Spring

We celebrated Easter at our new post in Stanwood. The kids got all dressed up and we were so excited to be a part of our new church somehow beginning on Easter seemed appropriate.


Over 900 people came to the Stanwood High School auditorium and Tim preached a great word on the empty tomb and the revolution Jesus started. We served breakfast to 55o people in the school cafeteria which was so great. Tim & I got to meet a lot of wonderful people.

Now...we just have to sell our house so we can move to the community of Stanwood/Camano Island. So it's been a couple of weeks of open houses, visits from realtors and keeping the house clean with three kiddos around. Not super fun. But through it all, I am realizing how good the reason for Easter, moving and keeping my house clean is. A life with God in it is worth it. Church and a clean house won't get me into heaven. It won't get anyone into heaven. Only the love and grace of the Savior can do that. But, I will do my part but not forget the REASON for it all.
