Easter

Easter,
It is so sad how we have allowed Satan to come in and insert the “Easter Buddy” in place of Christ.
We will never be able to fathom what took place on the Cross. Our Lord bared not only the sins of the believers, but the sins of the whole world. While he hung on the cross he was so disfigured not just from the flogging he was given, but from the sins on the world he bared.
Not to many of us take the time to realize the stress he was under at the garden of Gethsemane.
It was not death on the cross he feared. He came on purpose to die. He feared lest He might not get through as the Son of Man. He could get through as the Son of God-Satan could not touch Him there: but Satan’s onslaught was that He would get through as an isolated Figure only; and that would mean that He could be no Saviour. Satan was defeated and this was his final onslaught against our Lord as Son of Man is in Gethsemane.
The agony in Gethsemane is the agony of the Son of God in fulfilling His destiny as the Saviour of the World. The veil is drawn aside to reveal all it cost Him to make it possible for us to become sons of God. His agony is the basis of the simplicity of our salvation. The Cross of Christ is a triumph for the Son of Man. It was not only a sign that Our Lord had triumph to save the human race. EVERY human being can get through into the presence of God now because of what the Son of Man went through. -insert from The Utmost for His Highest; Oswald Chambers

We celebrate Easter that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ paid a high price for us, but the one thing we really need to understand that if we only believe in God the Father, Jesus Christ and the cross we will never enter into the Pearly Gates.
We have to believe also in the Resurrection of Christ. If we do not believe in the whole part and partial we are saved. 1Corinthians 15:1-4. If it was not for the resurrection than we cannot be
resurrected with our saviour when he returns.

We live in the “Grace Period”. Paul’s gospel is the only gospel who speaks of grace.
If we follow the four gospels than we do not have the resurrection of Christ.

My Health

July 2010 I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 is related to a persons autoimmune system. Your autoimmune system is designed to protect your cells, but sometimes something goes wrong and it causes the body to attack itself. This can result in many things, MS and Type 1 diabetes for example. The thread can also rear its ugly head by causing complications to the disorder.
Which in my case caused a nodule to form on my thyroid. I had this removed this month and everything seems to be ok.
To those who know me, know how active I am in taking care of my body through good eating habits and daily exercise (I hate that word) I ride my bike and take walks. This has been very hard for me to wrap my brain around, but after quite a bit of reading and
changing up how I look at food labels has been very encouraging.
I thought I was doing really good in my food choices, but I have seen I can do much better and I have. I know with having
excellent doctors is a plus, but we also have to take responsibility for the choices we make and the decision to either cave in and allow the disease to have its way or to stand up and fight for life. Eating to stay as healthy as possible has always been a part of my life. Now eating to live and enjoy life has taken on a whole new meaning. I have not had to change much, but I do answer 3 questions when I feel like enough is enough.
What do I want
How bad do I want it
and What am I willing to do to make it happen.
This is the motto I have raised my children with and still attack each situation with. Whether it is health, finances, or whatever, it is direct and to the point.
I love my life and I have been extremely blessed to enjoy the life I have.
