Bright Lights

This past Saturday, I had the privilege of speaking at a Bright Lights retreat in Saint Joseph, Missouri. Bright Lights is a ministry dedicated to training young ladies to be strong for the Lord in their youth. The leader of this particular group is Erin Greer, a good of my family's.

This retreat's theme was A Basket of Flowers, by Christoph Von Schmid. The topic of my session for 8-11 year-old girls was hospitality. I enjoyed preparing this talk so much because I got to use a lot of personal stories and ideas. It was also challenging to me, as I studied hospitality in depth. I also wrote a skit for the session, and was so grateful to have three other ladies help me perform it.

At the retreat, I was thrilled to get a copy of Sarah Mally's new book, Before You Meet Prince Charming. This is a book on purity that I would highly, highly recommend for all young ladies.
