Happy Spring!

I love springtime because this time of year is when new growth occurs. The Easter season is upon us and this is my favorite holiday. This week I have been studying Christ's suffering in Gethsemane. I am grateful for His sacrifice for me. I am glad He suffered for my sins and for my mistakes. I learned an important lesson this past week. I almost made a huge mistake, but my mom caught it. My mom realized I didn't have enough time on my Passport to go to Costa Rica. I thought I was good with three months left on it, but I needed 6 months left on it. I scrambled and had to pay a great deal of money (over $400) to get a new one quickly. I relate this experience to how sometimes we come up short and make mistakes. I had to pay for my mistake by spending heaps of money on a new Passport. This could have been a bigger problem and I might have missed my trip. My mom stepped in and helped me just like Jesus Christ steps in and helps us when we let Him. Jesus Christ makes up the difference when we fall short of our potential. I hope we remember Jesus Christ and His love and sacrifice for us each day. May God, bless you in your daily adventures. I love this picture/quote I found on Facebook.
