Easterrr

So, Easter is coming up. Someone asked me what I would be doing next Sunday and Monday. Well, not much probably. I am sooo happy that my exams are over and now I've got nothing to do, I'm making a problem of that, hehe. It's not really a problem, I love the fact that I can relax a little bit at the moment after a stressfull time at school.

But yeah... celebrating Easter with my parents and sister will not be exactly the way I would like it to be. It'll probably be kinda superficial; painting eggs, doing easter-stuff that has got nothing to do with the real message of Easter: a time to celebrate the life and resurrection of Jesus Christ! Painting eggs can be fun too, right... :S? It's not that I want to have a prayer session the whole day or something, but just that they would realize what Easter really really means, that my parents would feeeel the love Jesus has for them and the sacrifice He made.

I have got the Uturn-dvd!!! (for the ones who have no clue what it's about: Uturn-Europe Summercamp is a yearly camp for christian youth all over Europe to learn about God and themselves, but also to have a lot of fun together!) It was so great to see the people I met there again and it was also very encouraging. A verse that was said on that dvd really touched me, it was from Jeremia 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord, "they're plans for good, not for harm, they're plans to give you a future and a hope!"

And that's as true as it can be. God is in control of everything and He wants us to enjoy life as He created it and to live the life He planned for us. "don't forget that evy!!" I won't...

Bedtime now, I would loooove to chat more, but I have to get up early, so I'd better go sleeping now. Goodnight everybody :-)
