I am overwhelmed by how much my family has delved into the little details of the upcoming holiday, such as the necessity of having the right butter-lamb and a specific type of ham. This is not really a break from the ordinary; I am more surprised at how much I seem to have gotten swirled up into it, taking on more responsibility for a brunch than taking time to think about the magnitudes of meaning behind the holiday.
On a more hopeful note. I went - for the first time - to Mary's wednesday group. It seems like I couldn't have picked a better week to start going. As a wonderful group of women teach me how to leave baggage at the cross, I'm coming to better understand Easter, and more so - what it means to wear the dust of my Rabbi.

Butter lamb, and a rabbi's dust; easter ham, and a cross...
Each year, I find myself thinking differently about what we are doing...
...which is why I'm very excited for the Vineyard Easter gathering, stripped of the tradition, and just pure celebration :)
Wow.....i'm not that disciplined in fact i am the kinda person who will drink too much wine, and eat it even it's getting that stare back at you look..... I believe that serving God is a constant celebration in worship, prayer, and fasting (the fasting i'm not to good at). Emotion aside: faith sustained by the Holy Ghost is like the intravenous supply from heaven, with a twist of awesome personality, great sense of humour and spirit filled loving kindness that only He can fill me with.
God is Holy beyond any understanding and He often humbles me and some time the Spirit fills me so much that i have to back away and i know that He is God in all three persons. Yet my Master and Lord is makes me laugh,cry and hold me as His favourite one when we are together.
When the world hates Him i want to love Him and when things aren't going my way i don't want to be offended by Him.
i read the Bible, hear the Holy Spirit speak to me and then i walk outside and see the magnitude of His creation and i know that when it's all coming down i want to be with God, Jesus my master,creator of the universe and Lord of the battle.
Jer 25:30 "Preach it all, Jeremiah. Preach the entire Message to them. Say: "'GOD roars like a lion from high heaven; thunder rolls out from his holy dwelling-- Ear-splitting bellows against his people, shouting hurrahs like workers in harvest.
Jer 25:31 The noise reverberates all over the earth; everyone everywhere hears it. GOD makes his case against the godless nations. He's about to put the human race on trial. For the wicked the verdict is clear-cut: death by the sword.'" GOD's Decree.
