I am so very proud of my ZOE girls. They have persevered til the end, and have worked so incredibly hard. I had a difficult time as president the first few months of doing this, but God is so good and taught me so much through all this. Our event that we prayed about, planned out, and successfully accomplished was a Pamper/Spa night for the women on campus.
All semester we've been meeting trying to piece this event together. We recruited Staff, Proffs, and Alumni to do the pampering for the women. They did facials, manicures, and massages. We had a licensed massuse and a pro Thai massuse doing wonderful massages for the girls, on really cool massage tables. Diannalee and Nok, were AMAZING and brought so much joy to the girls, getting out those knots from the semester:). Rachel M. did such an amazing job getting those girls in line with back massages in arm chairs-from what i heard from all the girls, it was AWESOME.
We had Mrs. Janoz, her daughter, Ilene, Liz, and Melody Laluz-Fabien doing the manicures/hand massages. They did GREAT!!! sooo much watching them do it. They got to have some great conversations with the girls while working on beauitfying their hands.
The facials had to be the most comedic section of all. It was freaking hilarious. We had Miss Hecht, Miss Behrens, Allie, Jamie, and Katie doing facials/should and head massages. They were absolutely adorable, while making the girls laugh. It was soooo relaxing, and fun to take pictures of the girls with their face masks and facial scrubs.
God did amazing work through this event. SEriously. Just with out He provided was neat to watch. I love knowing how He just knows exactly how things work out. He provided the money for food, pamper supplies, phys plant, and Ets, in incredible ways. It was such an encouragement to see the girls already lining up at 7:40 when the event started at 8. we had a few hundred girls at this event, more than we expected, but also more amazing with how God blessed it.
Herez Allie...Many many meetings of planning and praying for this event:)
Ms. Hecht was the first one to experience Jamie's facial massage.
The Holy Spirit really really spoke through Melody Laluz as well. Oh wow. He is amazing. Girls stayed behind afterwards crying, praying, and loving on each other in Christ. Melody's ministry is so so inspiring and her message was exactly what girls needed to hear to be refreshed. Three more weeks to persevere til the end. God is so good, we can do it girls!:)
Ryan was so cute cuz he looked like a little boy in a candy store. well, i mean, he was in a candy store, but he was so excited about his options of candy. the girls took no time at all helping him fill it up:).
Ashley didn't know we were coming, so we surprised her when she came home from her choir tour. We surprised her again with a plane ticket to Chicago to spend the next three weeks with us here! Its only been two and a half days so far and its been so much fun having her here!!!
