Easter

On the 14th for work we had a mandatory meeting.  At this particular meeting my coworkers and I found out that we were all losing our jobs.  The 31st is our last day working (with a severance package that goes through May 13th).  That was a rough day.  It was Sarah's 4th birthday and it took so much to make her day a fun and happy day.  But over the last couple weeks feelings of being frightened and scared for how things were going to work out started being replaced with feelings that things were going to work out.  This last weekend our family took a much needed campout.  We went Thursday after the kids got out of school and Mike got home from work, and came home on Saturday.  We got to relax, and hike(we did 3.1 miles in 2 days), and just enjoyed being able to be out in nature.  It definatly helped me to get my mind off of things for a few days.  Saturday night was the Women's Conference (for my church).  The message throughout the conference was Service.  I started wondering if there was something I was suppose to do or someone I was suppose to serve.  Then yesterday morning I turned on the Spoken Word, Easter message.   One of the things that was said was that Easter is when we celebrate the Ressurection of Christ. That through the Attonement it brings hope. Hope that brings light and that will get us through the darkness.  Light chases out all darkness.  Christ is that light and through him all things are possible. 

I'm grateful for my Savior.  I'm gratefull he died so that he could he and all of us could be ressurected.  He definately is that light in my life.  Without him I would be so lost and confused.  I'm grateful for His love, guidence and His patience with me.  I'm grateful for my family. For all they do and for their love.
