Easter Sunday

I sat down to talk to Madison and Caden about the real reason we celebrate Easter. I was floored with how much they knew. Madison told me that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and we celebrate Easter because He rose from the dead! I feel incredibly blessed that my daughter at 6 years old can tell me about the love of Jesus!

How lucky are we that he was beaten, and crucified on the cross. And 3 days later has risen from the grave so that we can live for eternity!


Yesterday,we went to church and then to my moms for dinner. It was the perfect day, absolutely beautiful outside. The kids had a blast and we even got a nap in, lol. Here is a few pics from yesterday:

Undo Me

For the past few weeks I have been down. I feel like something is missing and I knew what it was but I wasn't ready to face it. God. I have been running, for what reason? I have no idea. Maybe lack of motivation? Desire? I'm not sure what. All I know is I am empty.

 Last night I was driving to pick up Leo from work, and I started praying, asking for guidance to bring me back to him. I need to know where I belong, I need a church that can help me get to where I need to be. Everything was lacking. I needed him to reach out and grab me and pull me back in. So after my prayer I was flipping through the stations and Undo by Rush of Fools came on. I have heard this song a thousand times, sang along too, but never really listened to the words. But last night I heard it clearly, really for the first time. This time it had meaning. It was everything I was crying out for and everything I needed in that moment. It's funny the little ways God can touch us , just in the right time, in the right moment. When we need him the most. This was my prayer......

Undo

I've been here before

Now, here I am again

Standing at the door

Praying You'll let me back in

To label me

A prodigal would be

Only scratching the surface

Of who I've been known to be

Turn me around, pick me up

Undo what I've become

Bring me back to the place

Of forgiveness and grace

I need You, I need Your help

I can't do this myself

You're the only one

Who can undo what I've become

I focused on the score

But I could never win

Trying to ignore

A life of hiding my sin

To label me

A hypocrite would be

Only scratching the surface

Of who I've been known to be

Turn me around, pick me up

Undo what I've become

Bring me back to the place

Of forgiveness and grace

I need You, I need Your help

I can't do this myself

You're the only one

Who can undo what I've become

Make every step lead me back to

The sovereign way that You

Turn me around, pick me up

Undo what I've become

Bring me back to the place

Of forgiveness and grace

I need You, I need Your help

I can't do this myself

You're the only one who can undo 

You are the only one who can undo

You're the only one who can undo

What I've become
