He Is Risen

First let me say that I am relieved to be finished with

all regular tests and just found out my last Pharmacology

assignment was the highest grade all semester! Get it girl!

Now for finals!!!

Yesterday our bible study finished Romans and Paul

is pretty much amazing! I love the way he writes and 

backs up all of his statements with facts and previous 

happenings from the old testament. I feel like I 

got a history lesson during this study. Not to mention

all the wonderful friendships God has formed  through

our journey in Romans. So here are a couple things

I have gained from this semester's bible study.

I am an awful sinner and I am so happy to say

that my God loves me and has saved me by 

his amazing grace. I don't have to pretend to

be perfect or have it all together because God 

knows and loves me just the way I am. 

That said my life is this tiny spec in the big 

scheme of God's plan and I  long to spend it 

worshiping the greatness of my perfect savior!

I am not bound by the world or a slave to sin 

nor am I under strict religious rules that I must 

struggle to follow. I am here to please my father

and do what I can for the kingdom with what my

father has so greatly blessed me with. 

And though in Romans 12 I got overwhelmed 

by all the seemingly super human traits that 

Paul says we should strive for I am comforted

that our God has given us the holy spirit to help 

us in this life!!!

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating

and drinking but a matter of righteousness, peace, and

joy in the Holy Spirit.

Romans 14:17

This Easter I am so very happy that my Jesus 

has risen.
