Happy Easter!

March 23, 2008

I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter! The Jesus rose fromt he Cross one - the Christian one. Not the pagan one with the bunny and eggs. Please be reminded of the cross and it being EMPTY - Jesus is alive and in Heaven (psst, He rose from the dead). He will return for His people. (oh i am so excited about that!) If you have questions about it all - contact me. No I do not know the answers specifically other than Jesus died for me and I accepted Him (in 1997) and you too have a choice. There is no “maybe” choice, it’s either yes or no. Know I am praying for you - my hope is for all to choose YES - “Jesus died for my sins, He is King” - then we can all party for eternity (wow we cant even measure that!). Think about it. Pray about it - the the God that is Jesus’ Father. Yes, Jesus Loves you.


Hear me Roar!

It was an awesome day as a stay at home mom! Sunday morning and Easter! Now I can count on one hand how many times I dresed up for Easter (church) and this will be a day to add. My husband had to go to church early to practice in the band so I was on my own. Well I started early and before the kids got up, I ate breakfast. Then I was about to get a shower then my daughter was up. No prob - i took a shower the night before. So I got her fed and then dressed. Then we got the baby up and fed and dressed. All of this was done at a calm pace! woo woo. Now I know other moms of two know how much of a feat this is. We also packed the diaper bag with snacks and stuff to do, while the music and announcements are made. This is a feat! I even snuck in a quick Easter photoshoot of the kids.

That’s not all. We came home fromt church and I made lunch and cleaned dishes (by hand, ugh) and did the same with dinner. Now this should be the NORM, I know but it’s tough and espcially to clean dishes after each event. Usually I have to attend to ths kids right away. Well it was all possible because my Husband is the best! He halves my work and more!

It just feels so empowering to have yourself and your home in order, even if it’s for a day! Victory!
