New Fun Updates from Dallas

I have recently been reading through Ephesians and Galatians and writing down all the characteristics of God I see in the scriptures.  Things like giver of blessings, father, wisdom, lavishes grace, great might, brings peace, breaks down walls.  I've then been praying these qualities back to God and try to give him the worship he deserves. First, it has enriched my quiet time by changing my focus on me, me, me to diving into who God is and why He is so worthy of worship. Second, the other day at church we were singing How Great is Our God.  When I sang that song in the past I always thought about God being great because of everything he has done for me.  Dying on the cross, giving me an awesome husband, family, and friends, a good job just to name a few things.  However, when we sang that song at church, I imaged my list of all the attributes of God that I had written down.  It was a totally different worship, and it was awesome! I have heard my whole life that God is the creator of all things, love, generous, forgiving but these qualities are now becoming real in my head and my heart.

Other funs things in Dallas...

 

We went to two Texas Rangers baseball games.  During the first game, we sat through a small rain shower, but we quickly dried up when the sun came out.  The Rangers won, and it turned out to be a beautiful Sunday afternoon.  Mercy Me had a great concert after the game.  It was an awesome surprise! 

We went with other Chick-fil-A Interim Mangers (IMs) and their wives to the second game.  We enjoyed a nice suite and some free food!  To be honest, I did not see much of the game, but loved spending time with new friends around the chips and queso.  

Easter Sunday we went to a nice park in what people call the "Beverly Hills" of Dallas.  We joined another IM, his wife and their two children for lunch and some frisbee tossing.  It was a beautiful afternoon, and the view was awesome.  The house across the street was worth about 5.4 million dollars and has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms (according to Zillow) just an example of the houses in that neighborhood.  We saw several cars drive by that were over $100,000.  Definitely a very nice part of town!  Such a great relaxing day!
