He is Risen

As I have faced many significant changes in my life over the past ten months, I have learned many things.

I have journeyed through desolate wastelands of heartache. I have experienced a pain so deep, it is often not understood by those who have not experienced it themselves.

I have felt my spirit yearn for relief from these mortal trials. 

I have felt alone... 

...forgotten... 

....betrayed. 

I have felt the sting of rejection down to the very depths of my soul.

But, for all those moments of pain; for all those wounds inflicted upon me, spiritually, and emotionally; 

I have felt peace.

I have felt the loving embrace of my Savior; it has literally pulled me up out of the ashes of a broken life, and made me whole.

The Atonement makes me whole. It fills in even the deepest cracks of despair. 

The darkest chasms of that desolate wasteland of heartache have been bridged by His love.

Every fiber of my broken being has been healed by the Savior. 

I am extremely grateful for the blessing of knowing that my Redeemer lives, and I am blessed by the assurance that He loves me.

As I celebrate this Easter with my sweet daughters, I am reminded of the significance of centering our lives on Jesus Christ.

He is the light, He is the way back to our Father in Heaven. I know these truths without a shadow of a doubt.

He is risen, and He will come again.

Have a blessed Easter. I love each of you.
