What’s the deal with Easter, is it even real?

I wonder how many people actually understand the meaning of Easter? Not just people, but people that say they’re followers of Christ. 

If you’re celebrating something I would think you need to know the history behind it, right? I might be to naive to believe people care about history these days, but as a firm believer in Jesus Christ history is very important to me. 

Yes, history! Jesus Christ was actually alive and did die, and rose from the dead. Some might say that its only recorded in the Bible and how can a person rely on one source? 

Well to begin the Bible is 66 different books, so technically it’s not one source. But the events of Jesus’ life, crucifixion, and then Him walking amongst the people after His death was recorded not only in the first 4 books of the New Testament but it was also mentioned in ancient Roman and Jewish history. There were also many folk tales that were orally passed down that mention Jesus of Nazareth... there is so much evidence for Jesus’ existence that it is widely accepted among the most educated historians. Don’t take my word for it, research it! 

So Jesus existed, that’s a true cold fact! 

What many people have trouble with is believing that someone that existed and was just like one of us, a human, rose from the dead and is also our Savior. 

Yes, Jesus was a human, but He was also God. Many people have witnessed Jesus walking and talking with them after his crucifixion. There were witnesses to this and although not as popular there is historical evidence for that as well.(research it!)

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”
John 3:16,17 KJV

It takes faith to believe this and I wanted to just share the importance of knowing what you believe in and be firm in your beliefs. 


Share the good news of the Gospel but also be prepared to give answers to people who are curious and are ready to listen. Although there will always be those people who are only in the conversation for the sake of the argument and amusement.

Garden a Little God is so magnificent  and almighty! I’m always in awe of His glory! I grew up in a family that was very close to self-sufficiency. We grew what we ate and in that I was taught of clean and delicious eating, while maintaining the health and joy in life! I love plants and especially plants that bear fruit or harvest that is able to be consumed by me and  give me health and strength. God created it that way and I love it! In watching plants grow you see so much of His character in the whole growing process. Start small Garden a little is the name of my dream garden. I’m sharing this because gardening can be so easy and yet so helpful and therapeutic, and able to connect us closer to our Creator.

My God is bigger than any problem I face!

Lately I've been so overwhelmed with the school and my work. I hardly had time to sit down to study the Word of God... I felt to busy all the time and troubled with my thoughts about my plans, my classes, my future. I now understand that I saw my problems and in my mind they stood higher and bigger than the LORD, and it drove me into a deep pit out of which no one was able to get me out. When I finally realized where I ended up I reached out to people: my family and friend s. I then went back and started studying the Bible, thus I reached out to my LORD and soon after, God gave His hand to me and got me out of that pit. That deep hole was constant anxiety and a constant feeling of being overwhelmed. I realized that my God is bigger than any of my problems that I face and make up along the way. He is in control of all things and if I trust in Him, He will do everything according to His will and to my benefit. My God is bigger than any challenge I face.
