Rainbow Retreat

 

September 28th-30th 2018, I went to the Rainbow Retreat at Camp Overlook. I loved seeing everyone and getting to talk to girls from other assemblies around the state. I was honored to give the devotional on Sunday morning. I spoke about friendship, which is one of the most important things to me about Rainbow. Brianna read some Bible passages and Kaitlyn read a poem on friendship. My favorite moment was when we all sang “Lean on Me”. The experience was such a privilege and it is something that I will remember always. Kensley, thank you so much for the opportunity.

Monte Carlo Night

Posted in Blog on December 20th, 2018 by Christi Reed

Monte Carlo night 

Manassas Assembly held an absolutely phenomenal fundraiser on November 3rd. Kensley, Mom Kim, Mom Toney, and I showed up in our fanciest attire. We had boas and lucky charms. We were ready to get our gamble on! We walked in on a red carpet and got our photos taken. Then we were give $500 in funny money that we exchanged for chips to play at the tables. There was roulette, black jack, and craps. I spent most of my time at the black jack table watching people’s money rise and fall. Delaney’s stepfather joined halfway through the night and managed to get up to $7000 in chips then lost it all on one play! At the very least, the fundraiser taught me how easy it is to lose money! I ended up breaking even with $500. Manassas had raffles set out and you could purchase a ticket for every $250 in chips you had. Unfortunately I didn’t win anything, but the experience was the real prize. I made sure to hit up the mashed potato bar and get a nonalcoholic cocktail from the bar tender. I also enjoyed the live entertainment. There were many people that got up to sing and play instruments. Kate did a great job setting everything up and they raised a lot for breast cancer research. It was a wonderful evening to support a good cause!

Murder in Manassas

Posted in Blog on December 17th, 2018 by Christi Reed

The murder mystery event was on Friday, August 10th. The girls who attended were Gigi, Akshita, Eliza, Isabella, Kate, Joella, Maribel, Dalanie, Vanessa, Selena, Zoey, Aaliyah, M’Batu, Balu and myself. My Nana, sister, and I drove over the hills, through the woods, to Kate’s house. We got there around 6:30 before it started getting dark out. I saw Vanessa and told her I liked her dress, my Nana liked it because it matched her glasses.  The girls outside walked inside and closed the door. I went to open it and was told this is V.I.P only.   That meant I had to knock on the door. When I knocked they opened and invited me in. My Nana, sister, and I were asked who we are. My Nana was a watcher, my sister was Coach Cartier, and I was Celebrity Judge Jasmine. We ate a lot of snacks and then we began the “murder mystery”.  We were encouraged to do whatever it takes, such as blackmail and lying!   We talked to people on our lists and got information. After that we all came together and BAM… Tina Texas (Ella) dropped dead!  We got envelopes and inside was money and clues.   Once again we went around asking people questions and getting information about the murder.   People were blackmailed, robbed and lied to. At the end we put all our information together and wrote down who we thought was the killer. My sister wrote down Amy Arizona and was the only one right!  Amy Arizona (Dalanie) killed Tina Texas with Tic Tics made in Arizona. We all were surprised and left in awe. Most of the girls were going to the beach the next day so they had to leave as soon as it ended but we took pictures and had a lot of fun and it was pretty cool. My Nana, sister, and I went back over the hills and though the woods back home and when I walked in the house I slept like a baby.
