Happy Easter, friends.

There’s one thing I know for sure in this uncertain, seemingly out of control world we reside in. He is risen indeed. Just like He said He would. And while unwanted news or unexpected events may come at us from all directions, God is still on the throne. He does all things well. He knows the end of the story.

I trust His heart. And therein is the peace that passes all understanding.

Thank You, Jesus.

Rejoicing in Him,
