The Reason for Easter! A Reflection on Easter Weekend - Life, Travel and Jesus


        Howdy everyone! My family and I have always participated in the Easter holiday. When I was a child, I remember going on Easter egg hunts with my sister and cousins. Even at my university, we have yearly Easter egg hunts. Although the holiday nowadays is associated with egg hunts and a bunny, there is a deeper meaning. The real reason behind Easter is Jesus.

        Jesus is the savior of the world. He is God's son, born of the virgin Mary. Before Jesus was born, prophets like Isaiah had predicted His coming (Isaiah 7:14). We started to see the fulfillment of the prophecies when Gabriel, an angel, came to Mary and told her that she conceived a Son. Gabriel told Mary to name Him Jesus (Luke 1:26-38). Jesus "committed no sin, neither was deceit found in His mouth," (1 Peter 2:22). During His journey on earth, Jesus had 12 disciples who He led closer to God. Over the years, Jesus built relationships with His disciples. During conversations with His disciples, Jesus mentioned He would be the atonement for everyone's sins (Mark 9:30-32). Then, the appointed time came for Jesus to give His life to everyone. John 3:16 says: "For God so loved the world, He gave His one and only Son so that whoever believes can have eternal life." Jesus did not stay in the grave. He rose again after three days (Romans 6:9 and Luke 24:6-7). Jesus giving us life is the reason for easter. God wants you to be with Him and His Son, so He gave His Son for us to be with Him. There is so much joy in knowing and having a relationship with God.

Easy Ways to Stay Organized - Life, Travel, and Jesus

            Do you find it hard to stay organized? Do you want to be better organized? Well, I'm here to help you. I have been organizing for years. Going to college also opened my eyes to more ways to be and stay organized. Over the past few years, I have learned so much about organizing, and I am here to share the information with you. Here are my organization tips and how you can stay organized too. Folders/Binders           Having folders or binders is perfect for helping you stay organized. Wheatear it is for school, work, or tax information, these will help you keep track of what you have. With folders and binders, you can buy a label maker and label everything clearly. You can also do this online online as well (Amazon Lists and Google Drive). In school, I use different folders for each class as needed. I also have one separate folder for paper homework. Agenda/Planner           An agenda is perfect to buy if you want to organize your day-to-day activities. Having an agenda

Lake and Beach Fun! Vacation 2023 - Haley Owens

Image
          Howdy, everyone! I am super excited to share my vacation blog with everyone. Vacation was so much fun for my family and I. We drove to South Carolina and North Carolina to visit the beach and lake with extended family. Overall, I enjoyed my experience on vacation.           Vacation first started out in South Carolina. My immediate and extended family stayed at a lake house with a boat. Most days looked like riding in the boat and going for a swim. One  thing my sister, dad, and I did was take a walk through a forest park in the area.          The next destination my family went to is Wilmington, North Carolina. Here, we went to a beach town. Most of our days looked like renting a boat, swimming, surfing, or riding bikes. During our time there, we found a small café named Sunday's Café. Their chai tea was the best.          Overall, I enjoyed vacation. Going to North and South Carolina and spending time with family was great. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Amazon Necessities - College Edition

          Howdy everyone! Welcome to my blog. Today, I am going to talk about Amazon finds for college students. I will show everyone the low down on college essentials I love on Amazon. If you plan on shopping online, you are in the right place. I am contemplating creating an Amazon influencer account so you can shop there instead of going back and forth to my blog and Amazon looking at college products. I can also do this for my monthly favorites. If you would like me to do this, let me know. Let's get into my favorite Amazon finds.      1. Surge protector. A surge protector is perfect for students with multiple plugs (lamp, phone, laptop, coffee maker, and more). Not only that, but the surge protector will protect your electronics from damage during power outages.      2. Storage ottomans. In case you have a high-rise bed, invest in some storage ottomans. Not only can these be used for storage, but since what you are buying is an ottoman (or ottomans) this is also a great place
