Easter was yesterday and it was quite amazing. I started my day off with an incredible church service followed by teaching my usual class of 4th graders who were hopped up on an almost unlawful amount of assorted candies. I guess it will make the normal class next week seem like a cake walk. After church i got to head over to my parents house in 2C (Nampa)
I have been moved out of their house for about 8 months now, so going back every sunday to hang out with my incredible family and incredible dinners that consist of steak meat or rib meat (Dad takes care of me) is always a highlight in my week.
So I cruised out to Nampa and it was a beautiful day outside so i dropped the windows down and threw in a super chill cd (only because my i-pod is dead) that composed a various selection of songs such as worship, acoustic, death cab, and others that i dont really know. Typically my buddy Britt makes all my mix cds so the songs i dont know are most likely crap bands that he is trying to brain wash me with. But in the moment it all sounds good.
As i was driving down the back roads, windows down, with my big yellow sunglasses (which dont look nearly as cool on me anymore without my long hair) i began to thank God for everything going on in my life. I thanked Him for the beautiful day, for His resurrection that we celebrate on Easter, for my awesome family, for the greatest friends in the world, incredible church, wonderful pastors that never gave up on us individuals, for a car that works, for the dinner i was soon to devour…
Now by all means, my life is not “perfect”… But because Jesus is in control of my life, i have nothing to complain, or worry about. My life is full of the joy of the Lord and i am loving every second of it.
I hope you are living your life in this Joy
Because nothing else can compare to a life lived with Christ
