Last weekend I had a great time with some of the girls from church at the Revolve Tour at the Target Center. It is a Friday night all day Saturday conference for teenage girls sponsored by Women of Faith.
We met at the church at 5:30 and the girls put all their junk for the night in Paul's van and we loaded my van and headed downtown.
We heard mini concerts by Natalie Grant, KJ52 and Hawk Nelson (the crowd screamed like it was the Beatles!) There were speakers on topics that really affect the girls - like BOYS, relationships, eating disorders, and how God fits into the picture for teens today. There were probably 10,000 girls and youth leaders - to hear them all singing praises to God was a fantastic experience for the girls from our little church!
We went back to our house for the night and pigged out, hit the hot tub and watched movies.

Jenna Lucado (Max Lucado's daughter - author of 60 Christian books) was one of the speakers. All the artists shared their own struggles with following God and living in the world. There was only one speaker who was a guy. He gave the girls lots of tips on "The Truth About Boys!" and talked about the choice girls have between being a "target" or a "treasure" in the eyes of the guys at their schools.
We had a great time. If you want to learn more about the Revolve Tour, check out thier website. The tour is coming back again next fall, and groups come from all over the 5 state area. Maybe we'll have double the kids next year and have a lockin at church!
