saving souls and winning championships

247 is all about saving souls...AND WINNING CHAMPIONSHIPS!! The Florida boys along with other Pastors of Bayside, won the annual mudbowl this year, ok they slaughtered every team, but hey we're not boasting...we just keep the trophy in the office and mini trophies around Rons rearview mirror! WAY TO GO BAYSIDE!!

Also the Spider Monkeys (me, Lindy, Ron, and Spencer) are the official champions of sports day Thursdays beating the OC (Justin, Stef, Whit, and Em) for the last time in some flag football!!OOOOOHHHHHH CEEEEE YA! 247 Elutherios definitly have a spirt of competitiveness!! Beach Volleyball anyone??

Does your belly button smell??

247 loves online globe classes...we talk about bellybutton lint and take random pictures and sometimes we even put things up our noses...WHITNEY...."Ok guys we have to be serious!"

EPIC AT THE BEACH

EPIC (and baby charley) enjoyed their monday off from school at Holmes Beach! Despite the windy weather we still had a blast playing volleyball, cooking out, and throwing Jason into the freezing cold water!! Speedos were even modeld, but thankfully i have no pictures to share.....:) EPIC ROCKS!!

2 min catch up on 247

247 Florida enjoyed a bonfire/campout out at Spencers homesponsors. We shared ridiculous and embarrassing stories, I finally wrestled Stefanie (a long awaited match in which i dominated of course) Lindy and I actually made her puke...oh Stef when will you learn?:) We roasted marshmellows, told jokes, and took stef's advice on how to stay warm inside our sleeping bags:) The next day we helped the Upton's paint a fence, we made a video, and even got to shoot his shotgun. As much as i fear guns, i shot it a couple times. We had awesome chili for lunch and made some memories! Cant wait to do it again!

LOVE IS NOT A FOUR LETTER WORD....

Who needs a significant other when you have two amazing brothers?? This year's Valentines was the most memorable one ever thanks to the boys of 24/7! Being the single ladies that God has called us to be this year, God chose to show us in a very unique way, just how much we are loved and appreciated. Little did we know that for months, Spencer and Ron were planning a very special night.... just for us.......

The night began with a goregous table for four on the lanai of the Robinson's house, complete with an abundance of roses and pedals, candlelight, special gifts & treats, as well as background music including songs hand chosen by the guys.

The meal started off with a nice salad, followed by an amazing entree of pork tenderloin, steamed vegtables, and a side of garlic mashed potatoes...served (by Ron and Spencer) to perfection!! For dessert we had warm german chocolate cake with melted chocolate chips in the center topped with whipped cream and a strawberry! Totally to die for!!!

The highlight of the night was a song written by Ron and Spencer, a.k.a. Spon offkey, that they performed on their guitars and sang for us. The lyrics consisted of memories we had made throughout the year, good ones and bad. It made me laugh, it made me cry, and it made me realize just how blessed I am to have such caring people in my life!

And if that wasn't enough, after dinner we headed to a friends house where we enjoyed virgin pina coladas, popcorn, and a movie! I can honestly say this was THE BEST VALENTINES DAY EVER!! THANK YOU SPENCER AND RON, YOU BOTH ARE AMAZING...(and you totally set the bar for our future husbands!)

let the GOD times roll

So like i mentioned in my last blog, God has been upto some pretty AMAZING things lately. Last Friday night was the night of the Revolve Tour!! The ladies of 24/7 were able to get away to Orlando for a night with some of our girlfriends in Epic. We got the chance to listen to some pretty amazing speakers, inspirational dramas, and even watched awesome performances by Hawk Nelson, Natalie Grant, and my personal favorite, One Group Crew! It was an incredible time to hang out with our youth, and sit back as we watched God change the lives of this generation.

Sunday night at Epic, love and passion drenched the room as 24/7 performed the "everything" lifehouse skit and our very own Stefanie Daily shared a personal testimony and brought the WORD!!! Students lives were touched that night as some of them approaced the crosses we had standing out, and nailed to them, problems and struggles they were facing. Watching them hang thier burdens on the cross where they belong was absolutely incredible. Living a life for Christ is a life worth living! (check out the drama we performed... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyheJ480LYA)

let the good times roll (part 2)

Superbowl Sunday was probably one of the most craziest times at Epic. Rather than our normal night of worship we turned the church into a monster chuggin, volleyball slammin, halftime brawlin playground!! check out the video and you'll see what im sayin...who says church has to be boring??
