Jason is doing well. We had a bit of a scare with his job recently. Not a scare, really, but reason to be concerned. His office (Hilton) is going through "restructuring", as are a lot of companies, and we were left wondering if he would be able to keep his job. But we found out at the end of March that he is going to keep it. So that was a huge answer to prayer.
Outside of work and school, things are still busy. Jason is part of a praise team that practices on Monday nights. On Wednesdays, I have women's Bible study and he goes and works with the youth. Every other Thursday we meet with our precious life group, and weekends are a mish-mash of down time and social obligations.
Since this weekend is Easter, Cross Timbers is doing the big Easter hoopla, as usual. I think it's going to be amazing. Jason and I are serving at the 5:00 Saturday evening service, and then attending one on Sunday. After that will be family time--probably lunch. Too bad all the grandkids are too old for Easter egg hunts. I'd thoroughly enjoy one. We should have to hunt for eggs stuffed with cash and gift cards instead of jellybeans and chocolate. A big-kid Easter! (Hint, hint family!) :) Seriously, though, I do miss dying eggs and the anticipation of looking for the loot. I'm sure I'll get to relive it all again, though, when we have kids.
Bigger than all of that is the fact that Easter is an amazing holiday! It is the celebration of the greatest victory of all time. The ferocious love of our God overcame torture, hatred and death to bring us freedom, grace, abundance and eternity. Oh that I would be reminded of the eternity that awaits me, even though I only glimpse it in a foggy mirror. The hazy shadows of what He promises are enough to thrill me to my soul and I pray that this Easter, for all of us, will simply take our breath away.
Sending love,
Heather
