"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. " --Isaiah 53:5,6--

I went to a beautiful, touching, service at church this morning. During this busy time of school, with exams looming in the near future, it was such a good opportunity to re-focus. What matters the most in this life? Is it good grades, a good job, lots of money, many "things"? No. Not even close. Oh Lord, that I would live each day for you...only by the blood of Jesus are we saved. If it wasn't for this day, GOOD Friday, Easter Sunday would not be. Jesus-"thank you" does not express how it feels to know you laid down your life for me. Your love is amazing, a mountain firm beneath my feet. May every day be a day to worship you and to live for you.

I can tell you life is definitely not about a good job...

Life seems more about being able to hear God's voice no matter where you're at.

If you want to hear my ridiculous story your more then welcome to get access...just send me your email! (but I warn you...it's crazier then your apt to believe.)

We had such a nice service at church today too! I actually found myself tearing up quite a bit... I wish I could keep the focus ALL the time about just how incredible Christ's death and resurrection really was and is. We have an amazing God... no doubt about it.

I also went to a great service. And cried too. Thinking of the pain, absolute pain he suffered for us, even his father turned away. He did THAT for ME! And people say He faked his own death, that they found his body, that He didn't even exist? All those lies that are so easily refuted, yet so many cling onto. I am SO glad that I have been chosen.
