There was many laughs, many hugs and many tears.
While standing in line Friday night, the words of Amazing Grace were sung by those of us waiting to get in. This was so special. Why? Because, I truly learned about the amazing grace God has on our lives this past year. During the first few months of participating in scripture memory, God really spoke to me about laying down some of my past.
On Monday April 6th, I gave my life back over to Him! Thank You, Lord for taking this broken girl back into your arms.
Thank you Father for your AMAZING GRACE!!
There is so much more that I want to share from this weekend.
I put together a scrapbook capturing some of the moments.
The song playing is Amazing Grace.

What a beautiful scrapbook! That is so neat. Saw you there, however, did not get to meet you. Didn't we all just have the time of our lives. I hope to blog more with all of you and get to know you better before our next Siesta Adventure. God Bless You and thanks for the memories! Lori - aka Luv2Praise
What a fabulous scrapbook. I have been to Hobby Lobby twice in the last 2 days and am making my 2nd scrapbook EVER! And this one is my first all by myself. Still on a spitirual HIGH and thanking God for the opportunity to worship with my fellow Siestas.

Oh what a cool scrapbook! My camera died early in the event, but I think maybe God wanted me to focus my lens on HIM - you know? I have so enjoyed reading everyone's recaps and looking at the pictures. It was a wonderful weekend!
Oh that was fun!! Thanks for making and sharing it!
Warm in Alaska.
So beautiful! I am a HUGE scrapbooker so I loved getting some layout ideas, lol. Will be awaiting more on the event!

Dear Rachel,
So nice to find you in blog land! It was a treat, a real treat to meet you on the plane and get a good visit in before we even set foot in Houston. You have such a sweet and gentle Spirit.
Your smilebox was beautiful. I loved our picture in the airport - I have like 20 of that one since I think my camera was on a sports setting! Ha!
Love you. Sweet blessings to you today!
Rachel, this is an adorable scrapbook! I wonder if it's very difficult?
My hubby and I are both home today because the weather in Oklahoma is getting pretty nasty. I always sit with my laptop while he watches hunting & fishing shows. I just showed him your cute pictures and then we got tickled because all of a sudden there was one of me (with Karen). :)
I will be coming back to read your blog. I'm so glad God worked in your life back in April and so glad you were able to go to Houston. I'm still trying to come down from cloud 9!
God bless ~
Love,
Valerie
I can't get it to play. I will check back. It sounds like it was a blessing. B
I loved your scrapbook! So awesome! It was an amazing weekend!
Have a blessed day! Emmy : )
I love the scrapbook... and I was there standing beside you in line when Amazing Grace broke out. I see you shared a meal with MaryKay and Emily... I did, too! What a wonderful weekend... and hey, my birthday is April 6th! Great day!
Rachel: I loved your recap and the picture "Smilebox" is so awesome! Your pictures are so good - I especially love the "hat siestas" one!
It was a great weekend and I have been reminiscing about it all weekend already. It's cold and rainy here in my part of Georgia!
Blessings to you!
