Good Friday...Happy Easter!

If I can't be around my family for Easter, at least I can spend some time with some of my good friends here. On Sunday the boy and I are going to church together and then I have a brunch with some girlfriends. I will miss my family though. My first Easter away from home. Makes me look at the celebration more broadly, understanding that it is the body of Christ that we celebrate, not the traditions that have been carried on since my youth.

Sometimes with Easter I tend to overlook Good Friday. I plan to go to church tonight and then just chill by myself. The Creator and I have been in a period of silence for the past couple of weeks. So much have I to surrender for all that HE surrendered for me.
