{Easter and my feelings on the resurrection}
Easter is such an important holiday to me. I hold it dear to my heart. It gives me great hope and joy. The thought of conquering death- that there's more than just this world- and that I have that knowledge and know that it's true is overwhelming and incredible. Having two of my sisters die when I was a teenager changed me. It made me think differently about life. I know in my heart that death isn't the end and that it's a great adventure. It gave me perspective to life. Easter reminds me of this hope for life. I'll keep this simple and sweet- just the way I feel about this. But I love my Saviour. I love that he loves me. That he's my brother. That he knows me better than anyone in this world and that he can see my full potential. That he made it possible for me to become better- to not have dispair in my life- to grow-to learn. To have joy. To know I'm not perfect but that I can try to be better. To lift me. To teach me. To be my advocate.

Wow....thank you for sharing that. I had no idea that you had your sisters pass away when you were a teenager. I'm SO sorry to hear that you had that heart break. I too love the Easter Season for the hope it brings!
