The world's promises are full of emptiness. Jesus of Nazareth left behind empty grave clothes and an empty tomb. Emptiness full of promises. I am one who believes His promises.
It is Easter, celebration of a dead body that was never found. The powerful men of that day used Christians and their children for lion food and living patio torches, but they could never produce the dead body of Jesus Christ.
For the forty days after Jesus rose from the dead, He hung around...no pun intented. The first humans to see Him risen were Mary Magdalene and Mary, mother of James. When this account was written, women were not considered credible witnesses in the court of their day. The account isn't written the way propaganda would have been told.
Peter had betrayed Jesus, even cursed as he exclaimed "I don't know the man". All his male friends had gone into hiding. That is how it is told. One disciple is called "Doubting Thomas" because he had to put his hand into the side of Jesus before he would believe this was really Him. No ghost, but a risen body. Thomas fell at his feet after that, and exclaimed, "My Lord and my God."
He's my Lord and God too. Easter is a very happy day for me. It isn't just about bunnies and baskets, eggs and chocolate. It is about someone very powerful who loves me. The Living Christ.
Happy Easter to all my friends, of all faiths...and of no faith [which also takes faith -- another one of those crazy paradoxes].
He is risen indeed. That is what I base my life on. The stone already rolled away from my own heart. When my body is laid in a casket or an urn, I want them to write somewhere nearby, "Here she isN'T"...
Jesus has gone to prepare a place for me. And He never lied.

Fanime was amazing but it totally left me sick for weeks 
after I got better, I went through the letters I got and found one that had nothing but $20 and a note describing one of my posters. It looked like someone made a mistake and accidentally gave me their money without getting a poster. I want to return that money so If it was you, please e-mail me at Yuumei.yan@gmail.com with your name and address.
And at this moment, in His resurrected body, on the right hand of the Father interceding for us!
The enemy has been defeated
And death couldn't hold You down
We're gonna lift our voice in victory
We're gonna make Your praises loud
God bless and have an awesome Passover
by the way I might take a long break from DA *just to let know^^*
At least my time spent in dA will be a little more planned. Not that I can have a concrete set schedule. It is good to leave room to respond to life, in the moment.
I am putting on my calendar for every 3 months to give myself a special retreat of silence. I used to do that and I am going back to it. I make them a big deal. Now I can add art to it. I will look at victories/progress and set a few goals for the next 3 months. I'm thinking I will collage about what happens in those spans of time. Set those collages around me, to remind me of where I want to go, what matters in life.
I want to keep a closer eye on my words especially. Even the ones I speak to myself in my own head. I want to push out the negativity, make room for bettter stuff.
"Anxious hearts are very heavy but a word of encouragement does wonders." Proverbs 12:25
I want to speak positive things to myself too. Just repeating and agreeing with God about the blessings He wants in my life. MOST of all spiritual growth, being HIS intimate. Available to us all, but it is our choice if we want to gift ourselves with that. I want to give myself the joy of being "a friend of God". Isn't it amazing that this is what HE wants? We can bless His heart. Amazes me.
I will miss you. Maybe you can stop in once a week or something? Or is it too hard to not jump all the way in once you arrive? I now sometimes come in and just erase all the 5,000 deviations in the mailboxes of both accounts, all journals, all everything. I can't keep track and it is too hard to pick and choose through everything.
It is one way of getting current with everyone. The only way, in my case.
To answer your question, I am good. I think in 2 weeks I will have improved my home to the point I will look like a normal pack-rat, and not compulsive hoarder. I plan on getting even past pack-rat, all the way to ORGANIZED pack-rat. Haaa
Over the next week I am going to donate and consign a truckload of stuff. The frames will be the hardest. I used to run a framing business out of my house. With my broken back/neck/tailbone, it was doing further damage. I had to face and accept that. But I want to keep some of the frames to frame some of my own work in the future. It will be hard for me to decide. I am praying for "organizational angels"...what to keep and what to do with the rest.
I was reminded of the verses that say "If you tell this mountain to get up and move, it will!" ...in HIS name. I have about a mountain still to move. After that I will be in a completely new season in my life.
Hope it won't be a long break that you take, but follow your shepherd. I will keep praying for you Katy.
putting art on it it would be great
Amen for that.me too i become a worser person these 2 days i hope that will change i should control myself tho
Aww,thank you I missed you all so much
You have a lot of things to do! God is the answer Pray and he will guide you ^^
