I am forgiven, because you were forsaken.

These few days are the most important of my year. The reason I am alive.

Despite my selfishness, ambitions, and sin that have repeatedly consumed my life, God has waited, patiently and continually with arms open for me. For me to realize the abundance and extraordinariness of His love. It took over 20 years to sink in and it continues to, but over the past few years I've learned so much and seen God's grace and love. I love my life; it's ups, downs, and all-arounds. No matter the situation, I lean on the fact that God has greater understanding than I will ever have.

I am so thankful to have my life and to be able to use God's talents he has blessed me with.

But, it's only because God gave his only begotten Son to this world. He came to Earth in human form. I cling to this. God know us.

But, then Jesus sacrificed himself...for me. for you. for this world. So, that we may live. Eternally.

One of my favorite Bible verses is  Mark 15:39. And when the Centurion, who stood in front of Jesus, heard his cry and saw how he died, he said ' Surely this man was the Son of God!'

A nonbeliever...now a believer. A life forever changed.

Jesus said a few quotes on the cross... (5 at most, I think)...


Moral of the Story: Jesus spoke little during the Crucifixion. Luke 23:46-Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." When he had said this, he breathed his last. How moving. How complete. How finished. How I want that. How I am thankful that he could do it. How sinful I am. How grateful I am for grace. 


Without Friday, Sunday is meaningless.
