Blessed

Life throws curveballs at me constantly. I have always been a force of nature that rarely knows whether I am coming and going. It has always made it easier to not let my true heart or insecurities show, but this week I plan on revealing my heart to anyone who wants to see it. This week The week a savior gave his life for me, so that I would live. I plan on letting my spirit settle and rest. I plan to be calm and rejoice. For while, I may not have all that I desire. I have the one thing I need. I have Jesus. I have the security that life for me doesn’t stop when my body gives out, but that my life will only be beginning. I can rejoice because I have the freedom to speak loudly about what an amazing God and father I have, and not be persecuted for it. I can teach my precious children to pray and not have to worry about someone hurting them for it. I can praise him in complete abandonment without guilt. I can do this, and even though I rarely do, this week I will. My arms are lifted high and my heart is open to all that God wants to poor on me. Each minute I get closer to not having another chance to just live the life God wants me too, and each breath I take is one less than I have to take in. Words that are anything less than kind are wasted words, and I refuse to be a waste. I am going to live. That is after all what Jesus died for. He gave his life so that I could live, and love, and spread his word of good news, and so I go now with the hopes that you all will commit to leaving your doubts and fears of what people may think, and live his word. Step out of the box with me, and lets hold our heads high and rejoice. Our God is an Awesome God, and he has risen!!!!
Have a happy Easter, and a beautiful day.

Love with all my life,
Lexie
