Easter

It was unthinkable.

impossible.

unfathomable.

unprecedented.

A single act, 

that changed history.

Possibility.

 Destiny~

He was a carpenter, 

a teacher, 

an outcast, 

a leader.

Yet he did,

 what no carpenter, teacher, outcast, leader

 had ever done.

Like all who proceeded Him,

He lived

and He died.

But unlike all who proceeded him

He rose from the dead

He lived again.

He lives~

and because He lives

You.

you, and you~ 

and she, and he,

 and they, and we,

ALL~

will live again.

Because of Him,

Death has no sting

The grave no victory.

We can start again

And again.

And again.

Because of Him,

guilt becomes peace~

regret becomes relief~

despair becomes hope~

Because of Him

we have second chances,

clean slates,

new beginnings.

There is no such thing as the end,

because of Him

These words penetrated my soul this Easter as I have thought a great deal about my family and the choices that have been made throughout my life. 

My life is beautiful because of Him. And thankfully, there is a way back. I love my Savior with my whole soul, and am so grateful to be striving to follow Him. 

Happy Easter~
