On Easter we celebrate Christ's resurrection and new life in Him. This year the "new life" part rang incredibly true to my heart and it was beautiful. New life can be scary. Change and the unknown can be scary. But stepping into a new life with faith and confidence in His plan are what make the difference. Knowing He can and will carry me through bring peace.
For the first time, we cooked an Easter meal, no parents. What?! I realize that at almost 31 it was time. Not to say it was a fully cooked meal from scratch. But there was ham, mashed potatoes, cornbread, and green beans. Throughout the day I stopped to just thank God, not only for His Son's resurrection, but for that new life I have. Praise You, Jesus, for delivering me. Praise You for keeping your promise to carry me through.
My prayer is that my heart will always remember this Easter and the joy and gratitude I've felt.
Happy Easter!
