Spring Snow?

Since when does it snow at the end of Spring Break...in the middle of March...when the temperature was 40 degrees higher 12 hours before??? Yes, in case you have not heard, Dallas received a good 2 or so inches of snow last night that lingered on until this evening. There were light flakes being swept around by the wind when we went to bed last night, but imagine our surprise to find a winter wonderland when we opened our windows this morning! Good thing we took in all our new plants yesterday afternoon...

Other than that, it has been a pretty regular week for us. We went to dinner with Katie's Dad this past week, which was a nice treat. Katie kept busy with yoga and circuit training, and Chris continued to work and unwind with his hobbies. Note to anyone curious about yoga: it's harder than you can imagine, but it's very rewarding. Try 90 minutes working out in 98.6 degrees and 60% humidity...bring it on swimsuit season! Not only that, but after this month's circuit training, Katie might qualify to try out for a collegiate football team (ok, maybe just high school). Her trainer has her flipping tires, swinging a sledgehammer, and doing all sorts of intense stuff that Chris would love to witness for himself. Finally, the Aggie Basketball team made a good run for it in the NCAA tournament, but fell just a bit short tonight. Like we Aggies like to say, "There's always next year!"

Instead of a Bible verse this week, here's the chorus to a song that has meant a lot to me recently. There are tons of songs that have touched my heart since starting to listen to Christian music radio, so this will probably continue - heck, I might just make a special post if God has touched my heart with a particular song that day. I encourage you not only to look up these songs and listen to them online, but try tuning into those radio stations. It's a great way to redeem driving time, calm down, and refocus. Hope you enjoy!

"Be strong in the Lord

And never give up hope

You’re gonna do great things

I already know

God’s got His hand on You

So don’t live life in fear

Forgive and forget

But don’t forget why you’re here

Take your time and pray

And thank God for each day

His love will find a way

These are the words I would say"
