Worship Weekend

A few girls from work and I ventured down to College Station for a worship concert Saturday night.  We started with breakfast in a small cafe in Hearne, Tx.  Then, we went and visited the George Bush Library.  I loved learning all about the history of his life and the things he was involved in and the impact he had on our country.

There were a few quotes that really made me think as we toured and this is the first one:

George was just 19 when he was flying jets and leading missions and escaping from enemy territory.  This quote is so accurate...they were just kids, but they fought like men and many lost their lives for their love of country.  It made me wonder if today's 19 year old men would have the same bravery and courage?   In a society where some parents now save their children from any failure or disciple or consequences... I wonder?  Is our society as strong as it once was back in those days? It challenged me to be more diligent in raising my 4 young men to be honest and strong and brave and courageous...even if that meant using some tough love with them.

The second quote was this one:

Wow!!  We need more of this.  Leaders that listen, a society that listens, individuals who listen...not just talk all the time.  What if we responded in love instead of pushing an agenda?  What if we met someone who disagreed with us and we still loved them anyways?  Loving does not mean we condone the actions if they are wrong, but rather we value that person and pray for them.  It's a fine line to walk, but can be done!  

At the end of our tour we were able to sit in the Oval office as it looked when Bush was President and visit a board room.

Our last activity for Saturday night was the Roadshow Concert at Reed Arena.  There were 6 different artists there to perform a night of worship music and we had the best time.  They all had a different style but the same message.  I always leave filled up after worshiping in a stadium that large with so many people!

Sunday morning we hit the movie theater before heading home so we could see I Can Only Imagine.  The theater we found had luxury loungers that were so nice!!   We kicked back and watched enjoyed a wonderful movie. I highly recommend it!  

It was a fun little road trip weekend with some great ladies!!  I am thankful that the Lord has brought us together and that we were able to get away for some much needed laughter and rest!
