Happy Easter!

HAPPY EASTER! It feels so nice to just remember this weekend that Jesus died for our sins and that He has RISEN! Our problems suddenly don't feel as bad when we think of Jesus and our Father. Have a blessed day.

New Session

Wow, Spring Break went fast! The break was needed. I realized, though, that I always need God to keep me strong. I can't wait for Summer Break, but knowing that God is always there keeps me strong all of the time. The devotionals that we get through Regent email are really encouraging and can lift your spirits when you are down. I encourage you to read them and take in all of the information. Dwell on the scriptures and you will usually find that they apply somehow to a situation that you are dealing with. Have a blessed day.

Finding Peace

I know that sometimes, even as a Christian, I worry more about what other people think than what God thinks. I realized that my thinking was wrong in that everyone else has to be happy for me to be happy, but in fact I only have to please God. I discovered a Christian group called Addison Road on itunes one day. They have a song called "All That Matters" and it really opens your mind to how we should not try to please everyone. Look them up on itunes, they're really good. Here are some of the lyrics:

I may never be the one that gets a second glance, I may never be the one they call the prettiest, but that’s alright with me,
And maybe I don’t follow every crazy passion, spend all my time trying to get a good reaction But that’s ok with me.
This world is like a trampoline, High and low no in between, Jumping at the chance to please Everyone but that’s not me, Cause all that matters is All that matters is I know your love has set me free And that’s all that matters to me.
Some people tell me to step out and do my own thing And others say I got to blend in just to be the same And stop being me But this shallow world is no longer what I’m made of I’ve been changed by grace I’ve been saved by love What more do I need.
My life comes from the One Who made the stars and brought the sun He loves me more than these So I don’t need another identity.

Have a blessed day.
