Happy Easter!

"Happy Easter!" Carey says to me. "it's midnight," he says afterwards. We just finished watching "The Fighter" with Amy Adams, Mark Wahlberg (yummy) and Christian Bale (just as yummy, although not in this movie.) More importantly is that we went to an early dinner and then the Easter Vigil service (yes the two hour one, but Carey picked it) it was beautiful. Beginning in darkness, waiting for the light of Christ to arrive. Father Trey said something during mass, well she said a lot of things. Really he asked that we do our best to see the light of Christ in other people, to see the light of Christ when times are tough, when we are struggling, when we feel like we're in darkness. That is a hard thing for me to do, I admit it everyday. I struggle everyday and often times I feel like a hypocrite because I know how easily I become sinful. What an amazing and wonderful Lord we have that he forgives us, and asks us to go toward the light. Go towards Him, he died for us. He rose from the dead, just as he promised so that we could forever glorify Him and live eternally with Him. It just doesn't get more amazing than that.

Even though Lent is over, I downloaded this Woman's Devotion to my phone and I'll have to write about it. I'll also have to write about that Whitney who is light to my life everyday. And of course I'll write about that adorably cute, yet stubborn husband of mine, who has made so many things happen for me. Even from the smallest and sometimes seemingly insignificant decision to bigger dreams, he pushes me and he makes me better. He's a risk taker and I like that about him. He so darn cute too. I know why God sent him to me. I pray daily for him to open his heart completely to God. I know he's not vocal about his faith like I am and I have to respect that. Perhaps I married my father. My father prays a lot, I know that. He has said time and time again "I have a personal relationship with God." :) Makes me smile every time I hear him say that. I would like to hear those conversations. If anyone can makes God laugh, Harvey can. Then again I've been told, "if you want to make God laugh, make plans." HA...I do that often. I bet I crack God up just as much. If you think he doesn't have a sense of humor, think again.

Tomorrow Mom, Dad and Maw Bert (Maw Maw Roberta) will join Carey and I at the Broussard's for Easter Sunday celebratory shenanigan's. Not sure what we'll be doing exactly, but it'll be time with family and I know that I'll see Christ and His light in those people, even if they don't see it in themselves.

JESUS is RISEN today.
