Easter

As of tomorrow at 2:35, Easter Break has officially arrived! 11 whole days off. What a blessing! And it is coming at just the right time. It is time for me to rest, replenish my patience, and get some stuff done around the house. I am really looking forward to it. One project I will be working on is uploading my photos to a website like Snapfish or Shutterfly, to back them up in case something ever happened to my computer or in case our house ever burns down. Weird to say that but since it just happened to someone at work, it's on my mind.

We are also looking forward to taking a short trip to the desert with my sis and her family. :)

I am so thankful for Jesus' beautiful gift that we will be celebrating this weekend. His sacrificial death on the cross has given us eternal life for all who believe. How amazing! He lives, He is King, and He wants to know each of us. I am so grateful for His love, His life, His death and resurrection, and the fact that I know Him and and known by Him. Wow!!! Incredible!

Blessings to you and your families this Easter!

Comfortable

I have been reading Luke and came across this passage and was so convicted. My life is too comfortable. Do I like being comfortable? Of course! Am I scared to pray for more of an uncomfortable life? Absolutely! But I feel it is what I must do. Because I am well fed. I am "rich". I am comfortable. People speak well of me. (At least to my face! :) Woe to me! Wow! Pretty amazing... I am scared. But I would rather have my reward be great in Heaven than have my life comfortable here on earth.

20"Blessed are you who are poor,
for yours is the kingdom of God.
21Blessed are you who hunger now,
for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now,
for you will laugh.
22Blessed are you when men hate you,
when they exclude you and insult you
and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man.

23"Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their fathers treated the prophets.
24"But woe to you who are rich,
for you have already received your comfort.
25Woe to you who are well fed now,
for you will go hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now,
for you will mourn and weep.
26Woe to you when all men speak well of you,
for that is how their fathers treated the false prophets.

Luke 6:20-26
