Happy Easter

This morning I woke up excited like it was Christmas morning. I love Easter! I wish I was this excited for church every week.

I love this song! Whether Christmas or Easter or a Monday, this song pulls on my heart strings. I love most songs that mention the veil being torn. That moment is so personally important. It makes my heart fill with joy!

Jesus Messiah by Chris Tomlin

He became sin Who knew no sin That we might become His Righteousness. He humbled himself and carried the cross.
Love so amazing. Love so amazing.

Jesus Messiah, Name above all names
Blessed Redeemer, Emmanuel
The rescue for sinners, The ransom from Heaven
Jesus Messiah, Lord of all.

His body the bread, His blood the wine, Broken and poured out all for love. The whole earth trembled And the veil was torn
Love so amazing. Love so amazing, yeah

Jesus Messiah, Name above all names
Blessed Redeemer, Emmanuel
The rescue for sinners, The ransom from Heaven
Jesus Messiah, Lord of all

All our hope is in You. All our hope is in You. All the glory to You, God, The light of the world

Jesus Messiah, Name above all names
Blessed Redeemer, Emmanuel
The rescue for sinners, The ransom from Heaven
Jesus Messiah, Lord of all.

Amen! Praise You Jesus! I am so grateful and thankful for Your sacrifice. May we all be reminded of what we celebrate on Easter everyday.

Mirror Mirror

I can't tell how many times I question the mirror...
"How do I look today?"
"Does this fit right?"
"Is this attractive?"
In fact when I have a real fashion dilemma I contact my mom and my sister.
I have trouble with new clothing or accessory trends. I look in the mirror and can't decide if I like the new look or not. I recently texted them a picture with options. I started with a plain blue tee and a short sleeve grey cardigan. I ended up adding a skinny black belt to perfect my outfit. Thanks sister.:) If not for my fashionable family members I think I'd be stuck in a t-shirt rut.
I think the biggest question I sometimes forget to ask my mirror is...
"Is this God honoring? And does my appearance deserve as much time as I give it?"
Thankfully I have a good sense of modesty that my parents instilled in me, but I think all women struggle with vanity or image or body issues somedays. While I strive to be a beautiful reflect for my Savior on the outside as well as the inside, I strive to make sure the inside is still my priority.

SSMT

Proverbs 31:13-14 NKJV

She seeks wool and flax,
And willingly works with her hands.  She is like the merchant ships,
She brings her food from afar.

SSMT

Today my verse is Proverbs 31:10-12 NKJV.
Who can find a virtuous wife?
For her worth  is  far above rubies.  The heart of her husband safely trusts her;
So he will have no lack of gain.  She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
This chapter always encourages me or convicts me. So many of the verses are personal goals for my life. It's about time I start memorizing them!
