“Had you met me just five minutes before my husband confessed his betrayal to me, you would have met a completely different woman. I was an established small group leader at Celebration Church, on the prayer line after services, and a Christian coach for women. I was an established FREEDOM leader,...

“He received 39 stripes because 40 was known to kill a man. They wanted him alive. They held handfuls of his beard, and hair and pulled it out by the roots. They wanted him alive. They kicked, punched, and spit on him for hours. Until there wasn't a single spot on his body not covered in blood. They wanted him alive.

They shoved a crown of thorns down on his head so harshly it stuck in his skin. They wanted him alive. After hours of being beaten, mocked, whipped, flogged, and tortured they made him walk with a cross. They made him carry it. A rough piece of wood with splinters digging into fresh wounds. They wanted him alive.

They wanted him to feel every ounce of pain they could bring. He had to feel it in order to heal us. Crucifixion was historically one of the cruelest most tortured deaths a human could face. Hours upon hours of torture. Torture most of us can not mentally think of because the cruelty isn't normal. It isn't something our minds can comprehend. We celebrate Easter with pastel colors, happy children hunting eggs, and chocolate. Truth is there was absolutely nothing happy about the day Jesus died. It was cruel, bloody, and nasty.

He could have stopped all of it. He could have called every angel in heaven to demolish every person standing and shouting "Crucify Him!" He didn't. He knew in order to have a Sunday you have to have a Friday. He knew in order to have joy you have to carry your cross. He felt everything that day. He felt how your heart broke wide open when you had to watch your baby die. He felt how heavy your life was when you were staring down the barrel of a gun wondering if the man you called husband was going to shoot you. He carried the weight of the burden you have felt since your spouse died and life just doesn't seem right since.

On that cross he held the ra**st and murderers, the sinner and the saint. He leveled every playing field and said ALL of you are worth it. He knew he had to carry the cross. He never promised the cross you carry in this life would not be heavy. His wasn't. His promise is that Sunday is coming.

No matter how heavy Friday is. Financially, emotionally, mentally, or physically. Friday is heavy. That cross is weighing you down and you are about to crumble under its weight. His promise was simply this. He won't make you carry it alone. What kind of king would step down from his throne for this?

Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God did. For you.
He did every bit of it for you and me. Oh yes it is heavy. So heavy sometimes you do not think you can take one more step. But look up, because Sunday is coming.”

I do not know who wrote this, but it is POWERFUL!

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase, “Healing the creative soul”? (Feedback is definitely appreciated).

“Failure to help the gifted child reach his/her potential is a societal tragedy, the extent of which is difficult to measure but what is truly great. How can we measure the sonata unwritten, the curative drug undiscovered, the absence of political insight? They are the difference between what we are and what we could be as a society,” (Gallagher, 1975).

"Life is a work of art. The canvas you paint first is your life. Then, your life becomes the brush from which you paint that part of the world you touch while you are here on this planet. You are an artist. What work of art will you leave behind?" -Eldredge

Good advice to both genders. Ladies, this guy nails it. Be thankful you have a man who works and you don’t need to support, but don’t let him teach your children that’s all he needs to do to lead his family well. Investing into a person is much greater than doing chores.

As a parent, it’s mine and Aaron’s assignment to help our children discover their God-given gifts/talents so they can fulfill their unique God-ordained callings. It’s not our place to tell our children what to major in, where to live, or what occupation to pursue even though we’re business owners. Every child is uniquely gifted to thrive in his/her calling. Children should never feel forced to replicate their parents.

Steven Furtick once stated that your ministry should never outgrow your character. If it does, you're open to all types of temptation, especially pride, and arrogance. That one hit home with me because Kris Valloton speaks of the same concept in his book, Spiritual Intelligence. With all, that's going on in the world these days, what quotes/scriptures/insights are really standing out to you?

Too many gifted, talented, and creative people live as mosaics of everyone else's thoughts and expectations. You were created by God for a purpose. You will fulfill your calling once you embrace whom God created you to be. That's who you are, my friend. You are chosen. You are loved. You are favored. You were created a Masterpiece by The Artist Himself. Don't hide your talent. Embrace your gifts and flourish. Your life matters. Your legacy matters. You matter. Society needs you. We all need you.
