He is R I S E N

"Why seek ye the living among the dead?...He is not here but is risen." Luke 24:4-5

My heart is full of gratitude for my Heavenly Father and for my Savior, Jesus Christ.

Because of Jesus Christ and His infinite Atonement, I can find peace in my afflictions.

Because He lives, I can look forward to the future with hope. 

One day, I will be like Him--because He lives.

I know the tomb is empty.

The Savior suffered, He died, and He rose again.

We have no need to worry, for we have a Savior who saved us.

As we accept this gracious gift from our elder brother, let us show Him how grateful we are for it.

The gospel boils down to love.

How much do you love your Savior and what are you willing to do to show Him?

I absolutely love Easter and spring time.

The flowers begin to blossom. The sun is out and shining. The birds chirp and they sing. The leaves begin to grow again. 

It's almost like the Earth is renewed after another winter that killed everything!

There are no coincidences, my friends.

I believe springtime is very symbolic of the Savior's beautiful resurrection.

Everytime Spring comes around, I remember God's love as I take in the beauty of all His creations.

Be happy and have a happy Easter!

{Embrace}

"Embrace it! Take it in! Love every minute! Make every second count!"
We've all heard these phrases.
As cliche as they may sound-okay, do sound-we need to constantly strive to tell ourselves to do these things on a daily basis. Yes, even when you're having a bad hair day.
Life is too short to complain.
Life is too short to waste a day.
Life is too short to spend your time wishing you could have what you can't have.
Life is too short.
Live in the moment, and whatever your circumstance may be, embrace it.
Do not become short-lived! Embrace every moment that life has to offer: good and bad.
Make every trial a learning experience and every weakness a strength.
Remember: You are NOT alone!
I have a firm belief in God and in His hand. He created this world. He created me. He made life possible. When He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to live and to die for all mankind, He paid the ultimate price which allows us to change.
Embrace the opportunity to change!
Life is all about becoming! Becoming is a process, not an event. As we go through life to become like the Savior and our Heavenly Father, we will find the trials, the hardships, the errors, the discomforts, and everything that life has thrown our way to be worthwhile and for our good.
So, I'll say what all the optimists out there have always said:
Embrace it! Take it in! Love every minute! Make every second count!
Make today the best day of your life. Then make the next day the best day of your life. Then the next, then the next, then the next....
