April Update!!

Happy Easter everyone!!!
I know, I know... I'm a little late! But why not rejoice in our risen savior everyday, right?

     Easter is always a ton of fun in our family. Each year we head to Mamaw and Papaw Miller's house and have a delicious lunch after church. This year, Amber & Ashley helped Mamaw make her famous homemade noodles! They were AMAZING! I would really like to have more right now actually =)
     Before we got to the food, however, we took the family Easter pictures. They were beautiful because Easter was just the perfect day with the best weather!
     After lunch, we moaned around for a little because we all ate too much, then prepared for our annual Miller Easter Egg Hunt! We hid eggs for the babies... well, more like tossed eggs in the yard and watched them run around and laugh!  Next, we hid eggs for the young kids. The third hunt was for the "Big Kids", which is me, my sisters, cousins, husbands/wives, etc. We're the ones that everyone laughs at because we take our egg hunting serious! After all, prizes were at stake! After our big hunt, we took a few minutes to catch our breath, then we hid some eggs for the "elders"...ha! Our parents, and even Mamaw hunted eggs!
It was a lot of fun and a gorgeous spring day!

     This past weekend, we traveled to Akron, Ohio area to sing at a benefit for a Christian School. The next morning, we drove to Ellwood City, Pennsylvania. That night, we sang at Lillyville Church of God to sing. We met some great people and had a great time! Some people were truly touched.
     While in PA , I continually took mental notes for my blog! Most of them are funny stories:
1) We stopped at KMart to buy batteries. As we stood in line to check out, I stood there zoned in at the Steelers lawn chairs, thinking "Why on Earth do they have all of this Steelers stuff?" Then it hit me... "Duh, Liz... you are 20 minutes from Pittsburg!" I completely forgot I was in PA. I giggled about it a shook my head. Mom asked what I was laughing at. When I told her, she said, "I was thinking the same thing!!" It was pretttty funny!
2) That same evening, we sang. We wore our black and yellow outfits.  When we arrives at the church, several people were calling us Steelers fans. The announcer even talked about it! Amber looked at Mom and said... "We're Steelers fans?" Mom said, "Today we are!" ha!
3) Dad and Am and Ash and I were talking to the man who booked us to sing in PA. He said, "So, you girls are farm girls, eh?" We said yes... pretty much. He said, "Well, I gotta ask ya just onnnnne question. Green tractors.... or red tractors?" Almost as if we planned it, all together we said GREEN! He grabbed his chest and said Oh, you just stabbed me in the heart. Man, I thought I was gonna like you girls, but maybe not! lol! He was a hoot! I love jokesters!

Advice for the month: Being a GOOD person does not make a SAVED person. I know many people who are wonderful and would go to the ends of the earth for others; however, if one does not accept Jesus into his or her life, they will not inherit the kingdom of Heaven. Also, when one is saved, he or she MUST remain committed to Jesus, or they will fall away from Christ. If you want to be saved, it is SO simple. Just ask Jesus for forgiveness and believe in Him... ask from the heart; not just from the mouth. Jesus loves you!
