Easter and a season of blessings........

Feeling the presence of God in your life is the BEST feeling in the world. Knowing that HE is in control, it can't get any better. And that is just what is going on in our lives at this moment! I know Justin and I have our ups and our downs but I love when are up and when life is right where it is supposed to be. I think it has to do more with my attitude on life, than anything else. God is always present, but it's if we are quiet enough to hear him. Through all the chaos that is our life, if you feel like He is not there.....oh He is! I think He just gets a little quieter so we really realize that we need to calm, slow, and be quiet so we can hear HIM!
I know a few posts ago, I wrote about how our life was spiraling out of control. Now it seems the complete opposite. Our life is still chaotic, but I feel a peace with knowing that as long as I put in my part, God will do the rest. I love my husband with such a love, I can't describe it. He is AMAZING! God gave him to me, and I will forever be greatful.
This sunday is Easter. I have never really felt, or realized what it all means. I mean I grew going to service and doing the whole Easter thing. I know why we celebrate it. I know Jesus died and rose again. But not until this year, I have felt the presence of God so preverently in my life. I finally feel like I am celebrating the death and ressurection of my Father! So close to me like a family member. I feel the angst that comes when someone dear to you dies. It's kind weird. Except there's an extreme twist.....He LIVES! It's so awesome! It makes my heart dance and sing to realize this fact. It helps me realize who we have lost in the past and that we will see them again. I feel like I am no longer afraid to die. The enemy cannot trick me into being afraid anymore. I won't be tricked.

I love GOd with all that I am. I love my husband with that same love, just on a different level. I feel so blessed with so many things in our life right now. I am so greatful. Our IRS troubles are gone! (at least for this year, lol) What a weight gone! We are doing so good in getting rid of our debt, I am so proud of us! It makes me realize we will not be in this place our entire lives. It is so freeing!!!!!!!!!!

Blessings on you all this Easter season! HE IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN INDEED!

If you just realize, what I just realized.....

I just realized that if Justin and I are soooooooo diligent and consistant and focused we could be out of debt in 10 months....10 MONTHS PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How big of a relief is that. I'm talking about our financial program we are in. we will have one more credit card to drop after that and we really will be DONE! DONE! DONE! THis is incredible! God has been so graceous to us and he hasn't let us down. I feel like there are so many wonderful things happening in our life right now, I just couldn't Not share. LIFE IS GOOD! What a great feeling I have! Loves.....ambs
