He has Risen!!

I haven't posted in a while...I hope everyone enjoyed Resurrection Sunday or Easter yesterday! I know Jon and I enjoyed ours! I love being with family and just laughing and its makes me realize how thankful and blessed I am to be able to have a beautiful and supportive family.

 Being a Christian and especially since becoming closer to our Lord, I look at Easter much more differently now. It is not about the candy, the food, or any of that at all. It is about what our amazing Lord has done for us. He was tortured, humiliated, beat, whipped, mocked and everything else imaginable. I found myself many times reflecting on this during the week before his resurrection and found myself crying and getting emotional to even imagine this, and to know this was all for us. All done for us sinful human beings so that we may be forgiven and have the opportunity to one day be with Jesus in eternal Paradise. He died for us and was crucified. His hands & feet nailed to the cross, where he withstood much agony and pain. Again, ALL was done for us. It is overwhelming to think how much love Jesus has for us, and because of that amazing and powerful love, He suffered and died for US. I think about His Mother Mary, watching this all being done to her Son and what she must have felt, of course I can't even begin to imagine. In Jesus' final hours He cried out " It is finished" and then committed His spirit to God the Father, and took His last breath. Like Jesus said, it was done and we were all now forgiven. These days that led up to Resurrection Sunday really Humbled Jon and I and we reflected many times about Jesus' amazing love for us and how truly grateful we are. We woke up early Easter morning before sunrise and watched the sunrise together to be a reminder that Jesus has now Risen! It was a beautiful and peaceful morning and we were grateful to celebrate our Saviors Resurrection! I hope everyone else had a beautiful and blessed Easter and were able to really reflect on the true meaning of it!

As far as this cancer business- My last scans were stable still, which is wonderful! My TSH hormone is still high and off, which is causing me still some days to be overwhelmed with tiredness but I'm hoping it will still continue to lower and get back into the normal range. Overall, besides the tiredness I have been having more "good" days then bad lately, which I am very grateful for. I also think the beautiful weather has been helping to lift my spirits...not so much my allergies but definitely my spirits!! Again, I just continue to take each day as it comes and am very thankful to be living and breathing. May God bless all of you and may we all remember to never take one single breath or moment for granted. Until next time....
