Easter

I was in church this morning and Mya fell asleep on me while we were singing. *I laughed in my head (we were singing "Crown Him with Many Crowns") and I could have fallen asleep too. Beautiful beautiful words, but...just so...dated!* Anyway, I soaked that time with her being so limp in my arms and just trusting me so much to take care of her. She is a busy busy girl always wanting to be doing sooomething - so I take those moments and hold on to them dearly! All day I have been thinking how special and innocent she is. Of course I want to protect her and show her love, but more importantly I want her to know Jesus and feel the Grace he provides in our lives. I pray that she will love the Lord and treasure his Word. I can't stop thinking about the words of "Because He Lives" whenever I get worried about anything happening to her.

God sent His son, they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal, and forgive.
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.



How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives.
But greater still the calm assurance,
This child can face uncertain days because He lives.



Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.



And then one day I'll cross the river,
I'll fight life's final war with pain.
And then as death gives way to victory,
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone!
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives!

How powerful are those words? Why do we allow fear to seep into our lives?? He is ALIVE!! and He has saved us. He has already WON! He has beaten that fear. It is just so amazing that we don't have to worry or be anxious about fears that penetrate our mind. I love that He is in control. I have been reading some blogs of some women that have lost children and I pray - Lord please do not allow that to happen to me, I could not do it - but, these women show such amazing faith and courage. I don't have to fear anything that might happen because the Lord will be there to help me face "uncertain days" just as he will for Mya throughout her life.
