Oh my stars! Can I just tell you that I've just had the most amazing time cruising the Gulf of Mexico with a group (over 1500) Christian women. It was awesome! Now, you would think that much estrogen coupled with the plethora of hair and beauty products could make for a difficult time, but God is good. He gave us a wonderful trip — with some serious sway.
The line up was incredible — there were authors and speakers
Karen Kingsbury, Robin Jones Gunn, and Angela Thomas, Candace Cameron Bure, Shannon Ethridge, Sharon Hanby-Robie, Lysa Terkeurst, and Shari Braendal
Me, Candace, and Charity — this was Charity's favorite moment.
Musical talent – Shane & Shane, Big Daddy Weave, Jamie Jamgochian, Ayeisha Woods, Phil & Heather Joel, and Bethany Dillion
And then there was the comedy — oh, my
321 Improv and Kerri Pomarolli — they both made me laugh out loud, a lot! Funny stuff.
I was amazed by the talent — incredible speakers who brought messages that God is using in my life. I met women who touched me and others who made me laugh. I met several young women that I want to adopt — but above all of this, I was blown away by what my Lord does for me.
He knows that this cruise is just perfect fit for me and He made it happen.
There's so much more to say and pictures to share — like the ones of me singing karoake with Robin Gunn while Karen Kingsbury dances backup. How amazing is that?
When Candace Cameron asked for a picture of us — made Charity's day.
God is so good.
I just love how He gives me these fun things to do while I serve Him. He knows me all too well and blesses me beyond all measure.
Me & Charity just having fun!
Me and two of my bloggers — Roylan and Michelle. For those who don't know I write the Girls Get Away Cruise blog. You can find it at www.girlsgetawaycruise.blogspot.com
I have so much more to share — like my bathing suit decision…..
I’m so happy for you! And, well this is where women greater than I would say “I’m jealous with a godly jealousy.” But, I’m not sure mine is so godly. So, there it is. I’m just plain jealous.
Off to repent.
Oh! Forgot to tell you that I LOVE, LOVE this new blog design! It turned out GREAT!
That cruise looks like so much fun!
I am so glad God blessed your trip!
I am thinking for the next one it should definitely include some Siestas 🙂
Also maybe Kate from Jon and kate plus 8 – she would be a hoot to have along – hehe
Love ya

Sweet Mary,
I would love to buy one of your books. I smile every time I read your blogs and your status’ on FB. You were such a joy to meet and I am sure my stomach would ache if I spent a whole cruise with you. Looking forward to the days ahead and what God has in store. I want details about the BEACH TRIP!
Luv ya,
Charlotte
