It’s All Because of Jesus

I know I am horrible at blogging.  I’ve heard some people say that you have to be at a “certain point” in your life where you’re ready to really do it and I guess I’m not there yet.  Part of me blames it on the fact that I feel like I just don’t have anything really interesting going on.  I stay pretty busy but there’s not a lot going on that I feel is “blog worthy.”  On the other hand, I’m a big thinker– I have been for as long as I can remember.   The initial purpose of this blog was to get some of the thoughts that are constantly swirling through my head “down on paper.”  Well, I still have the thoughts but I’m not too good at getting them out :)

Okay, enough about my blogging struggles since I think I talk about it everytime I actually sit down to write something…

Today is Good Friday– the start of the Easter weekend.  Yet another holiday that has been “commercialized” to the point that people forget what we’re really celebrating.  I pray that I would never forget– never forget that everything in my life is because of Christ and that the freedom I have today is because of his great sacrifice of love.  One of my favorite worship songs:

Giver of every breath I breathe
Author of all eternity
Giver of every perfect thing
To You be the glory
Maker of Heaven and of Earth
No one can comprehend Your worth
King over all the universe
To You be the glory

And I am alive because I’m alive in You

It’s all because of Jesus I’m alive
It’s all because the blood of Jesus Christ
That covers me and raised this dead man’s life
It’s all because of Jesus I’m alive
I’m alive, I’m alive

I’m kind of hoping we sing this tonight at the Good Friday service at Buckhead Church ;)  My prayer is that I wouldn’t let the picture of what Christ did for me on the cross be something I think of once a year but something that is integrated with my day to day life.  Looking forward to the service tonight and even more to celebrating the Resurrection on Sunday!
