Today, on Easter Sunday, We meditate on a Savior…
A Savior who does what we can’t. A Savior that is light in the darkness. A Savior that purifies the filthiest of places. A Savior that the grave could not hold, that death itself could not conquer. A Savior that works EVERYTHING together for good for those who love him. A Savior that conquers any and ALL darkness. A Savior that isn’t shackled by time, that stands in the past, present, and the future. A Savior that brings freedom to the trapped, forgiveness to the shameful, and hope to the hopeless. A Savior that breathes life into death. A Savior that sacrificed himself voluntarily to take our sin, filth, burdens, and judgement on himself… A Savior that had the authority to lay down his own life and to pick it up again…
1 Peter 1:3-4 “What a God we have! And how fortunate we are to have him, this Father of our Master Jesus! Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we’ve been given a brand-new life and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven—and the future starts now! God is keeping careful watch over us and the future. The Day is coming when you’ll have it all—life healed and whole”
What a Savior We have :)

"Be Weird. Be Random. Just be who you are. Because you never know who would love the person you hide."
"When God puts love and compassion in your heart toward someone, He’s offering you an opportunity to make a difference in that person’s life. You must learn to follow that love. Don’t ignore it. Act on it. Somebody needs what you have."

I pray
Because I’m human, sometimes I get a little discouraged… Sometimes it’s hard to watch those around you progress in areas you wish your life were progressing in…
There are those few moments in my life where all my mind seems to do is focus on everything I don’t have… on my unfulfilled desires, my dreams, and my yearnings. This unbelievably smooth and convincing voice points out everything that I’m missing out on, it tells me I’ll never get what my heart desires, and that maybe my high expectations about my life are simply too high. In those brief moments where my thoughts are taken captive, my faith, my hope, and the truth I know so well, clouds… Something suggests that maybe if I just stopped waiting, if I took the pen out of God’s hands and started writing the story of my life myself that everything would be better…
In these moments, when my thoughts are clouded and my spirit is heavy, I talk to God. I talk. I rant. I vent. I cry. I pray….
I pray with everything I have to the maker of my soul. I lay it all out on the line with the man who loves me more than anyone else ever will or can, the one who gives my life meaning. I talk unedited with the one that meticulously handpicked every emotion, freckle, feeling, and trait that makes me, me. I tell him that even though I don’t feel like it, I trust him…I trust him with my heart, my soul, with everything I am.
I pour out my heart to him giving him every worry, every care, every emotion…
And when I open my eyes, everything is different.
Now only voice I hear is God’s… the only emotion I feel is peace… My recently aching soul is filled with unexplainable peace and joy that comes only from God. I’m left standing in the warmth, in the light, and in the unquestionable confidence in my father, my maker, my Adonai…
My God :}
Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

A picture I took on the way to Sunvalley :) it was totally worth laying in the mud for
Please take a moment to lift this beautiful girl in up in prayer. She was recently diagnosed with acute myloid leukemia in the M1-M2 category and thus has begun undergoing chemotherapy. Her name is Lyndsay right and she is one of the most joyful, uplifting, encouraging, and godly woman you could ever meet. We’re believing that God is going to completely heal Lyndsay and do something incredible with her story. It would mean so much if you could take just a moment out of your day and pray for strength and God’s healing power over her life! Thank you and God bless :)
