Hello friends! Last weekend we celebrated my youngest son’s twenty-fifth birthday. I can’t believe he is already twenty-five. When my boys were younger, I was a single mom. Most days, I spent my time surviving not thriving. It was hard but we made it. The one thing that got me through the hardest of days, was knowing that God could never love me more even when I made mistakes.
We use the word love all of the time but we struggle with the true meaning of love. Love is not a feeling or a nice word, it is the way you treat people.
If we truly understood the depth of God’s love for us we would never be afraid to love others. Loving the way God loves us means you love when you get nothing in return. That is a tough one!
We spend too much time worrying about ourselves. It is so easy to get in the “what about me” mindset.
John 13:34, “I am giving you a new commandment, that love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too are to love one another.”
The world is desperate for real love so it isn’t hard to find someone who needs love.
1 Corinthians 14:1, “Eagerly pursue and seek to acquire love...”
Make it your goal today to pursue God’s love and then give it away by blessing someone!
There is a new song that I have been listening to over and over this week by Elevation Worship. It is truly and amazing song so I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do!
I’m already loved, I’m already chosen. I know who I am. I know what you’ve spoken.

And just like that, Easter is over. To some, it’s just a day filled with Easter eggs and chocolates. When it’s over, we go back to living our busy lives.
But to me Easter is more than a day. Easter is so much more.
Yesterday we celebrated the resurrection of Jesus our Lord and Savior. We can have hope because Jesus is alive!
We will battle hopelessness in our lives, however we must never give up. Because, hope is powerful.
“After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace [who imparts His blessing and favor], who called you to His own eternal glory in Christ, will Himself complete, confirm, strengthen, and establish you [making you what you ought to be]” 1 Peter 5:10.
I love this scripture. In the last year, we have gone through so much and just when we think it’s over, something else comes up. But knowing that God will take care of us through it all gives us hope.
Hope is the expectation that something good is going to happen.
Choose to believe that God is going to do something better in your life, even when you don’t feel like it.
God is greater than anything we go through.

Happy Monday! We are days away from Easter. This week and the weeks prior to Easter can be busy and amazing. However, we can allow ourselves to get caught up in the busyness of life and forget to prepare our hearts for God’s love and His sacrifice. Now is the time to make a change!
God’s word advises us to use our time wisely because He knows there are so many things that can distract us. God wants us to spend time with Him on a daily basis.
Psalm 90:12 states, “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”
God cares more about our heart and He wants to be close to you. Make time for God today!
As we near Easter, spend more time with God. Check the condition of your heart!
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” Proverbs 4:23
