Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a good Easter.</p>
<p>Unlike past Easters, I was actually able to wear the outfit that I had planned to wear. I purchased this lilac circle skirt a while back at Nordstrom because I loved the way it fit. I was also intrigued by the color because I had never purchased a skirt in lilac, aka as violet, lavender, mauve, or light purple. Unfortunately, it just didn&#8217;t seem to pair well with any of the tops that I had in mind. I tried neutrals like black and white and I also tried to stay within the same hue but it just didn&#8217;t seem to work, so I just tucked it away in my closet for another day. Then I spotted the color lilac featured in different magazines and blogs and it was being paired with all sorts of different colors. <span id="more-6487"></span>I decided to give it another try starting with a top in my favorite cobalt blue. Blue always seems to work out for me. No wonder it&#8217;s my favorite color.</p>
<p>I know a lot of people celebrate Easter with a big dinner with family and/or friends, a fun egg hunt for the kids and some even give out gifts. We keep it pretty simple in our family. We put on our Sunday best, go to church and fellowship with our church family. For me personally, I sometimes feel like all the festivities and the preparation that comes with it, albeit fun, can distract me from what Easter is truly all about, celebrating the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. <strong>How do you celebrate Easter? Do you keep it low-key or go all out?</strong></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><em><span id="en-NIV-23488" class="text Matt-11-28"><span class="woj">“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.</span></span> <span id="en-NIV-23489" class="text Matt-11-29"><span class="woj">Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.</span></span> </em><span id="en-NIV-23490" class="text Matt-11-30"><span class="woj"><em>For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”</em> ~ Matthew 11:28-30</span></span></span></p>
<p>I’ve always found these words from Jesus very comforting. He invites all of us who are weary and burdened to come to Him and find rest because His yoke is easy and His burden is light. But I can’t help but wonder what these words really mean, especially the last verse of this passage. I was always told that being a Christian is not always easy. As Christians, we are called to pick up our cross and follow Christ and by doing so we are not necessarily choosing the easiest path. And yet Jesus says that His yoke is <em>easy</em> and His burden is <em>light</em>. <span id="more-6456"></span>In the context of this passage, Jesus is comparing a new life under grace thru Him as opposed to a life under the law, which characterized the legalistic ways of the Pharisees at the time.</p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">When we dwell in Christ, we feel at home </span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">and find peace and rest for our minds and souls.</span></strong></p>
<hr />
<p>As a child of God living under His grace today, there are a few things that God has impressed upon my heart about this passage. Living in Christ under His grace and mercy is like being home where I belong. I certainly can’t speak for everyone, but I, for one, feel the most comfortable, at ease and free to be myself at home. No matter how big or small, clean or messy, humble or luxurious, quiet or chaotic your home might be, there is nothing like the comforts of home. The phrase “Home Sweet Home” was coined for a reason. In the same way that home can be a physical place, it can also be an emotional haven where you find people, whether family or friends, who love you unconditionally, where you feel like you belong and you just know you&#8217;re where you&#8217;re meant to be. When we dwell in Christ, we feel at home and find peace and rest for our minds and souls.</p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>All of the burden that we could possibly bear in this world </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>has already been nailed to the cross with Christ.</strong></span></p>
<hr />
<p>Jesus calls us to take His yoke and learn from Him with the promise that His yoke is easy and His burden light. All of the burden that we could possibly bear in this world has already been nailed to the cross with Christ. The heaviest burden we can possibly bear is the burden of sin. The wages of sin is death. What a relief to know that the penalty has already been paid! We are no longer held down by the heavy burden of sin, but instead, we are lifted by the freedom of God’s grace. And even though we will be tempted daily as we live our life of grace, God gives us this assurance in 1 Corinthians 10:13, &#8220;And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.” I was reminded at a <a title="BSF International" href="https://www.bsfinternational.org" target="_blank">BSF</a> lecture that God has infinite strength to provide for us and we know that because it says in 2 Corinthians 12:9, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”</p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>In Christ, we are not only given rest for our souls, </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>but also assured of an eternal home in heaven.</strong></span></p>
<hr />
<p>The truth of the matter is that the wages of sin is death. By abiding in Christ, who was sacrificed for our sins, we are saved by grace and avoid the harsh reality of eternal separation from God. In light of this truth, I think that following Christ seems like an almost too easy path to eternal salvation. That is the beauty of God’s grace and mercy. God&#8217;s undying love for us has made this unfathomable sacrifice a reality that we can live by eternally. It says in Romans 6:23, &#8220;For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.&#8221; In Christ, we are not only given rest for our souls, but also assured of an eternal home in heaven.</p>
<p>Have a blessed Easter!</p>

<p>Last year, instead of giving up something for Lent, I decided to commit to doing the daily Lent devotionals offered by <a title="She Reads Truth" href="http://shereadstruth.com" target="_blank">She Reads Truth</a> and sharing what I had learned from them on the blog as a way to strengthen my walk with God as I explained <a title="High on the Word: Psalm 38" href="http://myrosecoloredshades.com/2014/03/14/high-on-the-word-psalm-38/" target="_blank">here</a>. I had every intention to do the same this year as I found it to be very rewarding. But I confess, the desire was there but the discipline was lacking. As Ash Wednesday rolled around, I found myself being distracted by the busyness of life and putting other things first before my time with God. It&#8217;s one thing to simply meditate on the Word, and quite another to be able to articulate what I&#8217;ve learned in a coherent way on the blog. I have to admit that I felt uninspired and it was starting to feel like an obligation.</p>
<p>I felt like I needed a push. I needed the Holy Spirit to move me or just give me a big kick in the butt really. And that kick came in the form of a movie called <a title="The Drop Box" href="http://www.thedropboxfilm.com" target="_blank">The Drop Box</a>. I went to one of the exclusive showings of this documentary two nights ago with my husband and it was certainly an eye-opening experience, if not heart tugging and hopefully, permanently convicting. The Drop Box is a documentary about a South Korean pastor who decided to build a &#8220;baby box&#8221; in the front part of his church building in order to rescue unwanted babies that would otherwise be abandoned in the streets of Seoul with very little chance of surviving. There are obviously many socio-political controversies that have stemmed from this but I&#8217;m not here to talk about those things. I want to talk about the heart of this humble servant and all those involved in this ministry, including the children he rescues.<span id="more-6128"></span></p>

