Spring Break
This year for spring break Cole and I were asked to lead a group from the BCM to Beach Reach in South Padre, TX. This is a ministry opportunity where students go down and offer free van rides and free pancakes to spring breakers in order to have a chance to show them the love of Christ and sometimes get to share the gospel with them. We had an amazing crew of around 20. The Lord really honored all of our prayers and gave us an amazing week of watching him do things through us. We saw two people come to Christ in our vans and even gave one girl a ride home to Austin as we were coming back. We had one of our girls get baptized in the ocean while many Spring Breakers looked on. The amazing thing is that at the end of the week all of the Spring Breakers refer to us as the "Jesus People." What an amazing thing that they know who we arealigned with. To Him be the glory forever and ever!
Valentines Day
So.....I haven't posted in a while; it's a busy month people. Actually the rest of the sc
hool year is going to fly with all Cole and I have going. We have two conferences almost back to back at the end April. Anyways, all that to say, we are your typical family...BUSY! But we took time out of our busy ministry filled lives to have a fun valentines day. Cole kept it all a surprise. Earlier in the day, Cole made me pick out three outfits, one casual, one business casual, and one dressy. I came home to find only my casual outfit there. Cole then started our date with handing me a GPS. We had certain points we had to find all throughout our date to find our destination. Our first point led us to our bikes on the bike trail near our house. We then rode our bikes to our car farther down on the trail. The next point is this amazing restaurant in Fayetteville called Mama Deans. It is some of the best soul food besides what I had from my parents growing up. And it is authentic. We visited a couple of more points before being led to the Walton Arts Center to go to a jazz trio concert. It was an incredible night. What a great start to Valentines days as a married couple.
