Via Dolorosa

Hi!

Last night was beautiful. At Maundy Thursday Service, we read scripture about the Last Supper and there twelve candles. As each reading was done, a candle was blown (blew?) out. I was the last one; my Dad had the last two and it was completely dark, showing what it was like before Jesus.

We don't know when Jesus died for us, but that doesn't matter. Every Sunday is the celebration of Jesus dying on the cross for us.

Today is Good Friday Service. We usually give the money to someone in need and I'm hoping we give it to a  mom who lost two little girls in a horrible accident and she needs to the money for their funeral. I'm so thankful those little girls are in Heaven, dancing with Jesus and having a blast there, probably making the adults very happy to see little girls who laugh and play.

Tomorrow I work then I go see my brother in laws family. I'm excited to see them!

Sunday is church and work (lol!) I am working a lot these days!

But last night, I cried out to the LORD and read something from a book called "Jesus Calling" and here's what it said:

"Stop trying to work things out before their times have come. Accept the limitations of living one day at a time. When something comes to your attention, ask Me whether or not it is part of today's agenda. If it isn't. release it into My care and go on about today's duties. When you follow this practice, there were will be a simplicity about your life: a time for everything, and everything in its time. 

A life lived close to Me is not complicated or cluttered. When your focus is on My Presence, many  things that once troubled you lose their power over you. Though the world around you is messy and confusing, remember that I have overcome the world. I have told you these things,  so that in Me you may have peace."

Ecc. 3:1, John 16:33.

So, if you are like me and struggle with trying to controlling everything instead of letting God control your life, I hope you realize that God loves you and wants what's best for you.

I hope if you are not a Christian, that you will one day accept Jesus as your Savior. It is only through my pride and ego that I do not let God's grace work in me but I am praying to realize that God is a great God who is not a bully or a big meanie. He loves me and He cares for me :)

I am sorry if I am a poor example of what a Christian but I hope people can how much the LORD has changed my life!

I hope you all have a Good Friday whether you celebrate or not!

Love, Faith.
