Easter

Easter is a holiday that is celebrated across the globe. We have made it about Bunnies and eggs. But it is so much more than the candy that is sold at the stores. As Christians, it is why we live. I was fortunate enough to grow up in church. So Easter has always been about Christ dying for me. Just for me. That is such a hard concept for us as Humans to grasp. Why would the God of this universe send his son to die for me? I couldn't send my child to die so someone else could live. How was he able to do it? The answer is simple, a little too simple. He loves us so much that he was willing to send his son to die on a cross for our sins. The cross was a death for criminals. Jesus was far from a criminal. He was blameless and pure. He was and is the only person that will ever walk this earth that is without sin.

John 3:16 -18"This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person's failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him. -The Message

JP is 9 months!

Where does the time go? I really can't believe we are already at the 9 month mark. Jonathan started daycare a couple weeks ago. And 2 days in he came down with the first of many colds. Well, he was nice enough to share it with me. So JP and I have boggers everywhere. He has them coming out of his eyes and his nose. They are dry and crusted to his poor little nose. I finally broke down and took us to the Dr on Monday. I was first, I have a sinus infection, infected throat, and an ear infection. Fun stuff, NOT! JP was next, He has a sinus infection and double ear infection. Poor thing. I can only imagine how he feels. He has been so cranky lately. Sometimes I wish we as adults could just cry and complain how horrible we feel. Babies do it. Yesterday my amazing mom watched all 3 kids. Hailey and Clay are on Easter Break. Jonathan cried pretty much all day and yet she still made time to make cupcakes with Hailey. She is amamzing! I would have told Hailey maybe another day.

Today I woke up with no voice and my throat is killing me. I can't even swallow without being in pain. I know I need to go to work, but I really don't want to. The things we have to do to live the lifestyle we want to live....
