Speak

"Speak, you have my attention. You have my attention, Lord."

I don't normally take the time to blog about a song, but this particular one really hit home for me today. I was having a tough time earlier this evening, and I said some things I wasn't proud of, just because someone hurt my feelings. After the anger passed, and the hurt set in, I realized something. I was angry at what happened, yes, but I was even more angry at the things I had said because of the content, and I was hurt because I know my actions let Him down.

I'm trying to move on with my life, but I realized tonight [better late than never] that I wasn't letting God lead the way. So here I am, via blog...saying speak, you have my attention. You have my attention, Lord. Show me what to do, show me where to go, without Your guidance, I'm lost.

To close this out, all I can say for anyone reading...He's always listening, He's always there when you need help [even when it takes us a while to realize we need help]. Wait for Him to show you the way, He should always have our attention.

Easter - Not All About Peeps!

I believe in God, the Father almighty,creator of heaven and earth.I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,was crucified, died, and was buried;he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Let's not forget what Easter is all about. It's not all about the candy and the amazing food [although we do love all those things], it's really about the resurrection of Jesus. He was crucified, He died for our sins. We all need to remember that, not just on Easter, but we need to remember,and be thankful for that every single day. I, myself am guilty of forgetting this, especially recently. I've been going through a lot of emotional battles lately, and found myself questioning everything once again. Something triggered within me a few days ago, I realized Easter was approaching, and I remembered just what Easter was all about [No, I'm sorry - it's not Peeps!], and I said to myself "what am I doing? How could I be so miserable when someone so wonderful gave His life for me?" I needed that realization, and He knew that. So now, I'm asking anyone reading this to realize today and everyday here after, that He gave his life for us. I know I will be forever thankful.

Happy Easter Everyone!
