Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; 26 and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” 27 “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”
John 11: 25-27
Happy Easter everyone! I hope you've all been able to take a little time this weekend to focus on what the resurrection truly means for those us of who believe. Something our pastor said this morning that really stuck out to me, was that while we would all probably say that we want to be a part of a miracle, none of us really want to be in the situation that necessitates a miracle {amen to that!}. Sometimes, things have to get hard, hopeless and desperate for God to intervene in a big, big way - and while that can be kind of scary, I hope it brings you a little of the hope it brings me this easter. He is Risen!
All things considered, it's been a pretty low key easter weekend at the Mayo house. By low key, I really mean that Jonathan has been overwhelmed with the amount of work and study he's had to do, so it's been a weekend of all day study for him, and a weekend of chill time for me. Yep, I'd rather be me right now too ;) I took a spin class, sun'd and read in the park (the weather's been gorgeous), did some photo editing (the Yashica D Ash&Tam "left" got dusted off last weekend, and oh how I forgot how much I love medium format film - photos to come soon), and then cleaned everything.we.own. One of the other things I finally found time to do, was make these delectable little treats. Bananas, peanut butter, and chocolate? No contest, amazing.
I can't even begin to describe to you how easy these were to make, or how good they are. You freeze them and they're like little ice cream bite snacks. YUM.
So, other than eating my weight in peanut butter banana bites (no amount of spin classes will make up for it), we had yet another treat this weekend! One of Jonathan's best buds, Mason, came up with his girlfriend for an impromptu dc visit, and we couldn't have been more happy to get to see them! Unfortunately because of law school insanity, we weren't able to spend more than an evening together, but it was just what the doctor ordered. We had a late night dinner at Cava (a very yummy greek tapas place down the street), followed with a little wine, easter treats, and fun conversation at the house. Wish we could have spent more time with you guys -- be sure to come back this summer! Happy Easter all, xoxo
