Friends, it’s GOOD FRIDAY!
This post today is THE MOST IMPORTANT POST EACH AND EVERY YEAR.
Year after year, as long as I have this platform, I will shout with all of my might that Jesus Christ is the most important thing in my life, and not only does He love me, but HE LOVES YOU TOO.
As much as I love talking about Amazon, and pumpkins and coffee, travels, adoption, Christmas music, clothes, organization, TV shows, books and all of the other fun and happy things I bring here each day, talking about Jesus and that He loves us so much that He died and rose again to save the world from its sin will forever be my favorite topic.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about or don’t have a personal relationship with Jesus or don’t get why I’m always so filled with an unexplainable joy, let me point you to the cross. Jesus died on that cross for me and for you and He wants to know you. He doesn’t want to judge your mistakes or your past or your lifestyle, He wants you to know Him and have a relationship with Him.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about or don’t have this peace or joy or if you lay your head on your pillow at night with uncertainty about your future and what happens when you die, I invite you to email me if you want to chat, if you would like me to send you a Bible, a devotional or if you would like to just share your heart. I would love to hear from you if you don’t feel the peace of God but so desperately want to. mixandmatchmama@yahoo.com.
If you want to start reading through the Bible, don’t forget, I love The Bible Recap and would love for you to use that amazing resource. I have more info on that and how you can read with me and other online friends HERE.
If you don’t have a church to visit this weekend, I invite you to watch our church online this Sunday. We would love to have you join!! You can watch HERE.
This world is a scary and dark place at times, and if you are looking for peace and hope, I would love to encourage you to turn to Jesus. My prayer this morning is that one of you out there who feels crazy lost right now, will stop and pray and ask the Lord to reveal Himself to you in a personal and specific way.
I love you all so much! I hope you have a blessed Easter! HE LIVES! You guys, HE LIVES!

Shay, thank you for the Good Friday post. I wanted to share something from one of your previous blogs this week. It was a photo of you and Andrew doing quiet time together on the cruise early in the morning. I just wanted to say that it was such a powerful photo of two individuals who truly put God first. Vacations and being away from home can be when you get out of the routine. The photos of the whole trip were great but that photo for some reason just stayed with me this past week. Hugs and as always thank you for sharing:)
Faith says
Amen and amen! Happy Good Friday and hope you and your family have a happy Easter weekend!

And this is why I come back to your blog every single morning! Started reading by chance in 2015 and have tuned in every single day!
Thank you for telling the world about Jesus. It would be so easy to disregard the topic altogether, but you choose to share.
“And life is worth the living just because He lives!”

Shay-The word that came in my head when I read your post this morning was “BEAUTIFUL”. And I don’t mean physically (because that’s obvious!) but your beautiful heart, spirit, inclusion to all, smile, family, life etc etc
All of your beauty you praise God for. And that’s not only refreshing, in this world we live in now, but it’s a wonderful example you’re setting for all.
Happy Easter!
