Big Break

After a great flight with Abby and an exhausting day of travel, we arrived in Panama City Beach for Big Break. It was a great week with our students and friends. During the week we were there, 2,811 spiritual conversations were initiated with people on the beach. Of these, 2,206 spiritual conversations were actually held. 311 conversations were held about the Spirit-filled life and 72 people prayed to be filled with the Holy Spirit. The Gospel was presented to 1,619 people and 309 people prayed to receive Christ! What a great week...and what a great God!

Joe, Abby and I shared an apartment with our good friends Jarrod, Susie and their son Josiah for the week. It was a lot of fun. It was also a glimpse into what life would be like with a toddler and an infant! Wow! :) I spent the majority of my time with Abby while Joe had a busy conference schedule, but I was able to spend time with the students a little bit each day too. The week was a huge blessing!

Every morning we went for walks in the beautiful weather!


First time at the beach!

Josiah loved to say "ABBY!" and touch her little toes. He kept us entertained throughout the week by dancing around our living room to "Boom Boom Pow".

Enjoying our balcony

So tired after a busy morning!

My little beach baby. I love her so much.



Family time!


*Fun side note: The last time Joe and I were at Big Break together was in 2005. He was a senior and I was a sophomore. That is when we first became friends (though we kind of started out the first night of the trip as enemies!) Ask me and I will tell you the funny story sometime. We kept joking on this trip, "If someone would have told you five years ago when we were both students down here that we would be back in a few years married and with a baby, would you have believed them?" haha Needless to say, neither one of us would have believed it. Even though Joe had a big crush on that trip. ;) God is so good!
