Waiting...
Sophie - June 27, 2008
We just walked over to the Philips Arena to see what was going on, and we immediately noticed a bunch of women sitting outside the entrance.
I thought maybe a church group was meeting to go eat an early supper or something, but then I realized HOLD ON - THEY'RE WAITING FOR THE DOORS TO OPEN.
Four hours before Deeper Still starts - and there were at least 100 women waiting for the doors to open.
I seriously hope they get the seats of their dreams. Because that is some dedication.
These ladies are from Georgia (hey, Kim!).
This is (L to R) Nancy, Cindy, Kim, Kendra, Karen and Sandy.
Sandy has been waiting since noon, so obviously she is committed. She's also from Louisiana, and if I could take her a big ole platter of boiled crawfish, corn and potatoes right now, I totally would.
I think it's important to support people with well-defined seating goals, don't you?
All of these women are so excited, and it's really heartwarming to see how they are talking and getting to know each other as they wait patiently for the doors to open. There is already an incredible sense of community here this weekend.
And we can't wait to share it with y'all.
Stay tuned.

Hey, that’s Kim from my church! She has some fantastic kids, two were in my hubby’s youth group. And she has a wonderful praise voice, which she lead our Women’s worship with. Now I need to call her and say, I found her all the way from a TX blog, lol.
