Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

April 19, 2011


Easter week is here. For Christian's, this is the most exciting time of the year. While most people consider Christmas the main Christian holiday...it is actually Easter. Easter, when Christ suffered on the cross and rose from the dead three days later. When he suffered and died for our sins.

To be honest, Easter really wasn't a big deal for me for the majority of my life. Not until a year ago when I truly became a Christian did I realize just how special this time is. Since a year ago, I have begun looking at life in a totally different light. I find how I conduct myself in day-to-day life..I am different. It is almost like I was asleep for the first 45 years of my life..and now I am awake.

To think this humble man, sent to earth by God...suffered so horribly and died so that my sins would be forgiven. He died and suffered for me! It is something that is almost hard to comprehend. But, it is something I hope others might experience. Spreading the word is one thing a true Disciple of Christ should do. While I know I do not do this to the depth I should..I am still learning. If I spend the rest of my life learning how to be a good Disciple of Christ ....it will be a wonderful life no matter what happens...or what trials the devil may throw my way.
