So I know it has been a good little bit since I blogged, but one of my very good friends, reminded me of something that I have known for a long time, but somehow managed to forget. First, I must explain the story so you will understand my conclusion.
I have spent most of my Easter Break with Kayla Marie, and we have been hanging out, improving our Proverbs 31 skills and watching movies. It has been much needed time for us. Anyways, to fast forward the story, I am a "people- pleaser". I am so much a "people- pleaser" that I was worrying about what I should wear to church tomorrow for Easter Sunday. Through debating back and forth if the outfit I have chosen is dressy enough for Easter, she says to me "People are not going to the Sunrise Service just to see what you wear." I was touching up my toe nails by this time because my outfit includes open toe sandals, and I was taken aback by this. I knew this but somehow I managed to forget.
People at the church in which I serve do not care about how the servant looks, just that they are serving. Why did I put so much thought into what I am going to wear? Finding Freedom in what to wear to church on a "Special Sunday" is very important because if I can't, it will effect my worship and that is the last thing I want to do on the day I get to celebrate Christ's resurrection.
Short blog tonight friends, I have to drive a lot tomorrow so bed time needs to come early, but I hope you all have a wonderful Easter filled with remembering why we celebrate. Not what you wear or the candy you have packed your eggs with or if your lilies are dying.
