Good Friday post



The prophesy:


Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? He grew up before him like a tender shoot,and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces, he was despised , and we esteemed him not. Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. By oppression and judgement he was taken away. And who can speak of his descendants? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was stricken. He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the Lord's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the Lord's makes his life a guilt offering, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand. After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light of life, and be satisfied; by his knowledge , my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear the iniquities. Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sins of many, and made intercession with the transgressors. Isaiah 53


The prophesy fulfilled:


"Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, "I am thirsty." A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up with spirit.
John 19:28-30

Easter Eggs

my Easter eggs

I believe these are VJ's
VJ whacked one, and it cracked.


Noah dyeing one...he doesn't really like

his picture take, but I got one!



Mimi and Papa came over Saturday morning, to dye Easter eggs with all of us. It ended up that some weren't hard-boiled, so ( like the picture above) when VJ whacked a couple, they cracked open . After Mimi and Papa left, one rolled off the table and spattered on the floor, and another got somehow broken.

Favorites

I thought I'd put a post on my favorite songs. There's A LOT...just to let you know. I will first put the artist in italics, and then the song/songs that they have that I like, in bold. Just so you know, I don't listen to the whole album..just a few song off of 1 or 2.I mostly listen to Christian music...but a couple ( like Taylor Swift, a Rascal Flats song, and Lone Star), aren't really, but still I like 1 or 2 off of 1 of their albums. My friend from church will be the one to introduce me to Lone Star. :) : CHRISTIAN ARTISTS Mikes' Chair- "Keep Changing the Word"; "Can't Take Away" NewsBoys- " We Remember" Addison Road- "Fight Another Day" Me in Motion- " Eye of the Hurricane" FM Static- " Last Train Home" The Afters-" Light Up the Sky" Tenth Avenue North-" You Are More"; Sidewalk Prophets- " You Can have Me" Kutless-"That's what Faith Can Do" Disciple-" Dear X: You Don't Own Me" Brandon Heath-" Your Love"; " Give Me Your Eyes" Sixteen Cities-" Sing Along" Matthew West-" More" Matt Redman-" You Alone Can Rescue" Bethany Dillion-" All I Need" William Reeves- " Here is Love" John Rippon-" How Firm a Foundation".

Other Artists: Taylor Swift-" Love Story ( based on Romeo and Juliet);" Mine";" You Belong with Me"; "Back to December" Rascal Flats- " Life is a Highway ( from Cars) Lone Star-" Mr. Mom" ( very funny...about a dad taking over the mom's job when he loses his job and she goes to work...and how everything is wrong) Here are my favorite movies/TV shows..though I don't watch many: Narnia- The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe; Prince Caspian( I've yet to see Voyage on the Dawn Treader) ICarly..we don't watch it all that much. The A-Team The Brady Bunch...Mom picked it up at the library a couple of weeks ago, and Noah and I are now hooked to it..it's a very funny, old show. As you see, I listen to music much more than I watch TV...I mean..I do watch some..but not all are my favorites...get it. I do watch SpiderMan sometimes, Cars, Madagascar, and Noah and I used to watch Annie Oakley, and The Lone Ranger.

Happy Birthday, Papa!

Younger Boys


I found this picture, and thought it was the cutest thing. VJ was so little, Noah was younger, and Dad was...yes..younger and still had a headful of black hair( not saying he doesn't still...but you get my point).
