Of course, I talked to Mom and she missed me at home and the help I usually give in the kitchen. Unfortunately, none of my siblings have ever quite learned how to do that. It comes from being the oldest I guess. Also, I was old enough to help around the house a lot when Mom went back to school. I guess I was in about 6th grade. Although, I was often frustrated by being the one that had to help out, I feel like it taught me a lot and helped shape me into who I am today. All of that being said, don't know if I'll try this again next year or go home. Right now, Mom and Dad are between churches not able to find one that really suites them both. I told Mom that if they have a church and there is a place for me to spend Easter in celebration of Christ's resurrection, than I will come home. That is tough though because I really did get a lot our of IBCs Easter services.
I feel like it is important to remember that Easter is not just the Resurrection or the Cross but a combination. I feel like you need to have the somber time of remembering what actually happened leading up to the Resurrection before you can celebrate the fact that HE ROSE!!
I did not do as well with my Lenten plan as I had hoped but will continue to work on the goal I set even though Lent is over. Rather that taking something out of my life, I decided to work on adding something to my life. That something being a time in my day dedicated to God and spending time growing in him. I do feel like I grew some during this time but the daily time was not always there. I do believe it is important so will continue to work to find that time in my day that is set aside for HIM.
Once again, I want to praise GOD for the resurrection of his son, Jesus Christ for my sins. We are each so blessed that he paid the price for us.
