ah, finally some blog time.

it's been quite an eventful couple of weeks, full of fantabulous memories, lots of pictures, plenty of grubbing and an abundance of blessings all over! God is so super good, im so in awe of how He works in people's lives and im so unworthy of such great things, but im constantly reminded of His grace through such joyous occasions and opportunities to build each other up and grow friendships.
=========

the cfbc ladies gathered for a weekend getaway in the great outdoors (aka the navales backyard) for some late-night-munching, testimony-sharing, advice-giving and constant conversing until the sun came up...all this under one impressive makeshift tent!
Therefore encourage one another and build one another up,
just as you are doing.
[1 Thessalonians 5:11]

(we even squeezed in some late night yoga action)and as a guest of the navales, there was bound to be plenty of good eats!
tita lolit led our morning devotional about being ourselves, rejecting the temptations of worldliness and fighting the common pressures of being a girl, striving to be godly women.
what an encouraging message to start the day!
then the ladies joined the boys to prep for our upcoming vbs.
i could feel the excitement as we all came together to
prepare, practice, paint and play!

afterwards, the ladies got all snazzified for a fancy little dinner.my date for the night
and ultimate week-long accountability session partner.
then a quick little stroll around downtown fullerton to wrap up a weekend of festivities. praise God for friends to share your joys and struggles with, who are ready and willing to comfort and encourage and re-direct your focus on Christ. it was especially great to share testimonies. to see how God has worked to transform our once-empty lives in so many different ways was a true testament of how much joy can now be found through faith in Christ. i pray that God will continue to grow this community of young women and grant us the wisdom & love to edify each other.
i love you lovely ladies!
