jupiter, fl
I am letting everyone I know that I rode a moped on my girls trip to south florida & that I felt really cool, helmets and all.
Back in January we were everywhere from Jupiter to West Palm to PBI to the Keys to Fort Lauderdale. It was a blast and a half! Two of my girlfriends surf, so the rest of us felt cool simply being around them. I actually ended up learning a lot of surfer culture from them too [do you long board or short board? I’ve for sure dropped those terms in conversations since I was there]. We tried Key Lime Pie on a stick in Key West and that was super yummy! We rode mopeds there too! We watched the sunrise and the sunset with Jesus. We ate many Pub Subs as well as grilled out and had a candle lit dinner al fresco, of course. I had scallops for the first time since May 2019 and it was lovely [if you remember the last time you had something that’s when you KNOW it’s good food]. We were also able to share the gospel with this couple one night and it was such an encouraging and beautiful experience. It’s a memory I will never forget, especially being able to do that with your girlfriends. Especially being able to watch your girlfriends thrive in obedience to Him.
What’s cool about these girls is that you consistently feel called higher in their presence, but never in a condemning or holier than thou manner. The way each of them let Jesus guide them through the day to day is unique and beautiful. We each have different gifts and what is beautiful about the fellowship of believers is that God works together each of our gifts for His glory. The girls and I are all very different from each other, but our hearts for Him and our dumb senses of humor is what makes these girls oh so special to me.
I have always wanted to go on a girls trip in college ever since I saw a photo in fifth grade of my mama on her trip to the Grand Canyon with her girls. God was kind to work it all out so we could go down there and just be.
Here is a photo dump of our trip! Kicking myself that I forgot my film camera for mopeds in Key West , but as cheesy as it sounds I will never forget it : )
