 14 teenage girls will wear out an old woman like me! The question for the weekend was "What does your life Revolve around?" An importaint question for girls of this age. Several artist were there to share there story including Natalie Grant, Tammy Trent, KJ-52 and ZoE Girl. Speakers included Laura Wilkinson, Olympic Gold medel winner, and Kimiko Soldati, Olympian. Chad Eastham talked about what boys really think and relationships. The information shared at this confrence was invaluable for girls of this age. Friendships, eating disorders, fasion, purity, BOYS!

We had a blast fellowshiping! We did all of the fun things that you do when you are with your girlfriends! The hotel we stayed at had 25 floors. So of course we got in the elevator and pushed all 25 buttins and rode all the way up! Some of the girls were up until 5:30am! I, however, am to old for that, I retired at around 1!

I truely enjoyed this experience, and the girls were just great. I have a place in my heart for each and every one of them and I can't wait to start planning our trip for next year!
