Easter weekned

 Yesterday, good Friday, was absolutely beautiful! I spent the majority of the day inside packing/cleaning, but it was nice to get outside for a few minutes here and there. I thought often about the sacrifice Jesus made for me. He paid a debt he did not owe so that I could have salvation I do not deserve! What a mighty, loving God we serve! I'm so very thankful he loved a sinner like me enough to die a horrible death on a cross so that I could spend eternity with him. All I had to do was accept his free gift of salvation! God is good. I can't wait for tomorrow either. We get to celebrate the fact that HE IS ALIVE! All other gods that people serve are dead, but my God; he is alive!!!
 Tomorrow will be extra special for Bryson, me, and Elliana. Not only is it Easter, but we are having Elliana's baby dedication at Ebenezer tomorrow. What does that mean to us? A baby dedication acknowledges God's sovereignty not only over Elliana, but also me and Bryson. We are presenting our baby before God and His people asking for grace and wisdom in carrying out our responsibilities as parents. Responsibilities such as teaching her the Word of God and His principles for life. Also, the responsiblity we have to not only tell/teach her right from wrong, but to be that example in her life. We will also be praying that Elliana might one day trust Jesus Christ as her Savior for the forgiveness of sin. This is something that Bryson and I have been praying for since before she was ever even conceived. We hope that one day she realizes the decision to accept or reject Christ as her Lord and Savior is the single most important decision she can make in her life.
 I'm not on my personal computer so I don't have any pictures to download for this post, but I'm sure I'll have tons after tomorrow. I still have not completely decided on a dress for Elliana for Easter. There are two that I'm deciding between. They are both adorable, so it'll be a tough choice. I guess it's a good problem to have though.
 Bryson is out turkey hunting with a buddy today. Elliana is currently in the living room (at Mammie and Pappy's house) entertaining them all. We just plan to chill out and enjoy time with family today. I sure hope the sun comes out soon, but I'm afraid it's going to be rainy all day. At least tomorrow's weather is looking promising! Happy Easter everyone!
