He Is Risen

Well this weekend was Sailor’s first time to hunt Easter eggs!! More importantly, we celebrated the ressurection of our Lord, Jesus Christ!! He has given us an amazing GIFT through His death on the cross... ETERNAL salvation for our souls!! One day Cameron and I will walk side by side with our Heavenly Father and it is our deepest prayer that Sailor will come to know Christ as her Savior at an early age that she too will walk beside Him when we get called home!! I was studying this past week about God’s love for us. His love is agape love. It means that it’s completely unconditional. No matter what we do He will still love us!! He loved us so much that He died on the cross for us! To forgive us of our sins. That we may accept this free gift and live in His kingdom with Him forever and ever!! How undeserving we are of this love.... but He gives it freely anyway!!

Cameron and Sailor and I went to Matagorda Friday night to celebrate Easter with Cameron’s parents on Saturday. Justin and Erin were there also! It was so much fun! Our little ladybug hunted Easter eggs for the first time!! She’s such a big girl!! She did a great job. She would pick up an egg and hold it until we got to the next egg and then she would throw the old one in the basket!! She did this over and over! It brought tears to my eyes. She’s growing so fast! She now says: "All Done!"... "More?"... "Please?"... "Thank you."... "Welcome."... "That."... "I love you"... and "Coca"( this is for any kind of food or drink. It origionally started out for cookie but somehow transulated to anything that goes in her mouth period!) Praise Jesus that he blessed us with this sweet Sailor Bug!!

We wern’t able to go to church Sunday because Sailor has been very ill! We were worried that she might catch something else with her immune system being so low. She’s gotten sick the last 4 times we’ve been to church with a major illness :( So we thought we would give her a rest... unfortunately it happened to be on Easter Sunday :(

We went to Creg and Jennifer’s house Sunday afternoon. We had a HUGE meal and hunted some more Easter eggs! It was a blast! Haven and Sailor were adoreable!! Little Twins!!

  1. Amen and Praise Jesus for His sacrifice! I love reading your heart. It's just beautiful and refreshing to know you love the Lord. I still can't get over it, but it makes me sad the many times we had opportunities to share this very TRUTH with you and your family when we were growing up and didn't do it. I am so sorry, Christina. I pray the Lord blesses you for your heart's desire to share Him with your world! I'd love to hear or read your entire testimony sometime if ever you feel like blogging it, or maybe next time we see each other.

    Love,
    Mary

  2. I agree with Mary!! I, too, would love to hear of the work God has accomplished in your life! He is so gracious to have drawn us into His forgiving arms!

    By the way... I cannot believe the number of words little Sailor is using!! What a big girl you are, ladybug!! We pray for your health and for healing of immune system!

    Blessings, Kaye
