This Easter more then ever I think, because of my mom being so sick, and not being able to do the hustle and bustle of the normal Easter stuff, I've been thinking allot more about why we really do celebrate it. It's not the candy (though some may beg to differ :) ) it's not the eggs, it's not the Bunnie's, it's not even getting all gussied up to go to church on Easter morn. The real reason we celebrate this time of year, is because of our savior JESUS CHRIST! Because He rose from the grave, He gave us eternal hope and joy! A reason to live! And for that gift I myself will forever be thankful for! So this Easter no matter how busy it gets how much you have to cook, how much candy you have to get, how you have to make sure all your kids look presentable, how much stress you have, make sure you take the time to remember why we do celebrate. Because if you do you will have an amazing Easter!

Fight For It

Its time! Its time to lift up your fist's! Get your Bible! Take up the sword of the spirit! We are in a bloody war. And if you can't see that, that's a problem! Don't try to just "fit in" with the world. Don't compromise! Fight the evil lurching around us! He spoke for us, loved us, bled for us, was beaten for, was hung on a cross for us, prayed for us, died for us, lived for us! The least we can do is fight to see that His name is not taken out of our land completely. They may take His name off our money, keep Him out of our schools and work places. But they can not and will not keep us from fighting, fighting for His name, fighting so that children have a chance to see the light of day, fighting so that His love can be seen! Who will stand with me? Who will change the world with me? How can we stand by and watch them crucify Him again through the corruption in our land? We can not reach the world through compromise, we've gotta show them that there is something different, that we have something that gives us hope and love! I don't mean to ramble on, but I just feel like the children of God need to stand up for their Father! We also need to come together as a family, as brothers and sisters in Christ. Encourage and lift each other up. Go to each other when we are hurting, and when we are joyful. Because none of us are better or more loved than the other. We were all lost, we were all sinners. But we have been adopted into the best ever! Lets embrace it! Hope I didn't bore you :) ~Out Of His Great Love~ Rachel http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6jO7xhU_Pw P.s This is a really great song and video!

Strongest

The strongest people are not the ones with all the fame money and power. They are the ones who can say that they are week, the ones that know that at there strongest there is one stronger, who's weakness is stronger than there strength.

They are those who's words are much, much stronger than there fists. Those who make it through rough times, understated and alone, yet not alone. Those who pick themselves up and go on. The strongest are those who help the weakest.

Strong, what comes to mind? Our world today would say, has big muscles and can lift a car or something like that. Not me, for I know what strong really means.

It means, a man leading and taking care of his family, but knows he cant do it alone. A mother who trusts in Him in the depths of mourning over children seen and unseen. A child suffering from illness yet is still full of smiles that bring joy to all who witness them. A young man in school standing up for his faith even when he's told to keep from speaking.

They can not be stoped, they will not be silenced, in the depths of fear they turn to there Savior, they cry out to the One who hears them, the One who takes care of there every need.

Most of all its the One who went through the pain, the suffering, the ridicule, and death to bring life and forgiveness to all who will take it.

I don't know about you but I want to be one of the strongest.

I am the character

I really love writing. But in the story of my life, I am the character, He is the author. He has all ready written my story, who I'll marry, what children I will have, works of faith I will do, what I will do when I mess up my part. He is the vine, I am the branches, He is the potter, I am the clay. I can do nothing except through Him. All I am, all I have is in Him. My story will have a happy ending, because I'll be with Him!

My Jesus, My Lord

I came across this the other day, I wrote it awhile ago and decided to finish it. Hope you like it.

My Jesus, my Lord You are my sword.

You always guide me through the night, and wake me with the morning light.

You always love me like there's no tomorrow, even in my deepest sorrow.

Even when I treat You wrong, still You sing Your greatest song.

The one that gets me through it all, while You stand so mighty so tall.

My life belongs to You because You gave your life to me, even though I did not see.

The glory of Your love shines bright, my heart is filled with great delight.

Though this world will drag me down, still I know I'm heaven bound.

For Your love for me is far beyond, it is an ocean not a pond.

And I shall tell the world of You, for Your love has seen me through.

So through my life time I will shout! For You have loved me inside and out.

And though I may not understand, why I must walk this weary land.

I believe Your holding me, You've payed my debt and my fee.

You suffered a long and painful death to bring me new life, and so I must tell the world of Your great might.

When You spoke a lion roared, My Jesus my Lord.
