He is not here, He is risen!



I just hafta think back to what it would have been like when Jesus arose. What must have people been thinking? I wonder what I would have done. How must of those ladies felt when the angel said to them, "why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen" (luke 24:5-6). How must have Mary felt when she saw that her Lord was not in the grave and then He appeared unto her in the garden? (John 20:11-17) I mean what would have you done? Its not an everyday occasion when somebody rises from their grave! I would hafta say that I would probably be like most of these people, I would have doubted...sure Jesus made mention several times that on the third day He would arise but to actually witness it! It musta been something! But aren't we so thankful that He did arise on that third day, so that He could finish the work that He was sent here to do and then to go back to Heaven to prepare a place for us as He said He would! Now all we hafta do is cling to that hope, that promise that He left us.....that He will return someday. Will He be returning for you??







 
 
I just thought I'd share this song, kinda just sums it up. Jesus has conquered death and grave, do we stand here looking for the living among the dead?? Lets REJOICE! HE HAS RISEN!! Praise God!!!
 
I trust ya'll had a blessed Easter weekend! I know I did, going to church for Easter services, and being together with family Sunday evening, what a blessing it was.

    It is easy for me to say "Jesus rose". But to really realize what that means! I have seen people die. I have seen people buried. But I have never seen a dead person come back to life! AMAZING! It is hard to comprehend that kind of AWESOMENESS!

Changes

Yup big changes! I'm moving...to Fairbury, Illinois, in less than a month. Who would have ever thought? Definitely was not in my plans to be doing, or ever doing! But God had a different plan in mind, and I know its a greater plan than I could have ever come up with. But if it would have been my choice, Illinois would have been definitely not on the top of my list. Don't get me wrong I love the people, but it's just a little to fast paced for me, has no dirt roads or even gravel for that matter, and there's lots n lots of people and towns and houses! :) A little different from what I'm used to here in Bern, Kansas! But I'm getting more excited. It's going to be a big adjustment tho. I'm gonna miss my dear, crazy, awesome, maybe a little odd at times, Family so much! And my wonderful friends, whom I will dearly miss! But don't worry I will be home a lot!....I think! :) And the big open spaces where you can't see anything or anyone for miles around...

Greetings from.....Oh wait...I'm still here in Kansas and still alive. Doing what I love. Working with and milking cows and more cows, anticipating the upcoming Kansas State Fair and the World Dairy Expo! And attempting to teach the kiddos again. Which has been going much more smoothly than last year. Even tho yes, I'd much rather be outside, it has been a great experience for me and I think I'm learning more than the kids. :) When God says 'He won't give us more than we can't handle' is very true. Because I really don't know how I've made it a year and now starting an other year helping the kids with school. Don't get me wrong, I just love spending time with my siblings and I love them to the moon and back, but teaching just isn't my thing. Thus it is a tremendous experience for me and teaching me so many things! God has a crazy way putting us through things to learn crazy amazing things! I recently was at Ignite, a Church function in Il...
