hymn for the resurrection

Christ the LORD is risen today, Alleluia!

Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia!

Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!

Sing, ye heavens, and earth, reply: Alleluia!
~~the first verse from the song ''Christ The Lord Is Risen Today'' by Charles Wesley


''HE is not here; He has risen, just as He said.'' Matthew 28:6

May The LORD bless you with a Happy Resurrection Day!

Joyfully in Him,
Emily

a big move...

I can hardly believe it. Dad and Mom just told me today some big news...we are moving. To Wyoming. My Dad just got a job there. In one month, we will be gone. It happened so fast! I'm excited! I'm also sad and a little scared. Of course, my parents know what is best and I trust them.
The only thing I have to say is...



April Fools!!!!
Ha ha ha! Did I get ya? Sorry, I just couldn't resist such a ripe opportunity as this!
We are NOT moving...sorry to disappoint you. [ =
Happy first of April!

Love in Christ,
Emily

P.S I will be 15 in less than a month...the 28th. That is something to be scared about. [ =

home

We are home from the retreat! What a wonderful, blessed by God weekend!
I hope to post in all the juicy details in the next few days, LORD willing.

Sorry, this was a short note, but I just had to touch base with y'all
( a weekend in Georgia has me trailing off in a southern accent and filling my sentences with a healthy dose of y'all. [ = ).

Love in Christ,
Emily

Georgia Father Daughter Retreat

I just wanted to tell all of you that my dad is taking my sister Hannah and me to the Vision Forum Father Daughter Retreat in Georgia this upcoming weekend. We are sooooooooo excited! I have never been to Georgia, neither has Hannah or dad. Hannah and I never thought we would be able to afford to go to one of these retreats, and yet now we are going! I am really looking forward to spending time with my Daddy.
Are any of you who read my blog going to be there? It would be great to meet you dear sisters-in-Christ.
Hope to see you there!

Love,
Emily

Happy 17th (gasp!) Birthday to my sister Hannah! You are the 'bestest' big sis I could hope for! I love you so so so so much!!!!!!
