This Changes Everything

This weekend we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ - the event that changed everything.  While this is easy to say, it is much harder to believe.  Even Jesus' closest friends and followers, immediately following His crucifixion, didn't believe.  Their hopes were dashed, their expectations crushed.  But then it happened...the miracle on Sunday morning...the resurrection!  Thank you Chase Oaks Church for helping us embrace the miracle of the resurrection and the power that it brings for our lives!     

"Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!" Luke 24:5-6

"The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified, and on the third day be raised again." Luke 24:7

The cardboard testimonies during Friday's service were amazing to watch and gave me many goosebumps.  They also got me thinking about what our cardboard testimony might be.  I can't speak for Jason, but mine would say, "Struggled with infertility for 5 years - God's greatest gift was born November 12, 2008, placed in our arms November 14, 2008, and ours forever May 12, 2009."  There are so many other ways that the Lord has blessed our lives, but Sara was definitely our most prayed for and longest awaited blessing. 

As I sit here listening to the wind and rain from my computer, I am looking forward to the renewal that comes with tomorrow.  We can't wait to share the story of Jesus with Sara in the morning using the Resurrection Eggs she will hunt for and the Resurrection Rolls we will make together for breakfast. 

Easter Blessings to y'all!

"We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure." Hebrews 6:19
