HaPpY EaStER

I hope that everyone had a great Easter! 

I really tried focusing on what the true meaning of Easter is. I have been doing a bible study the past few months and it has really helped me learn so much about the Bible and God. I considered myself a christian but really didn't know much except one or two stories.  This past week we finished up reading Mark, right in time for Easter and boy it truly was just what I needed as a reminder for what Jesus has done for us! If you need the reminder you should read Mark 13-16...WOW... is the only word that comes to me when I read it!

This morning while I sat in Church, I kind of expected for the service to be a traditional service, reading through the bible and covering certain verses but I found myself in awe of the story he was telling, going through the bible and what the few days before Christ being resurrected really meant and what was really going on. It was so wonderful and understanding it as much as I did from the bible study really helped too I am sure. Needless to say the service was wonderful!

We followed the service with an early dinner, which was marvelous! A great ham with all the side dishes and dessert...I don't need to eat for a week now!!! :) 

I hope everyone had as wonderful of an Easter as I had! May your week be filled with happiness!

Great!

I just had to share this when I saw it on Pinterest! These are the type of home rules that will keep you grounded and be able to work through any situation with God being your main focus. I hope this helps you as much as it has me!

Has changed my life...

When I first became unemployed I was invited to attend a women's bible study that happened on Thursday mornings. I said yes I would love to come (but truly had nothing else going on besides working around my house). I attended that next Thursday and when I entered it had a long table full of breakfast foods and tables set up around the open room. All of the women (about 40 of them) welcomed me with open arms and showed me to the food. I ate some of the best tasting food I have ever had. The women ranged from my age to 80's and all had something about them that made you want to be around them. I studied all of these women while they all caught up, telling stories of what God has done in their life. About 45 minutes later we shuffled into the sanctuary for some worship, bulletin and then the word. Fae was teaching that day and you could tell that God was really working in her life and especially to share today. We were working in the book of Matthew and as she said its one of the most important books in the bible and especially the section she was speaking on...it really is the word of what God excepts Christians to be. About and hour and half later we broke up for small groups and boy let me tell you that these women are what I strive to be....100% about God 7 days a week 24 hours a day. When they prayed God was in the room listening...absolutely remarkable!

I left the day feeling great and the best part is that I learned so much about what a Christian is suppose to be about. It isn't about going to church one day a week and then not praying or being in your bible the other 6 days it's about paying attention to god all day every day!

I have gone back to bible study every Thursday since then and look forward to the next one each week with each one getting better and better and I am learning more and more. I highly recommend everyone getting into the word or finding a bible study to help find that inspiration and to learn more every week!!!
