Our Lord is Risen!!!!!

Happy Resurrection Day!!!!!  What a wonderful day to be alive! Truly alive! Our Lord, Jesus Christ died, that we may live! May we live each and every day with that knowledge in our hearts. Today is Easter, and I could write to you about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, but I don't want to.  Each of the gospels share his story in the following chapters: Mt 27, Mk 15, Lk 23, Jn 19. What I want to share with you is who my Savior is to me and what he has done for me, for I am so grateful for my Lord.  He is my King of Kings, my Lord of Lords, my Prince of Peace, my All in All.  I truly do not know what I would do, where I would be without Jesus Christ. When I am in the pit, he draws me out. When I am hurting, he puts salve on my wounds. When I see the world and myself negatively....he corrects my vision. When I feel down, and I don't love myself, he loves me for me....and then I love me again. When joy and laughter escapes me, he fills me up like a ...

Helpful Tip - Look Closely

God is amazing!!  Spring has sprung and everywhere you look, new life is abundant. Isn't it wonderful?! But I must say, you must look closely for if you don't you can miss some of God's most precious gifts. Right now, you may not have even noticed, but many yards/grasses are filled with little purple, or purple/white flowers.  They are mowed with the grass and frankly, I never gave a second thought about the weed until my husband called my attention to it.  What do they say, "One man's weed is another man's bouquet of roses."  Actually, I am pretty sure I just made that up, but in this case, I think I am right.  :) Now I really hope that ya'll don't already know what I am about to show you, because that would ruin my big reveal.....which I thought was pretty spectacular.  But regardless, our Lord sure aims to please. Let me give you a better view of the little flower that we walk on and mow...... Where you surprised?  I was!  I was walking...

Scriptures....God is Able

So many times, we are just exhausted.  Overwhelmed.  We just feel like we can't get our head above water. And we look around and everyone else is smiling, laughing, life is good for them...why not me? We know that is not really the truth.  That others are struggling as well.  That if we were to sit down with them and ask them.....they would say, if they were honest, that they feel the same way. So here we are, on Palm Sunday.  In recognition of a God who came to earth for us.  A King who rode to his ultimate death on a donkey.  He came to serve in order to give us life. He has gone through it all. And he knows all that we go through.  He has counted every hair on our head.  So when you are down and out.  Please recognize, that you are human.  You are not the only one struggling.  You cannot get out of your pit by yourself. Don't try.  If you are a Christian, look to Jesus and hold on tight.  He is able...let Him pu...
