He is Risen!



On Thursday, Jesus and His disciples ate the Last Supper.


On Friday, my Savior was nailed to the cross to die for my sins.


"As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. "Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene,
 who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him." {Mark 15:5-6}


This morning, He rose. 


I don't understand it all. Why? Who would love me, love all of us so much that He would endure all that pain and suffering?


They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left.  Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, come down from the cross and save yourself!” In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! Let this Messiah, this king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and 
believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him. {Mark 15:27-32}


He could have said no. Anyone else would have. But He IS NOT anyone else. He is our Savior, Jesus Christ.


He died, and today He was resurrected. He has risen! Oh, how thankful I am for that.


Wishing you the best of Easters today, celebrating life.


Happy, happy Easter, sweet friends!


For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. {Romans 8:38-39}


Be Blessed,

Inspiration By Song

{Thanks to the one and only totally amazing Melanie for this beautiful button!}

Happy Easter!

Well, Almost...

I usually post our usual Inspiration By Song bright and early Sunday morning, but this week is a little different. Instead of in the morning, we will be inspired tonight by our God's amazing grace. As we think about Jesus, who was crucified so that sinners like you and I could live freely, let's uncover the true meaning of Easter. {And trust me, it has absolutely nothing to do with bunnies, as cute as they may be!}

This first song, called "Why" by Nicole Norderman, is absolutely breathtaking. It really makes you realize what a huge sacrifice Christ made for us. All out of His intense love for us, even though we are sinners. I hope you'll listen and take in the meaning.

The second song is an old favorite: "Amazing Grace" by Chris Tomlin. I LOVE this song. Oh, if only we knew how amazing, magical, undeserved, and miraculous His grace really is...





Enjoy, Dear friends! I pray that you have a wonderful day tomorrow, celebrating our mighty saviors Resurrection. Rejoice!!! Scream it out to the world! He has risen (well, in the morning, that is.)

Tomorrow morning, expect a big, love filled, humble Resurrection post. Don't we all look forward to this day more than any other?

Your sister in Christ,
