Rain! Easter!

If it's not one form of precipitation, it's the other. Rain...will it stop soon? It has been raining for two days now and I long to see sunshine! I hear tomorrow is supposed to be mostly dry...this makes me happy!
As you all know, Easter is this weekend! My church is also in revival this week with BJ Walker. I have never heard Bro Walker preach but I have heard many good things about him. I am excited about this revival and what God is going to do for us in it. I am praying that God would reveal the Easter story to me in a new way this year. I have grown up in church and I feel I know the Easter story very well. But I want it to become alive to me this year. I don't want to forget that Christ died in order for you and I to have Eternal Life. I am so glad that He did not just die, but that He was resurrected! Christ truly made the greatest sacrifice!
I will be posting pictures of our senior banquet soon!

Snowed In!

Snow! According to Dictionary.com snow is: a precipitation in the form of ice crystals, mainly of intricately branched, hexagonal form and often agglomerated into snowflakes, formed directly from the freezing of the water vapor in the air. There are times when I am very happy to have snow covered roads and then yet other times when the roads are covered in snow and there is some place I would like to be rather than where I am planted. For instance, when one is in the dorm early one morning and a voice comes from across the loud speaker announcing that school has been cancelled. I cannot begin to explain the feelings I get when I have heard these wonderful words, and then I crawl back into bed without a concern about going to class. These feelings are beyond explanation. This excitement was not granted to my fellow students and I this past Friday. Actually it didn't start snowing until late morning, when we were almost finished with our classes. Even though I was very saddened by the delay of snow fall, I am enjoying this beautiful winter storm that God has showered down upon us! Everyone was pretty much stuck here this weekend. It was nice to have a weekend where everyone could relax and have fun. I think that I played more games this past weekend than in the last 7 years of my life! It was truly a relaxing weekend!
