Happy Easter!

To me Easter means celebrating Christ. Celebrating that Christ paid for my sins and died for me so that I would have a way to overcome my sins, problems, and weakness and someday qualify to return to live with my Heavenly Father. His entire life was an example to me - how to live, what's important, and how to overcome problems and obstacles in my life. Over the last few months I have been working to get over some challenges mainly by trying to put the Lord first. I'm not fully there yet but I really want to be able to fully trust my Savior in ALL areas of my life. By trying to give up some of my pet fears and putting the Lord first I have felt His presence and love so strongly lately that I now know that I have been wasting YEARS of my life in fear! It has been so freeing to give up some of my fears and feel the peace and freedom that come from the love the Lord replacing the fears that have been holding me back. I am so grateful that Christ gave up His life so that I could have a chance to learn about it, take advantage of it, and have my life changed by it.

This video is one of my favorites and I think it is a perfect way to celebrate Easter and share the love and peace that I have been feeling lately. I always feel so calm after watching it - I hope you do too. Happy Easter!
