April 3rd Weekend Recap!

It has been an emotional weekend for me... to a certain extent. I went with my baby girl to visit the college that she is intent upon attending! It is a beautiful and historical campus with so much charm and prestige... Salem College. It is so hard to believe that this journey of her childhood that God has entrusted me to lead her upon is soon coming to an end, well, not an end, but to a new beginning. I am so excited for her and also sad to see her growing up. She is a remarkable young lady, that gives so much, and still has so much yet to give to this world. I am inspired by her in so many ways. God knew what He was doing when He sent her to take care of me... she is and always has been my little angel, right here on this precious earth. It is amazing to see what God can accomplish in someone. She is a true child of Christ and He lives in her. I see this every day, and it drives me to become a better mom, Christian, friend, daughter and all around person. My life was saved by my daughter, who, in her way, brought me back to God, who, many years ago saved my soul....Thank you, Savannah, I love you!

I look at all the flowers and trees blooming and it gets me excited that Easter is coming, all things are coming alive, just as Jesus did after His crucifixion for my sins, He arose and joined God the Father in Heaven where I know He makes a place for me... He said it was true, and how excited I am to one day meet the great I Am....
.... I am a sinner and it is the by the grace of God and the blood of His son, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ that I am saved. I am not perfect, far from it, and don't try to be. I make mistakes, I make bad decisions, I just want to be a better Christian and let God live in me... I can not imagine sending my son to die on the cross for ones who spat on him and loathed him, all to save those exact ones... What kind of love is this, and how do I get that in my heart? I can not begin to imagine how big my God's heart is.... I just know that I am warm and safe there. I am more than excited to be taking part in my first ever Passover Seder this Wednesday... I understand that it is a life and faith changing experience.... let me tell you, it can not get here soon enough!!!
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.... Phil 4:13
God's love and mercy to you all... and have a blessed Easter! He is ALIVE!!!
