Today I made Easter eggs with Josh. It was a beautiful and fun time. I remember my dad and I coloring our eggs when I was a child and it being a special time. I love Easter but not for the eggs or spring but for the hope it brings. Easter is such a beautiful time to reflect on Christ and his death on the cross. The love God poured out on His people is unimaginable. The thought of sacrificing your child for others is something as a mom, would be too painful to fathom. Jesus's death has produced such freedom in my life.

My life now....

My life has not always been God glorifying. God has had a hand in my life when I was still a sinner and picked me up, thankfully before I had to hit rock bottom. I truly believe if God had not saved me, I probably would be dead. I was headed down a life of drugs and promiscuity and it is only by Gods grace that I did not contract an STD, die by my stupid behavior that got me into potentially bad situations or became hooked on somthing terrible. I remember when I was in high school, and trying to figure out this whole God, religion thing...that I prayed God would give me a God-fearing husband. I am not sure why I was compelled to pray that but I did, and God delivered me a wonderful God-fearing husband that became an instrument God used to pull me out of the darkness I was in. So here I am now, I wife, a mother, and a woman who loves God with every fiber of her being. Wiser now from the life I had lived...with a strange ability to talk openly about my previous life without feeling humiliated by it, but instead hoping and wishing that maybe by sharing my history I might be able to help another person from making similar mistakes.
