So, another Easter this past weekend – a reminder of new beginnings, new life, rebirth, restoration, unexpected\/pleasant surprises and HOPE (heavenly oxygen permeating earth)!<\/p>\n
The truth is that what Heaven has spoken life over…what Heaven has decided will be resurrected, will!<\/p>\n
No need to worry about what humans say because if Heaven has spoken, then it is settled.<\/p>\n
If you know the Easter story then you know that Friday was excruciating…painful beyond words. The tears, the screaming, the sobbing till voices were lost, the falling asleep from the sheer exhaustion that sadness brought, the shaking, cussing, falling out was all very<\/em> real.<\/p>\n And then Saturday was silent – eerily so…it may have seemed like we were forgotten…may have smelled like Hell won, may have felt like we were fools…may have looked like we were abandoned…<\/p>\n When ALL the senses have us believing one thAng, iF it ain’t what Heaven said, strength to us to shake it off and stamina to stay the course…and believe<\/em> that Sunday.is.Coming!<\/p>\n Early Sunday morning, I’m picturing it…the downpour turned to a light drizzle, the clouds started parting, then the Sun went from a soft hello to HEYYYYYY and Humanity witnessed a miracle ~ death, hell and the grave were defeated and Yeshu\/Jesus showed up like oh, you were ridiN with me for three years, but couldn’t believe me for three DAYS?!<\/p>\n What Heaven has spoken, promised, declared ~ I’m here; standing on those promises with\/for you.<\/p>\n What has Heaven spoken to your heart?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n What are you believing for, despite how things appear and what even<\/em> the well-intentioned say?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n What has come to life again (or anew) for you this season\/spring?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Common Day Hero<\/span><\/strong><\/em>: For the laughs, the prayers, the way you take care of your family (and include us!), the way you genuinely follow Yeshu, thank you\/shukriya!
