celtic cross b/w - celtic crosses at sunset b/w

passion week was really meaningful for me and our community. good friday especially was a beautiful depiction of such a horrific event. easter has to be the most brightening day of the year.

this time of lent was long but helped me better understand & feel how long and difficult this time must have been for jesus. 

i was thinking about some things i learned over these past 40 days. during a time that is soley about depending on god i realize how little i go to him daily with my life. instead i often live on my own apart from his strength & presence. this is still an area i'm growing in -drinking daily from the cup of grace. my prayer of the heart was "lord jesus, more of you and less of me" helped show me this.

i also see the need for the gospel to save me from all the ways i'm not living in the way of jesus. as my understanding of the gospel broadens i see how it impacts every area of life. further more i see how it redeems all of creation. 

my heart, love & desire for the gospel of jesus has grown over this time. if for no other reason that alone made it all worth it.

thank you jesus for the greatest sacrifice -for your blood, your life. thank you for conquering death. thank you for the hope you aone bring. jesus, my god & savior.
