Journal Entry 4/4 From Kristi

The resurrection of Jesus changed everything.

It validated every promise that He ever made.

But it first required His death. Yet God does not do less, He continues to do more. And He never takes a step backwards. Friday only remains for a moment because Sunday always comes right around the corner.

Reminding myself this weekend that Zac’s life has not taken a bad turn. THIS is the adventure that God has always known He would prepare Zachary for.

Admittedly, it is hard to wrap my head around. But we are learning to filter every aspect of this journey in the light of God’s Word, which is absolute truth.

So we will not grieve the long distance races that he once ran for High School Cross Country. They prepared him to “run this race with endurance”. (Heb. 12:1)

We will not grieve the beautiful piano songs and bass riffs that his fingers skillfully played. They prepared him to “offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually”. (Heb. 14:15)

We will continue to remember that God does not give us less, He gives us more, for He takes our life from “glory to greater glory” (2 Cor 3:18)

It’s been a Happy Easter; we were able to worship at church on a Sunday morning for the first time since Nov.

Yes, Because of Easter, everything has changed: My God is alive, My God is with me, My God has a plan, He’s in control.

Indeed, God has been in control the entire time.
