-->WE ARE NEVER THE SAME WHEN WE ENCOUNTER THE LOVE OF GOD.
Well Easter has come and gone once again. But I wanted to touch on the highlights of my day today :)
1.) I woke up to find an Easter basket for me. It consisted of my favorite Easter candy such as butterfinger eggs, a bag of dove chocolate eggs, robin eggs [woppers], reese cups, lifesaver gummies and some other things were thrown in the mix. Then there was the real deal. It was a trifold Disney Princess coloring book. You can color, paint and do games in this thing :) Needless to say the Easter Bunny visited me a little early this year when I got a bike on Friday.....
2.) Of course it was slightly bittersweet for me with there only being one Easter basket and no Trip here to sneak peeks with. When I thought about how I kind of wanted to cry, I just smiled and told myself that he will be home in 2 weeks so no need to be a basket case [haha] yea if you didn't get the humor in that then, um, loosen up a bit :)
YUP moving on......
3.) Mom was able to talk to Trip on the phone this morning before church...lucky
4.) Service was amazing this morning [great job Pastor Tim]
-->"His word is His will and His will is His word. If He says it, He means it!"
5.) We had lunch at Grandma and Grandpa Mayzes house. It was scrumptous as usual. I, of course ate waaaaay too much, it made my biking the day before a little pointless. Oh well.
6.) Mom, Dad and I went to go to Dicks Sporting Goods so I could get some butt shorts, only to get there and find out they were closed. At least we had an adventure for the day.
7.) I made a deal with mom. I told her if she would let me take a nap I would get up before dinner and vacuum the living room and clean off the dining room table for her. She agreed, so I was able to enjoy a 2 hour nap. I was grumpy when I woke up, nothing new there.
8.) I did manage to vacuum the living room, clean the dining room table AND eat about a million butterfinger eggs before the Bauers showed up. In the end eating that candy was a bad idea....my dinner was spoiled, but no worries I prevaled and managed to eat yet another BIG meal making it twice for one day :/
9.) Mom cooked and cooked and cooked, I mean she started cooking YESTERDAY for tonights meal. She means business when she cooks....ha anyways she made an amazing meal that we 
were able to enjoy with Heidi, Roy, Robbie and Jack.
were able to enjoy with Heidi, Roy, Robbie and Jack. 10.) Mom being the grandma that she is to Jack and Robbie had Easter baskets for them. They LOVED their elmo and cookie monster puppets. And we also learned that the puppets will most likely be BALD by the end of the week because of how much blue and red they shed. Good luck to Heidi with keeping the shedding contained haha.
11.) Mom and I made a bunny cake yesterday that was cute.....until we ate the ears for dessert. The picture gives you a good visual of what I am talking about. I just feel sorry for the poor bunny when we start taking chunks out of his face.
12.) We never took a picture as a family in our Easter outfits. SHOCKER.
13.) Lastly, we learned today that Dad can draw very well :)
What today REALLY boils down to:
Today may have just been another hectic, crazy day in the Holland household but we also celebrated together the Resurrection of Jesus. We had silly moments, serious moments but most of all we had happy moments. I hope you were able to have a great Easter with the people that mean the most to you. I also hope you remember, not just today but EVERYDAY that Jesus did indeed die on the cross for ALL of us. He gave His life for YOU, He was beaten and crucified for YOU. He rose again because He said He would and for that we should be continuously thirsting and seeking after HIM. Thank you Jesus for bringing life more abundantly for all of us.
"For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. "-->Hebrews 4:12
