Snow Day!!

Monday morning started with a cappuccino and daily devotion with Pastor Darryl from Max Lucado's book, A Heart Like Jesus. Here's a little exert from our devotion:

The heart of Jesus was pure. The Savior was adored by thousands, yet content to live a simple life. He was cared for by women, yet never accused of lustful thoughts; scorned by his own creation, but willing to forgive them before they ever requested mercy.

"Create in me a pure heart, o God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me."- Psalm 51:10.

We spent the afternoon working at 4C's food bank. There is a lot of fresh produce at the food bank that we got to clean up. We started with husking corn then we got the privilege of cutting brie cheese into slices to package. In case you were wondering, brie cheese really grosses me out. I got to leave Austin in the produce room to cut cabbage and pumpkin while I went to stock shelves with dry foods, this was much more appeasing to me. 

Louisiana Creole with the Stebbins

The Stebbins were able to enjoy home cooked Louisiana Jambalaya. I tried to make it as mild as I could, since most Aussie's don't prefer much of a kick. 

So this is what snow looks like!

Today we made our own SNOW DAY (on one of the coldest days in 18 years)!! We drove about an hour to Mt. Baw Baw to play in the fluffy white stuff. I got a little worried when we were nearing the top and there was still no sight of snow, but the temp started dropping and at last we found snow. The roads started getting icy, so we were only able to play for about 20 minutes before heading back down. But twenty minutes of snow was good enough for this southern girl. The most interesting part of the trip was morning tea time at Mrs. Mac's Corner Cafe. Sketchy and comical might be appropriate words to describe our dining experience. I drank a lovely hot chocolate made with long life milk... yumm :/ All in all it was a fun day in the snow with great company.
