Easter didn't turn out quite like we had planned. I woke the kids up early on Easter morning to get ready for our sunrise service. They did a good job getting dressed quickly (especially for that hour of the morning) and I was getting ready to fix Keziah's hair when she got sick. For a brief moment I could feel the disappointment sweep over me but God spoke to my heart and helped me let go of any expectations I had for the day. After all, the whole point of the day was to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. I can do that anywhere. Even at home with a sick daughter. So even though the day wasn't what I had planned, it was still beautiful in so many ways.
I quickly snapped a few pictures before the rest of the family went to church. Next year I want to try an idea from a friend of mine who took pictures of her kids the week prior to Easter. That makes so much sense!
Isaac
Josiah
Titus
Tirzah
Keziah and mom at home (unfortunately I didn't get a picture of her when she was all dressed up.)
After church we had Isaac take some pictures of Nathan and I. A family picture just wasn't going to happen this Easter.
I am so thankful for the hope we have in Jesus. It's such a crazy, mixed-up, sinful world we live in and I know I wouldn't survive if it were not for Him and His sacrifice for me. He is our only hope!
