Chi-Town
At Passion in January, Beth Moore announced that she would be holding a women's conference in Chicago with Christy Nockels (of Watermark ). Because Laura and I developed an obsession with Christy Nockels during Passion (see: the night at the Ryman that changed my life ), we made our minds up then and there that the weekend of March 10-12, we would be in Chicago. So we loaded up last Friday morning, and headed to Chicago. The conference was short, but still amazing. The lessons taught by both Christy and Beth were very relevant to me at this time in my life. I felt very blessed for being there and hearing what they had to say. Plus, worship led by Christy is enough to move anyone, I don't care who you are. She has a powerful gift of worship.
Laura and I were bound and determined to meet Christy and let her know how much she impacted us in January at Passion. So, Saturday after the conference ended we found her and were able to thank her for her ministry. She was very sweet and let us take a picture with her (see slideshow below). Laura and I were pretty pumped about the whole experience. My favorite part was as we were saying goodbye to Christy, Laura said "Is your hair naturally curly?" Laura--you can always make me laugh.
We also did some sightseeing around Chicago with my friend Collin who goes to school there. He was a great tour guide, showing us around the city and sharing interesting facts he's learned during his time there. We were able to see Wrigley Field, have smoothies and cookies at Potbelly, go to the top of the Hancock Building, see our reflections in "The Bean" in Millineum Park, eat excellent Thai food at Star Siam, visit Collin's church , and so much more. We had a great time. And honestly, getting caught in the land of a million tornadoes on the way home was fun as well.
Check out the pictures below to see our adventures. And, if you're looking for a good album to buy, check out Watermark's farewall record "A Grateful People". A-Mazing.

My kind of razzmatazz
And it has, all that jazz"
