Hope God Blessed your Easter as He did mine

Good Afternoon, Today is going well. I didn't get up at 6am like planned so Alex and I didn't go to Holy Cross. Ken called at 8am and said he is on his way not realizing I wasn't going to the 9am service but the 10:30 service. We went together and God took the anger away from me and I was able to rejoice and praise His Name. They also played I will rise from Chris Tomlin which is one of my songs that got me through the first couple of weeks and when I need to hear it God sends it still. We had a great lunch that Jennifer and mom helped with. They took Alex to go see Anthony and have an easter egg hunt. Kenneth stayed with me. He helped me a lot today by helping get the love seat out of my bedroom and helped me move the bed so when the workers need to get to the windows they can. He also took down the cement stumps that was propping the bed up. So now I just have a mattress on the floor. He helped Bart load the frig that was in the garage into his truck so they can have it. Right now I am enjoying the peace and quiet just thinking of all God has done for me. While moving things in the bedroom I did come across a box that had some of Chris' things in it. I went through it and found his class ring, rosary, and pen/pencil set. Also in it was a rough draft of the note he put with my "biggest" ring for our 5th anniversary, it made me tear up because it said that we've been through good and bad times but with the love of God and eachother we have survived and will continue to have great times and when we celebrate our 10 year we will look back and smile and laugh. He also said that in the next 5 years lets try to teach Alex the important things and truth and love. This December would've been 7 years married and this August would have been 10 years together. I am praising God that Chris is in no more pain and suffering. God has given me that peace that He is a forgiving and healing God and that Chris wouldn't have done this if he was in his right mind.

Jennifer and Alex just arrived back and Jennifer had me listen to her church's sermon, while I did that she took Alex to the park. Wow, I saved the sermon. Jesus died on a Friday and so did Chris but Friday DIDN'T END!!! I am not going to let Friday end there. Jesus has my name and knows how to help me through. I am not going to cry over it because I know the end result. Jesus asked Mary M. why are you crying? Our Lord has fulfilled His promise and is Risen. Hallelujah!!!! Thank you Jennifer for this suggestion. If any of you want to hear this go to www.fmcfw.org then go to downloads and first selection then April 12th.

My prayer today is that He will continue to reveal Himself to me and to others. I thank God for the ultimate sacrifice He has given and fulfilling His promise. I thank Him for healing Alex and keeping her healthy these past several days. I thank Him for friends and family as well. I pray that He will heal the sick, wounded, and the broken hearts in His timing and give the patience to us who wait for His timing. As for me and my house we will serve the Lord!
