Spring time is here
Many times to catch you all up on!
We spent our Easter weekend rejoicing with our family down in La Grange, Texas at the Ranch. Trav's Moms sister and her husband live on a ranch and had many family members come in for a blessed weekend. Some of our favorite memories are: hanging out with Mary Beth and Austin Burns playing basketball, listening to music, playing no sun softball, Tricia riding a dirt bike for the first time, Uncle Butch's ribs, 80 brownies that were eaten, pool time= tackle travis time and many conversations.
Beach weekend at Port Aransas with some Klife Staff. We drove 6 hours to get to the Texas Coast to stay in a free beautiful home on the beach. We had so much fun playing cards, games, football, walks on the beach, laying out, watching NBA games, going to the grocery store a million times, and laughing.
Anna Alaback our sister came this last weekend. We went shopping at the Allen outlets, ate sushi at our favorite place, Blue, worked out and sat by the pool with Aunt Trese and Barbara, ate lunch at Central Market with family, watched movies and saw friends. Loved having her here!
We have found a church-Hope Works- that we love. This is a church that stretches us and reaches to the unreached people of Fort Worth. Its smaller and the pastor preaches always on scripture which is amazing. We go to a "home group" or small group on Monday nights. There is about 3 other married young couples and 4-6 singles that come. Cool story... an atheist has been attending and is intrigued that we believe Satan tempts you to do certain things and how marriage is set up in the Bible. Pray for Raleigh with us that he continues to come and seek the truth!
Travis' ESPN: Never thought this day would happen... but I think I am becoming an OKC Thunder fan...Go Thunder!
Tricia's Randomness: Travis and I have picked up Tennis. We play often because there are courts at a park within walking distance from us. We played with one of our new, wonderful, married couple friends- Tim and Brittany Watson. We met them through KLIFE and they have been such a blessing to us. Travis and I dominated and got Sweet Sammies (favorite Ice Cream/Cookie place) out of the victory.
Tuffy's Tales: Well at the Ranch, I found this grey looking shell that moved (armadillo) and tried to play with it and got scratched up on my nose and my leg..bad idea. I also found a furry squirrel and tried to smell it (possum) and Dad yelled at me..another bad choice.. I found some new Hispanic friends at the park while Mom and Dad played Tennis. There was a party going on and I became the center of attention. Hispanics love me.
Joys and Pains of Learning: We learned about the Matthew 5:5 verse "Blessed are the MEEK for they will inherit the earth."
Meek means:
Those that let the Lord control
Those that care about unity that being right
They don't have to be recognized for being right
They are just as happy for someone for an accomplishment as they would be for themselves
Those that care for the overall good of the cause rather than over all good for themselves
Those who know they stand under grace and extend that grace to others
Those that can listen and learn from constructive criticism
We know we struggle with this and we encourage you to strive to be MEEK. Personally, I thought that Meek was quiet, gentle and not outspoken..so this was awesome to learn. In everything you do, strive to be MEEK.
Love to all and thank you for reading!
