I have been wanting to make a post last week, but did not have time. My life is no other than crazy! I survived my son's birthday sleep over. He had a blast! He slept most of the afternoon on Saturday. To be a kid again...and be able to stay up that late, and sleep the next day! We had a birthday party for a relatives 40th birthday on Saturday evening. It was so nice to be able to be with family on such a special day. God had planned the day to be exceptionally warm, for this time of year. We had a chance to spend time out beside the firepit. I must say that there is absolutely nothing like a camp fire. It might even be one of my favorite smells. It just takes me back to so many memories as a kid and as a family now. Our family just loves to go camping. Peaceful, is just one word to describe sleeping in the woods.
Being in the mountains just amazes me as to what God has made. Not to mention that it brings our family together, like no other vacation has done.

On Sunday, I went to church with my mother and my husband. The kids were staying over at relatives. I should back up to before I went to church. See it was daylight savings time this weekend. We sprung forward! Which means we lost an hour. To say the least, I really could have slept in, easily slept in. So glad that I did not, I always feel so much better when I go to a Church service. The sermon really hit hard. The Pastor was talking about the table of God. We as Christians should come to the table, and he talked about the meaning of communion. As I sat there and listened, I realized that I am not the Christian that God wants me to be. I am a born again Christian, I believe that God died for me on the cross so that I may live again. I know that I need to do more....lay it out on the table and let it all in God's hands. We then had communion.....the band sang.....at the end of the song, they add What can wash away my sins, nothing but the blood of Jesus. Every time this year, when Easter approaches, I think of the pain Jesus had to endure for me. That song plays over in my head, nothing but the blood of Jesus. WOW, what a powerful song! What can I do to become closer to God......
