Most of you know that Dave and I are in San Diego- a Christmas present from our three awesome kids. This morning after working out, I went and walked along the bay and then sat and read the Easter story- fitting for Good Friday, I thought. While looking at the beauty that God had made all around me this early morning- I was even more awe stroke at how calm He was during the days leading up to His crucifixion. He taught his disciples, he spent time with the people teaching them, he communed with His Father in the garden-, all the while, knowing that He was going to endure a horrible death in just mere days- yet He was not freaking out - as I know I would have been. But instead He tells us to not be afraid! Fear is something that can consume us in this day of recession- I have been know to freakout in fear of the almighty "there isn't enough money for the amount of bills". But God gave me such a wonderful spouse who keeps me grounded in my faith- and reminds me that none of it is ours- it all belongs to Him, and He will provide for us- not the world. So as I enjoy this time with my husband and take in the beauty that God has created around me at this moment- I declare to Not Be Afraid- but to trust in Him in all things- just as He trusted His Father on this day when God did not take the cup from Him- but let His only Son die for all of our sins. What a Gift that the Father gave to each of us if only we receive it. Have a blessed Easter and take in all that He gave for us during these few days.
