Uniquely Beautiful

Last Saturday, we hosted the most amazing women's event to date at Celebration Church. We called it "Uniquely Beautiful" and every element of the day shouted this theme. Forty-eight tables were decorated by forty-eight amazingly special women. The flavor of the tables ranged from classically simple with a bouquet of beautiful flowers to whimsical butterflies and tulle draped across a white iron centerpiece. Eiffel Towers, silver boots, lighted glass vases, chair covers, picture frames, candles and even fondue surrounded the tables. Everyone had beautiful china or dinnerware, napkins and stemware. It was uniquely beautiful.

All eyes moved toward the fashion show after eating the yummy quiche and strawberries Romanov from Texas Pie Company. Twenty Celebration women of all shapes, shades, and sizes strutted their stuff on the runway. Stein-mart Boutique in Round Rock provided all of the adult clothing and 10 spunky little girls wore adorable outfits from Just Kidds and More. The music was fun and the energy was electric.

We heard the video testimony of how Celebration Church has impacted Stacy Nash and we honored her with a makeover. All four hundred and fifty women sat teary eyed as we heard about her husband's tour of duty and how she kept her four children and home in order awaiting his return. She came from backstage all made over and sassy as the last set of the fashion show began. Through the generosity of the women in Stacy's Bible study at our church, the Nash family has been transformed. Our event was a perfect marriage of fun and inspiration.

Each of these fantastic elements prepared the way for Pastor Lori Champion, our wonderful Women's Pastor, to share her life-changing message. She spoke about Deborah and the role of women: we are made to bring life; we protect in adversity; we engage through transparency; we add beauty to every environment. This was truly the best part of the morning and I was inspired once again by our Pastor's insight and anointing.

I am still thrilled about what a uniquely beautiful event we were able to host. I feel blessed that God picked me to help facilitate the outworking of our Pastor's vision. None of the special pieces of the day would have come together had it not been for the 150+ volunteers who gave their time, money, effort, creativity, organization, and love to our house!
