He is Risen!

Hope everyone had a very blessed Easter!  My Easter weekend was fabulous.

The Fast fam. got all packed up and  headed to Enchanted Rock for a weekend of rest and relaxation.  On the way to E-Rock, Daniel and I stopped at The Salt Lick for some yummy bbq!  It was tasty, I have to say!  Then, we headed to Fredricksburg.  We arrived about around 4 o'clock, set up our tent, and then did a quick hike up the rock.  That night, we ate hamburgers and talked around our "campfire".  Side note, currently in the Hill Country, there is a fire ban because they are having a drought.  So, needless to say, we could not have a camp fire.  What is camping without a campfire?!?!

On Saturday, we headed in to Fredricksburg to do a little shopping.   The day was filled with good food, laughter, and cookies for our baby dogs!  We went back to camp around 3 o'clock, did another hike up the rock, this time a bit more rigorous than before.  We ate hot dogs for dinner, talked about theology, Twilight, and laughed about "Mistaca Jones".  Thanks, Nathan!

Sunday was a wonderful day.  The day was beautiful!  The night before was dark, cold, and raining, so it was neat to see how the Lord gave us a warm, sunny, and beautiful day to worship his Son.  This man that worked at E-Rock told us, "Today two suns/sons have risen".  The Fasts and Turleys worshiped the Lord together; it was beautiful and powerful!

That weekend was so good for my body, mind and soul.  It was such a wonderful time to get away and be in the very presence of the Lord.  Thank you, God, for giving us nature.  Thank you for giving me rest- which I so needed.  Thank you for your Son and his blood.  Thank you

for making "every new day seem so new".
