One of my favorite songs right now is "I Am" by Crowder. Since today is Good Friday, I thought I'd share it with you. Here's the acoustic version.
God's love never changes, and He is always here for us even when we feel alone. May you be blessed this Easter weekend!!
Any new music speaking to you lately?
(I've been unearthing some oldies from Janet Jackson and Rascal Flatts lately. Good times!)
Have a wonderful Easter!

Have a Blessed Good Friday
It's Good Friday. A sad day and a glorious day. A time for sorrow and a time for gladness.
In a few days, it will be Easter, and no, I don't celebrate it for the bunny or the Cadbury Mini-Eggs (although they are one of my fave parts of the season). I celebrate holy week because I'm deeply grateful.
Eternal life. Forgiveness. A clean heart. A perfect Father who loves me beyond reason.
On Good Friday, Jesus washed away my sins. On Easter Sunday, the Lord granted me the promise of eternal life with Him in heaven.
Hallelujah!!
Have a blessed Good Friday, and never doubt or forget how much God loves you. Enough to send His only son to the cross to take away your sins.
Happy Easter!!
*I will be taking most of next week off for spring break. Join me here next Friday, April 5, for a new 2-Minute Resolution Vlog, and have a terrific week!!*

Good Friday
Today is a very special day. As a lifelong Christian, Good Friday brought (and brings) me in touch with my deepest emotions. Even as a young child, I was awed by Christ's sacrifice for me, for you, for all man-kind.
I'm still awed and humbled and bursting with joy. If anything has changed over the years, I would say that my understanding of God's pure and abiding love for us is even greater than I could ever imagine. He delights in us even when we're singing off key. He is helping us even when we're grumbling and cranky. He smiles at our less-than-stellar first drafts. He comforts us when life feels too hard.
People, humans, have enormous standards. We tell people to aim for the moon but are terribly disappointed when the rocket explodes while being launched. We expect our leaders to fix every problem with the economy, the war, the banks, the auto manufacturers. And when the leaders don't? We don't give them the benefit of the doubt. We choose not to see the big picture, the forces beyond their control. We don't give them a second chance; we expect them to resign. We can be very unforgiving.
God is infinitely more forgiving than we are. He's the one nudging us to continue our writing when we get another rejection letter. He's the one whispering in our ear, "but I like it," when we're convinced no one will ever like our work. Yes, God has high standards, but he also has endless patience and love for his believers.
Good Friday. How true that is.
Enjoy your weekend and have a Happy Easter!
