Learn to be Happy
It seems like I am always looking for whats next and how things are going to work out my way. I make all these plans and set them in my mind as a way that God can help me move. When I really stop to realize that since I just started living for him, I haven’t had to plan anything. He provides the opportunities to me. I just have to have my eyes, heart and ears open to how he speaks to me. If I continue to want to control my own life I will continue to crash and burn. Crashing and burning feels horrible and then usually since you hate how that feels you go to medicating yourself within your sinful nature instead of relying on Christ and the Holy Spirit. I want to be happy and joyful in Jesus everyday regardless of my situation. I am learning it slowly and thankfully Jesus grades on a huge curve. My happiness is rooted in Jesus and that is where my Joy will come from. The joy of knowing he loves me and my loved ones. The joy of knowing His thoughts are consumed with me on his mind and in his heart. I want to learn to be happy in knowing that he is always healing me and thinking about me and mending my broken heart. The past few days have been a little rough because I have been relying on myself and trying to make myself happy or medicated if you will. I think a lot of times I try and block feelings during this time of year but I mainly believe these are attacks since God is deciding to do so much with me in my life. The opportunities to share about who he is to me are coming left and right and when I stop thinking about others and only about me, my Joy (happiness) leaves. This is new to me because my flesh and sinful nature have become so used to being fed a certain way for so many years. However, all things are possible in Christ and I am praying and asking that I would trust that so that he can continue to shine through me. So, my friends learn to be happy and let God be the reason for your happiness. If you surrender to him and put him first, you will love others ( your friends and family) better than you could ever imagine or definitely do on your own… Amen!

The rise of Our King
Jesus knew from before man was created that he would have to come and sacrifice his life for us. He knew he was going to give up His Godly right hand position to God and come to Earth. He had wisdom though, enough to know that He needed the Holy Spirit with him on Earth to complete his task. This allowed us to see that we also cannot do it alone. As he lived his life here on Earth, he went from town to town preaching the good news and healing and helping others. He came to know those around him intimately and called for them to do the same with others in their lives. I love that Jesus comes into town for the cross on a Donkey. He basically is stating in his humbleness I am allowing you to bring me in because this day must happen. In those hours of his agony and hell on the cross he comes to submission and screams out why has God forsaken me. He in that moment doesn’t call God his father, He is completely broken and only knows with all the sin, pain and burdens of the creation of man on him, That God has turned his back on His only begotten son. Now it is in this moment that we see the rise of our King, for the three days he was laid to rest He completed his task and journey, preaching the gospel to those in Hell and just confirming for Satan and his demons that it was on. The King had come and sacrificed all, defeated death and in his resurrection, freed all of his children for eternity. They simply now had to make the choice to believe. The Rise of Our King is a moment that no other religion can share and it was done to show the righteousness and grace and sovereignty of God. Thank you Lord for carrying my burdens and forgiving me my sin because you are SO SO GOOD! Amen…
