Spring Concert

Just wanted to share some backstage photos from my Spring Concert last weekend.  most of these are of my friends, because i was usually behind the camera, but i was able to get a picture with Kaitlyn!  i'm so glad she could come.  it's always so much fun performing, i wish it wouldn't end so quickly.

ps.  yes, that is a male mannequin-head in our dressing room.  creepy, i know.

Club 180.

The weekend of May 3-5 I got the opportunity to go to Cumberland, Kentucky and serve at a ministry called Club 180 for a middle school girls Tea Party and lead worship. Club 180 is a ministry run by lifelong friends of my family. They are originally from where I live, but moved to Cumberland, Kentucky about seven years ago. I had never been before, so I didn't know what to expect. The town is so little and so broken. It was kind of like Haiti from what I heard, but more filled with drugs and alcohol, and you can guess what else. I went up there to sing at the tea party, as I said before. It was girls in 4th-8th grade that Mrs. Angie, one of the lifelong friends I was talking about, had been mentoring to all year long.  We prepared food the night before and served it the next day. There were about 30 girls there for the tea party. The theme was about being a daughter of The KING, making them princesses, so they all got tiaras and looked so beautiful. I sang two songs for them - "10,000 Reasons" by Matt Redman, and "Not For a Moment" by Meredith Andrews. To see them sing along made me so happy, and it was a feeling I can't explain. I was asked to sing at their church the next day that was held in the Club. There were about 6-8 people there for church, and I sang the same songs for the church with one additional song - "To You Be the Glory" by Glory Revealed. It was an experience I will never forget. I am planning to go back up there this summer for a week or two and lead worship and minister to the middle school girls at their summer day camp. 

Here are some pictures from the weekend: 

 These are pedafours (sp???) that we made for the tea party. I did the dots on the flowers :)

 This is Jennifer Hart. She's a Christian recording artist. Check her out! She's absolutely amazing. She sang in and ampitheatre cave type thing on top of a mountain there called "Kingdom Come." That's where this picture was taken. She also sang at the tea party.

 More pedafours (sp???). They were sooooo good.

 The setup of the serving table! I thought it was adorable.

 The tiaras for the girls. I love this picture.

 Door prizes for the girls and their moms. 

 I just thought the pedafours were pretty okay.

 Leading worship at the tea party.

 This sign was cool to me. It was on the way to the amphitheater. 

 The team that came with us to help with the tea party! Mrs. Angie is the one in the pink and black shirt.

Me and my mom :) 

 Jennifer Hart! I love her so so so much.

The shirts for the club. I have a black one!

I couldn't ask for a better weekend. I was so blessed throughout the whole thing. 

To kind of end this post with the "theme" of the weekend, I challenge you to memorize Proverbs 31:30 - "Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears The Lord is to be praised." Love you all!

Two Nutella Recipes

In case you don't know, i kind of really like nutella.  it's a little bit of an obsession.  so here are two recipes that i absolutely love love love:  
1. Nutella milkshake.  i think this might just be the best milkshake i've ever put in my mouth.  like, seriously.  It has frozen bananas and Nutter Butter's in it too, which helps make it so amazing.  {here is the recipe}

2.  Banana and Nutella "ice cream".  this one is a little more healthy than the other recipe, i'd say.  yet it's still ah-ma-zing.  Just cut up a banana and freeze it for 2 hours or so, then blend it and add a spoonful of nutella!  {i found the original recipe here}

enjoy these tasty treats!  ♥, lynn

ps.  yes, i do indeed have an i heart nutella tee.  

Jam of the Week!

I haven't done one of these in a while, but I'm getting back on track!

The song I chose this week is "Just Give Me A Reason" by P!NK ft. Nate Ruess (the lead singer from FUN.) This song is gfinowfgoj0EGAIWosd AMAZING. It's phenomenal. I'm sure you've heard it on the radio, but who cares. It's amazing. 

You can listen to it down below: 

If you have any song suggestions for me, email them to kait.lynn5900@gmail.com - I'm always open for new music!
