Easter 2010 came and went so quickly. We didn't participate in any Easter egg hunts or Easter party's, but we did spend our morning at church. I love a good egg hunt but that didn't seem to be Gods focus for my life this year. Let me start from the day before. I had gotten off work already feeling stressed about the day's normal problems, picked up Jenise for our usual sleepover, and headed home after a nice 8 minute tan that ultimately burned my face the next day. Jenise and I arrived at my apartment and received a call from Jon that he will be late coming over that night. After a few exchanged words and lack of double sided tape, I lost it. I felt so alone, stressed, and exhausted from this weeks wedding planning. As soon as Jon got home I told him I was going to go take a trip to Wal-Mart and get the tape myself. About an hour later Jon and Jenise catch up with me after I had been crying and out of breath from running the tennis court. Of course Jon and I made up so no worries there. It was later after church on Sunday I realized that the devil was trying to keep me from church that morning. I had even sent a text to Charlotte (pastors wife and my mentor) on Saturday night letting her know I would not be making it to church that next morning. She convinced me to go to church that morning and to just relax. Come to find out that after teaching a lesson I didn't anticipate teaching all five of my Sunday school kids accepted Christ for the first time. God had amazing plans for our Junior Youth and if I had fallen to the devils schemes my kids might have never come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. I am so excited that God has used me through this trial to see my kids accept Him!
