For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but was made alive in the Spirit. 1 Peter 3:18

Thank you dear sister in Christ! We promise to honor your inbox and not pack it full with more spam or noise. We share chatter that matters! 

 
I put Him there. Me. I did that. My sins deserve death and punishment. For eternity. And He willingly stood in my place. My Jesus, my Rescuer. Not just for a horrible, humiliating, excruciating physical death, but He also took on God's wrath and punishment and drank from the cup that had my name engraved on it. I will read His story and sit in church and feel a bit like that young girl who didn't want to see her Jesus suffer. I will squirm in my seat when the severity of sins is spoken of. I will feel their weight and see their consequence. Tears will sting my eyes because I know what could have, should have, would have been without Him. It should've been me. Journeying with Jesus to the cross is not a pretty sight. It's uncomfortable. It's necessary. It's heartbreaking. It's beautiful. Don't turn away. Don't let the weight of your sins drag you away from Hope, from Comfort. Don't brush off or ignore His sacrifice for you. Set your eyes on the One who lived a perfect life and then redeemed you with his blood. Feel the soothing comfort of His Word poured out into your wounded heart. Be strengthened by it. Keep your thoughts on the One who loved you enough to walk through the deepest pit of agony so you could have heaven. Fix your heart on the One who battled death and sin and the devil and won. The One who made sure that your name is written on the palm of the Father's hand. And after the suffering, there is joy! The greatest, most satisfying Joy of all. The most beautiful sight for sore eyes. Easter. Walk with Him, clinging to Him every step of the way. It is in this journey that we see the height and depth of His love. Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

🌿 They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna!" "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD!" "Blessed is the king of Israel!" Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written: “Do not be afraid, Daughter Zion; see, your king is coming, seated on a donkey's colt." At first his disciples did not understand all this. Only after Jesus was glorified did they realize that these things had been written about him and that these things had been done to him. Now the crowd that was with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to spread the word. Many people, because they had heard that he had performed this sign, went out to meet him. So the Pharisees said to one another, "See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him! John 12:13-19 🌿 #PalmSunday #BeStillSunday #palmbranches #lent #hosanna #iwillrise . . . 📷 credit @mrsrachelolson of Holy Hen House
Rebecca Wendland and her 2 daughters, Hannah (19) and Bethany (10), are thankful children of God. Their family called Malawi, Africa home for 14 years as missionaries. Together they share a passion to share Jesus anywhere in the world. Rebecca is the author of the book, “Bloom Where God Plants You.” This June, the Wendlands will be speaking “Broken by Sin—Built up in Him” at the #spuronconference What do you bring to our heavenly Father for fixing? We come to our Lord for help, strength and encouragement as He uses our lives for His purpose and glory. We ask for pardon for our past, purpose for the present and encouragement for our future as we see the Day approaching. I Thessalonians 5:11 reminds us to, “Encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” Come hear Rebecca, Hannah, and Bethany at our upcoming #spuronconference this coming June!

What if we all lived with this at the front of our minds?
It’s easy to make plans, maybe not as easy to follow them. Sometimes, our most well-intentioned plans are the ones that are turned inside out and flipped upside down in a split second; changing the course of our lives forever. Samantha Schroth, a 27-year-old Appleton, WI native understands this fact on an intimate level when she incurred a spinal cord injury in a freak accident at the age of 21. Now a paraplegic, Sam is learning what it means to live in faith of God’s love and HIS plan for her life. Since her injury, Sam quickly began to realize the countless misconceptions found in the general public regarding individuals with disabilities. Always loving to learn and teach, Samantha got to work educating both herself and others. She began speaking to various organizations including schools, 4-H clubs, and church groups, as well as writing a blog fittingly entitled "Never Sitting Still" to reflect on this transition in her life. Sam’s advocacy work then took a remarkable turn when Sam was crowned Ms. Wheelchair Wisconsin 2014. She went on to compete at the national level in Long Beach, California where she was crowned Ms. Wheelchair America 2015 and spent the year traveling across the country, educating and advocating on the national stage. Samantha's life has changed in a way she never expected, but is continually reminded of and amazed by the way God cares and provides for his children, regardless of their life situation. ———— Come hear Sam at our upcoming #spuronconference this coming June!
