H54F- Good Friday Style

"And when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on the right and the other in the left. Then Jesus said, Father forgive them for they know not what they do... "
Luke 23:33-34

Imagine living this day 2000 years ago? Could you had handled it knowing what was taking place? To know what Jesus suffered is more then I let myself think about. That's selfish of me I know, because he did that for me and you. Alas when I read ill skip over that or if someone asks me to watch The Passion of The Christ with them I decline. It's to heartbreaking to see. Even though no movie or re-enactment can even come close to what he suffered. With that suffering came our redemption! So as bittersweet as it is his suffering paved our way to him! I Have WAY to much up in heaven waiting on me to even give thought to turning back now! If you don't know Jesus in a personal way then I encourage you strongly to. Accept him in your life and find peace you never dreamed possible!

1.) I'm thankful for my opportunity to serve our Lord. Although I don't witness enough I'm thankful that I can.

2.) I'm thankful for the Cross and what it represents. It's paved a road to heaven for us. An eternal life of peace and happiness.

3.) I'm thankful for my family. My mother, my grandmothers, and so many more have been such wonderful lights to my life and a source of encouragement.

4.) I'm thankful for Waneta Church of God, being there helped mold me and strengthen me. They taught me how to love people.

5.) I'm thankful for that 3rd day. The stone was rolled back and there was no denying what had taken place.

I love this song by Casting Crowns. Its such a perfect explanation.
Glorious Day


Linking up with Lauren From My Grey Desk Blog

High Five For Friday!

So today is actually my Sunday, I go back to work tomorrow and start off my week but that doesn't mean that I dont love friday! I work 2nd shift on Saturday so since I don't have to be up early it feels like I have a longer weekend. Works for me. Moving On. So the point to this is i'm linking up with Lauren from My Grey Desk Blog for H54F. I just recap 5 of my fave things from the past week. Starting with

1. I bought this book! I'm so excited about it!! The entire book is to help sort out all of the loads of info out there on how to eat right and exercise. I HATE fad diets and its so confusing because some say to cut this and that out and you just dont know what to do! Obviously this chick knows what she's talking about so I trust her information in this book!

2.) I went out last Saturday night with My Aunt Shell and cousins Amanda and Kenzie. We just shopped around a bit and went to eat. It was so fun getting out with them! I don't get out with them as often as I wish so I enjoyed myself a lot and laughed a ton as usual!

Aunt Shell is in gray, Amanda in Pink and Kenz in the greenish-blue this was at Christmas.

3.) This evil tyrant. I love her so good.

4.) I use to go to the grocery store and load up on my usual junk and EVERY DANG TIME I would get behind some "health nut" as I thought who would have a buggy full of fresh produce and wheat, whole grain, healthy stuff. Part of me was just gagged out and then another part of me wished that my grocery items looked like that. So its so nice to open my fridge and see this!

The beer and coke aint mine ya'll! It's Ryan Jo's!

5.) I've laughed over this until I can't anymore. My legs were sore danggit!!

Happy Friday!!! What have you got planned for your weekend??











Behind!

So I had this wonderful plan to do a High Five For Friday Post but that didnt work out... So I will still do an unofficial, its saturday, but i'm gonna tell ya'll 5 things anyways post. Next week will be official! Moving on:

1.) Weigh In Wednesday was a Highlight forsure! I hadn't added up the totals so I was so excited about that!

2.) A few Random people I seen through out the week told me they were keeping up with my blog! No words for how excited that makes me!!!

3.) This cutie.

4.) I went to Zumba this week! I do zumba all the time at my house by myself or some of my friends come over and zumba with me but this week I got brave and went to Ashley Judds zumba at Gray Hawk Reformed Church. A LOT of people go! I was so nervous that I would pass out or something but I was able to keep up pretty good although I was still a mess. Cooridination isn't my strong point. Oh Well! It was a good work out and then afterwards she does around 20 minutes of abs exercises! I'll be going back! And you should go to! If your nervous about people watching you dont worry about that! You dont have time to people watch your only worry is keeping up with the moves! If you dont like plain original exercising give zumba a shot! Its funnnnnnnnnn!

No Judgement Though.

 

5.) Taryn and I ordered us some fancy pants sports bras i'm pumped about it!

 

 

Have a good weekend!!!
