I realize I really have no room to whine about forecasts when Tamar has been trying to train for a marathon in between bouts of nor'easters, but what in the ever loving world is up with the Indiana forecast this weekend? Significant snowfall? NO!!!!
When I took the kids to school yesterday, I mentioned there was a chance for snow this weekend, and Sister piped up rather loudly, "BUT I PRAYEDED FOR SPRING TO COME!" I prayeded for it too, Sister.
So happy Friday, happy spring break to those of you enjoying some time off, happy snow day to those of you who have to shovel, and I think that pretty much covers the greetings I can offer this fine day.
Can you handle one more peek into the speaking world this week?
Last fall, a church about an hour from us reached out to see if I could speak at one of their women's events. It was supposed to take place in January, and I was all excited about serving them! As the day approached, so did questionable weather forecasts (imagine that, Indiana!) so they decided to postpone the evening until spring when the weather wouldn't be an issue.
I thought it was very wise of them. And I was certainly glad about it, because when the original evening came, I was flattened on the couch, shivering with the flu. (That was right before my weird bout with pink eye.) God knew, and He had the whole thing orchestrated for us!
So they rescheduled the evening for the first actual day of spring. And wouldn't you know, a couple of days before the evening arrived, they started predicting snowfall! (It did happen, but not until late at night after everyone was safely home.)
The evening started out a bit on the interesting side. We left home and got about fifteen minutes down the road when Ryan realized he didn't have his phone with him. We were going to be gone long enough that we both felt like he should have his phone on him, so we had to drive back home and start over. Then we got stuck behind a huge tractor. (I'm not complaining...Ryan's family farms, so I have respect and understanding for slowing down for famers. It was just comical at that point.)
We finally arrived with a few moments to spare, and Ryan helped me get all moved in and set up. He's the best!
The ladies were very sweet, and so was the dessert spread!

I love seeing you speak!
And yes....where is spring!
It started snowing Tuesday evening and school was canceled on Wednesday. We only got about three inches but in southern Ohio, that's good enough :). We have a winter storm watch for Saturday. I have that exact same chocolate fountain as the one pictured in your post and now I wanted melted chocolate very badly.
We so enjoyed your being at our church, Bekah! It was a great message and a great evening. Friends and chocolate! What's not to like?!!
Amen about spring. Please come stay. I’m done with winter.
