April

We celebrate.   A year of healing, a year of eating anything and everything.  No holding back.  We celebrate Jesus in all of His glory and His supernatural.   He is our superhero.  That is what we celebrate.     April.    The more I look back.. its pretty significant in our life.   April 2010.... Levi was only a month old, and he was already in the ER for severe acid reflux... it was the beginning.   April 2011... we were hospitalized after a very "dark" winter of him being very ill, and a sip of apple juice pushed us over the top.  His little body couldn't keep up anymore.  We spent 5 days in the London Children's Hospital... from apple juice.   April 2012... He was eating for the first time ever..... He was 2 years old and we had 5 broths, one meat, and one veggie.   It took us, 4 months to get those... but we got them!!   It was also the start of my "1000 gifts" journey.... it began to set my soul free.  April 2013.   Miraculous Healing.   April 2014.... celebration.... and on the greatest day ever.  Good Friday.  The day that Jesus died to set us free.   The greatest gift in all of history.  A gift of love and grace.  In a way that we will never truly be able to comprehend, but can so easily accept.  FREEDOM people.  Freedom, only found in Him.  Don't stay "stuck",  He is not a God of "stuck".  He is a God of new.    Who doesn't like new? The beauty of it, the smell of it, the excitement of it.  New is fresh.  I love how God choreographed it so beautifully.  The month of April in all 4 years of our journey of "Finding Peace In Every Situation".    Even placing our healing anniversary on the day where it all can begin, and end.  The cross.   Good Friday.  The power of that day, the power of the cross, who hung on it.  Died on it.... so I ... You...   can be washed with His blood.  Redeemed.  It is not a coincidence.... it is a statement.   A statement of who Jesus is.   The author of perfection.   The author of my story, the author of yours.   He created us all for a purpose, a beautiful part of His story called life.   It is not perfect.   But it is filled with promises.  Promises that He will use ALL things, even the HARD things for our good, and His glory (Romans 8:28) and those hard things become beautiful.  He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end. (Ecclesiastes 3:11)    I hope this Good Friday, is a beautiful day for you, a day of laying it all at the cross.   A day of accepting His great gift.  A day of celebration.  A day of new.    Levi is a testimony of it.   You have walked it with us.  You are part of it.  Celebrate it with us.   Jesus is a God of light, deliverance, restoration, redemption, setting free, healing, love, grace, NEW.
