Family ,Friends,& Jesus

<--- The art of slacklining. It's harder than it looks. But its fun :) 


So I need to be posting every week. This is good practice for me,
I need to become a better writer (for my profession of course). So I will try my best to post weekly.
This week is about my easter break :) Since I go to a baptist school I
get to have Thursday through Monday off.

Thursday my friends and I decided to head to Hunington beach.
We brought firewood, towels, a guitar, a slack line and s'mores stuff.
We walked over two miles to go get lunch at TK Burgers.
Once we returned from lunch we decided to start our fire and start singing worship songs.
This, my friends, was the PERFECT afternoon.
Let me paint the scene for you..
Some of my greatest friends, music (guitar and scratchy beach voices), sound of the crashing waves, smell of the fire (I like it ok..), chocolate (my favorite thing in the world), a gorgeous sunset with beautiful and vibrant colors, and Jesus in the midst of our worship.
Here's a picture of what I'm trying to paint, I promise, it is much better in person! 

These are the awesome moments that I await for in heaven..
The moments when we can just spend time in fellowship with one another with Christ as the center. 
These heavenly moments are glimpses of what is to come, without the pain, fear, and hurting of course. 

Another heavenly moment was on Good Friday. My sister, brother and I went to the OC to watch 
one of our favorite Christian Spanish bands "Rojo." Man, oh man, are they filled with the Holy Spirit! 
They sure can bring worship, heaven on earth style. I was crying my eyes out, overwhelmed by the lyrics
of their songs. They encouraged us to pray for the nations, to reach out to those countries that have never 
heard of the love of God. It was such a great way to spend my Good Friday.

We were so close. It was awesome :) 

Last but not least, I want to talk about Easter.. for me as a follower of Christ this day is extremely important. It is the day that broke any wall of separation between mankind and God. Jesus, the son of God, gave himself, and was crucified on the cross for all of our sins. Three days later, Jesus resurrected from the dead, proving that God has all the power and all authority. Victory was proclaimed over all the earth. Satan no longer has a hold on us, Christ does! On Easter we celebrate that victory, my family has a tradition 

of attending my parents church for their sunrise service (which starts at 6). We also got to spend some time 

with my extended family, prior to that. We watched my uncle get baptized, it was a big blessing to be a part of that. 

I know, I write a lot... I want to say more, but for the sake of this post not being a novel I'm going to cut it short. 

I hope your Easter was as blessed as mine was! :)
