For Jesus

It just hit me today that Easter is coming in a little over a week. I mean, I've been aware of it because I have a fabulous trip planned with friends...but I've been so excited for that three day weekend that I've let myself forget WHY we get that three day weekend. We get to celebrate the very basis for our faith! Jesus died and then in the biggest display of his power ever, he resurrected from the dead. I think that we hear this so much as Christians that the awe of what he did is suppressed. But today I was listening to a Christian radio station and they played two songs in a row that were specifically about the cross. It made me remember what is coming...and I am SO excited. I love Easter...I have even more the last few years of my life. Its just so exciting for me to think about how powerful and incredible my God is...how LOVING Jesus is to have suffered and died for me. In response to this...I'm giving up texting for Lent. I know it's a bit late...ok, a lot late. But still...this is a big thing for me. I spend too much time texting and text about things that would be better said in person anyways. I don't want my phone to replace face to face. I also want Jesus to know I love him more than the ability that technology has given me to have constant communication. He died for me. I can give Him this. So to finish...if you need to get in touch with me, just call. And I mean, if you need to let me know something really quick about where you are or whatever, feel free to just text it to me. Just don't expect me to respond. I'll call you if I need to. Love you guys :)

Warning: If its all depending on me, its going to fall apart. Because I'm not strong enough. And I'm tired.
