Easter

And if Christ has not been raised,

  your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.

  1 Corinthians 15:17

 

Easter. A day so crucial to Christianity that our faith is "futile" without it. 

I was privileged to spend another Easter weekend at my church home with my church family. Our pastor preached an amazing message that addressed skeptics and dug deep into the Truth behind the Resurrection of Jesus. If you want to listen to it, it will be posted here sometime soon! :)

With each passing year, I feel more and more excited about this holiday; moreover, the closer and deeper I grow in my relationship with Jesus, the more I cling to the victory in His resurrection. Here are some photo highlights from this Easter weekend...the best one yet!!

these girls : leading worship with girlfriends is one big singsong/dance party...so. much. FUN.

My family attended the last service, and we headed to the club for an enormously fabulous lunch afterward. (Thanks, Dad!)

Our dear friends, Mallory + Kyle Hoidal, joined the Davis/Houston fam at lunch. Since their families aren't from Charlotte, we were so happy to have them celebrate with ours!!! And Mal brought her awesome/fancy camera, so we got to snap a few non-iPhone pics after our meal. :) 

family...

...and friends who are family!!

And of course...a "food coma" ensued after the meal. Complete with sweatpants and naps on the couch.

How come the one of us who didn't get up at 6 AM is asleep first...? :)

We ended the day by watching the finale to The Bible, which was a commitment considering Time Warner Cable didn't make it that easy. I want the boxed set because of all of the cable blips along the way!

I hope y'all had wonderful Easter weekends too! You are always in our hearts and prayers, English family! xx

The next stop for the Houstons...SAN FRANCISCO! Our year of travel has hit the ground running. We are blessed. Can't wait to see you Wednesday, London + Juls!!!!
