It just feels like Spring today (and I guess that's a good thing since it is Spring) a friend posted on Facebook that she actually saw some budded trees today, my mother saw robins in a family members yard yesterday! IT'S HERE, IT'S HERE!! And with all the twiterpation and sweet smell in the air I have the energy of... Well, this lamb!
Saturday night is the first night of "Messiah" the Easter presentation at Capital Community Church - it's free, there's food and it looks/sounds great so if you're in the area don't miss it! Of course we've been putting in quite a lot of practice time and I've been seeing the story for a few nights now and somehow it's found room to inspire a new thought and new meaning in my life... We all look at Easter as an amazing story of the Saviour being tried, crucified and then alive again and that's awesome but to be honest, when you grow up in church or in any environment where you hear this story every year it can receive little thought after a while... We get too used to it and that's not good, we should never lose the amazement of Jesus laying down his life for us and not only laying it down but picking it back up so we can live in victory through His spirit in our lives!
The part of the Easter story that's taken my attention back and freshened my thoughts is actually the resurrection... Because I've been thinking of Spring so much this year when I thought of the resurrection all I could see was a new beginning! What a new beginning! Not only a new beginning for Jesus, but for the church and for all of us! It's so amazing to serve a living, vibrant, resurrected saviour! And not only did He create a new beginning then but each spring He uses the season all around us to remind us once again He can give us the new beginnings we need in any situation in our lives! He is the God of creation but not creation alone; new creation and re-creation! Even if you're coming out of a long winter season in life, Spring is here! God has a new beginning ready for you to step into so what are you waiting for!? Renew your hope! Revive your excitement! Take hold of your trust and believe! This IS a new season, accept and move into what God has waiting for you without second thought or fear! He has an amazing future planned out for you, you are His possession, Hid beloved, He loves you and wants the best for you and we all know God gets what God wants so don't stand in your own way, move aside and watch Him work!
Love you all! Thank you so much for your support, it's much appreciated and needed, I love all the notes and comments in person! Happy Easter! Jesus lives!
