Easter Weekend

Easter has always been a special time of year for me. From memories of beautiful dresses made by my mother, to Easter egg hunts with my own children - Easter is a holiday full of moments that I treasure. This year, I find that I'm asking God for something different. I'm asking that He would speak to my boys...call them both by name...Brandon....Cade...and that they would hear His voice, and know that their heavenly Father is speaking. I'm also praying for my husband. I'm asking that God would speak to Charlie in a new voice...that God would reveal His perfect mapped out plan for his life, for this season. I pray that Charlie would know God's love in a way he's never known before. I'm also praying for the children who will come to LifePoint this weekend. Asking that Easter would be an experience they won't soon forget...not just a power outage or Easter candy...I want those young boys and girls to get how much Jesus loves them, how much His death and resurrection truly cost, and how freely He gives it to them. But more than anything this year, I'm praying that I would know His love. The love I so easily teach about and give to others...the love I've never truly understood...the love that not only takes my sin, but also my shame...the love of the cross... That's what I'm praying for this Easter... How about you?
