Easter Love

Easter is one of my favorite times of the year. Not only is the weather always unbelievable, but I just love the reminder of why I'm here. Christ's death and resurrection are the foundation of my faith and life, and I really should be celebrating Eater daily, no every moment of every day. Yet, as a normal human being, I tend to drift into the day-to-day self-absorbed notions of this life. Thus, my love of Easter: the reminder of my Savior and His perfect Love for me. He is Love! I hope to resemble Him more and more as I grow. 

One of my bible study friends found this great idea on Pinterest! It's a resurrection garden. See the tomb and how dead the mound looks? Once Easter comes, the grass grows, and symbolizes our life in eternal Christ!

It actually started sprouting on Easter Sunday! Amazing!


Yes, Matthew humored the child in me, and we stuck with the coloring tradition!
(I must get it from my mom because she had a hunt all ready for us and some other 20-somethings from her neighborhood when we went to their house for dinner on Easter.)
I went with the Clausen's to the Passion City Good Friday service at Verizon Wireless Ampitheater. It was awesome!
Oh.... and I donated over half of my hair last week!
No, not for Barbie dolls (I was actually asked this by a student).

Confessions

I have had so many people thank me for my honesty on this blog lately. I haven't really thought about my level of truthfulness until those remarks of gratitude were given. I think I naturally wear my heart on my sleeve, and thanks to my upbringing, I often hear the term TMI, which just means I'm obviously not scared to express myself. However, I also believe that when you are going through something difficult, it's much easier to be raw and real in front of others, even complete strangers. Often times, it is these "real" moments that bridge the gap between hearts and allow us to live truth. I must confess, this marathon is really all over the place. It's like I hit mile 7, and I can't believe I'm only at mile 7! This past weekend, I felt covered in prayer, peace, and love. Matthew and I enjoyed a much needed date night, our little Levi enjoyed a quiet and restful weekend, and our big boy had a blast at our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt.  I really ju...

Joy in Pain

There is pain in this world. It comes in different forms. Physical pain, emotional pain, frustrating pain, confused pain, displaced pain, short-lived pain, numbing pain, excruciating pain, sincere pain, unexpected pain. Yet, through it all, there is joy. How? Where? Why is there joy in a world filled with such pain? Is is true joy? Is it fabricated or medicated joy? Is it temporary joy or will it fade with the next whisper of pain? No. I have felt a joy that far outweighs my pain. It's a joy that doesn't make sense mixing with a pain that culminates in reality.

As I've experienced some of the most intense physical pain during some of the most intense emotional pain, I have noticed and experienced some of the purest forms of joy and peace that cannot be watered down by logic. We lost our second child this week. At just seven weeks old, our precious baby gets to escape a world o...
