Joyce Weekend

This weekend Joyce Meyer came to Houston and mom and I went to see her. We have been able to go for the past 5 years and it has become something I look so forward to each year in November. We stayed at the Westin Galleria this year and it was really nice...keyword Galleria!The conference started on Thursday night, Friday night, and ended this morning. I took off work Thursday and Friday and it was such a relaxing and refreshing weekend both spiritually and physically.

Hillsong Worship Team

The conference was held at Lakewood Church. The Hillsong Worship team did all the worship at the conference. It is so awesome to be a part of praise and worship with thousands of chrsitians in one place.

Sometimes you just need to get away for a few days and treat yourself a little. We definitely treated ourselves this weekend.....we ate at my favorite restaurant,The Cheesecake Factory, went shopping, ate chocolate mouse cheesecake, got Starbucks coffee, ate tomato basil soup at La Madeline's (another one of my favorite places), relaxed, and heard great teaching from the Word. It was a great weekend!!

On our way home today we happened to find this great barbecue place called, Goode's Barbecue, to stop and eat lunch. It is off 59 on Kirby and it was the best barbecue I have ever eaten. Mom's favorite food is barbecue brisket so she was in heaven and she loved it as much as I did. It was a great way to end our trip.
