Last year I attended the Women of Faith Conference in Phoenix. At one point there was an announcement about a conference similar to Women of Faith but for teens. I tuned in quickly to listen to all the details. I was soon filled with excitement thinking that would be perfect to take Karlee.
Then a few weeks ago I heard about the Revolve Tour on the radio. I also heard that they were going to give away tickets. I decided I would try to win tickets. I wanted to take Karlee so bad but I knew that we didn't have the money. I told my husband that I was going to try to win tickets. To do so you had to be a follower on Twitter. I didn't really know what Twitter was but that didn't stop me from looking into it. It is similar to Face Book. I signed up for an account and found the radio station and clicked on it to "follow it".
A few day later I got an email saying that I had just won a CD, Hawk Nelson. In the email I had to confirm my address so they could mail it me. I was excited to win the CD but I was still going to hold out for the tickets. By now I had heard that you had to submit a letter explaining why you thought your daughter should go to the tour. I sent a message on Twitter inquiring the details so that I could get my letter written and sent off. I think I mentioned briefly in that same message that my daughter would greatly benefit from the event.
A week went by and I didn't receive a reply. Three days later my phone rang, it was a number I didn't recognize. I almost didn't answer it. I said "hello" and the ladies voice on the other end asked me if I was Katrina Trevathan. She continued to tell me that her boss asked her to call all the people who recently won something and ask if they would like tickets to the Revolve Tour.
I called my husband he almost didn't believe me. He told me that he had heard about it months ago on the radio and said to himself that he would love to send Karlee and I. We were both excited about the opportunity that awaited Karlee and I.
