Strawberries and Switchfoot

David was great to me on my birthday. He prepared a book for me that had advice for my 24th year, and each bit of advice was a clue to something fun we were going to do!

All of the clues were great fun, but the first was one of my favorites. It led us to: Froberg Farm is in Alvin, TX, and is an absolute delight! It took us awhile to get there, and as David was driving me farther and farther away, I had no clue where we were going. This was quite the surprise.
At Froberg's, depending on the season, you can pick fresh fruit! Strawberries are in season now, and we got so many WONDERFUL strawberries. This was such a fun experience and I will never forget it! We might just go back when blackberries are in season!!!



Another favorite part of my day was hearing David sing to me. I love to hear David sing 24 by Switchfoot, and I remember the first time I heard him sing it like it was yesterday. What was a simple drive down 99 turned into a memory I will never forget.
I love the words - I love to declare that He is raising the dead in me, that I am the second man. And not only do I love to sing along, but I love to hear David sing this too, to hear this man that I love so dearly proclaim that he is being changed into the second man, that YHWH is raising the dead in him too.

"And You're raising these twenty four voices
With twenty four hearts
With all of my symphonies
In twenty four parts
But I want to be one today
Centered and true

I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You
You're raising the dead in me
Oh, oh I am the second man
Oh, oh I am the second man now
Oh, oh I am the second man now
And You're raising the dead in me"
