Easter Message

During Holy Week I was channel surfing, and happened to pause on an interview of a minister who was apparently very well known. Something he said in his closing remarks really stuck with me. And oddly enough, I didn't even hear it clearly, but the gist of the message stayed with me all week. It was something to the effect of whenever you believe that a part of you, or some aspect of your life is dead and gone, you can revive it, you can bring it back, and that is the true essence of Easter. It was something in the way he said it. It just made complete sense, and he said it in a way I could apply it to me and my every day life. I mean, I understand Easter; Jesus' death and resurrection, I do. But sometimes it just takes hearing it from a different perspective, at the right time in your life, to really "hear" it. Which brings me to my recent outburst of writing, or this constant feeling that I need to write it all down. I used to journal, jot and write on a regular basis. I found it very therapuetic. It is definitly the healthiest way to burn stress energy I know. It is also an active creative outlet that I haven't had in years. I'm finding my voice again, and I do have something to say. Even though it had been dead and buried for years, with faith, action and commitment I can bring it back. Whatever time it needs, it needs. There is no deadline on this, I just know it needs to happen. So thats where I am.
