Happy Easter!

Hello!

Happy Easter to you all :)  This is such a special day of the year...the day Jesus rose and conquered death, so that we could have life eternally and abundantly.  Isn't it just amazing?  Even though I've grown up in a Christian home my entire life and have heard the Easter story countless times, it never ceases to amaze me.   And I still can't comprehend the enormity of God's sacrifice for us, I don't know if I ever will.  But what I do know with complete certainty is that He is alive, and that He loves us more than we could ever imagine.  

John 11:25-26
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.

Romans 4:25

He was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.

1 Peter 1:3
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

I pray that you'll find encouragement in His love today and in the fact that He is alive.  The battle is already won ♥  Here are some pictures of my friend's baby chicks because they are a part of the Easter tradition for some reason ;) And I won't question why cause gosh...they sure are cute!

Hope you have a happy Easter!

Love you all ♥

Hand in Hand //

Hello :)

I just wanted to let you guys know about a group blog that I recently joined!  It's called Hand in Hand and it is where myself and 6 of my lovely blogger friends share our Christian faith and our other passions.  It just launched a few days ago so we don't have many posts up yet, but there are many more to come!  Stop by if you'd like (click here), and maybe spread the word by grabbing our button as well ~ That would be great!

He cares for you ♥

Nothing is too small for God to care about!  He cares about even the smallest of birds ~  If they are important to Him, how much more does He care about you?  1 Peter 5 verse 7 says: Cast all your worries on Him for He cares for you.  If you are worried about something and you think it's to small or to dumb for God to care about, just talk to Him.  He ALWAYS cares, even when nobody else does.  Why?  Because he cares about YOU!  Never forget how great His love is for you ♥