<p><strong>The Pastor</strong></p>
<p>Pastor Lee Jong-Rak of Jusarang (God&#8217;s Love) Community Church in Seoul says that he learned about the dignity and inherent value of human life through the birth and life of his son, Eun Man, who is physically disabled and bedridden due to his condition. He confesses that as soon as Eun Man was born, he asked God why he gave him a son with disabilities. Within a few seconds of this initial thought, he repented and thanked God for his son. Because of his physically challenged son, Pastor Lee was able to develop a heart of compassion for those who are deemed imperfect in the eyes of society. He was able to see them thru God&#8217;s eyes and love them unconditionally. He considers his son, Eun Man, the catalyst that moved him to build the &#8220;baby box&#8221; for the abandoned children of Seoul. He calls his son a &#8220;great teacher,&#8221; who despite his physical challenges, often manages to offer a smile. Pastor Lee has taken in over 380 unwanted babies and continues to do so today. He lives with nine of his adopted children. When asked why he had decided to adopt these babies, he says, &#8220;Because God has adopted me.&#8221; His statement is echoed by the Scripture verse that is painted right above the baby box door, <strong>&#8220;For my father and mother have forsaken me, but the Lord will take me in&#8221; (Psalm 27:10)</strong>.</p>

<p><strong>The Children</strong></p>
<p>Pastor Lee and his wife have adopted nine of the children that he has taken in since the inception of the baby box back in 2009. All of them live with some form of disability from Down&#8217;s Syndrome to many other congenital defects. With the help of volunteers, they raise, care for and love these children. In our human eyes, these &#8220;imperfect&#8221; children appear to have little or nothing to offer the world and seem to lack a purpose in life. Pastor Lee says it&#8217;s quite the contrary. To him, they are perfect and he calls them &#8220;the educators of society&#8221; because they teach us things that can only be learned when deeply felt in the heart such as compassion, gratitude and unconditional love. They remind us that every human life is precious to God, that every one of us has a special purpose for which God created us, and most importantly, we were all, every single one of us, created in the image of God.</p>

<p><strong>The Director</strong></p>
<p>Brian Ivie, the director of The Drop Box traveled to South Korea in 2011 with dreams of creating a Sundance worthy documentary and came back with a heart for God. As he spent days with Pastor Lee and his children, sleeping on the floor like they did and going thru their daily routine, he learned that there are two types of people in this world, &#8220;people who help and people who are helpless.&#8221; He didn&#8217;t know at the time what kind of person he was. It wasn&#8217;t until he heard a sermon back in the States about Jesus becoming sin for us that he was broken and realized that even though &#8220;all he had to offer a perfect God was sin, in turn God gave him everything.&#8221; He realized that he was just like one of those children, that he has his &#8220;disabilities and deformities, but they were all in his heart.&#8221; God gave him a new heart that learned the true meaning of unconditional love as he witnessed the Pastor give everything to these children who might never know and be able to thank him for what he&#8217;s done for them. As humans, it&#8217;s easy to love those that are lovable and can reciprocate that love in one way or another, but only thru God&#8217;s heart can we love &#8220;the unlovable&#8221; without expecting anything back.</p>
<p>This whole experience made me think of Matthew 25 where Jesus talks about the parable of the sheep and the goats. In Matthew 25:40 it says, <strong>&#8220;Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.&#8221;</strong> This is a good reminder that God acknowledges and remembers every good work we do in His Name. The verse that really convicts me though is Matthew 25:45 where it says, <strong>&#8220;Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.&#8221;</strong> This points to the fact that there is sin in inaction. There is such a thing as sin of omission, the failure to do something we know we ought to do. In James 4:17 it says, <strong>&#8220;If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>I humbly ask that you pray for me and we can pray for each other that our hearts will be convicted by the Word of God, by the urgings of the Holy Spirit, and the experiences that God places in our path so that we can open our eyes and be convicted in our hearts to act in faith for His glory. I hope and pray that we can all remember God&#8217;s words in James 1:27, <strong>&#8220;Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.&#8221;</strong></p>

Every year, a couple of weeks before Easter, I start obsessing about getting THE perfect Easter dress. I&#8217;m sure you can all relate but whenever I&#8217;m on a mission to find the one, I almost always fail. My acquisitions of some of my favorite dresses have been chance encounters, more happenstance in nature. I always seem to find the one when I&#8217;m not really looking. So this year, instead of getting caught up in the hunt for the perfect dress and forgetting what Easter is all about in the process, I decided that I would wear one of the dresses from my existing wardrobe and focus on what&#8217;s important. The girls didn&#8217;t get new Easter dresses either. I had them choose from their closet as well.</p>
<p>I was so happy to find this J.Crew dress, that I hadn&#8217;t worn in a while, all nicely dry cleaned and ready to go. The funny coincidence was that all of us ended up choosing a dress in a dark shade of blue, even my husband (not the dress part <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> ). Although I don&#8217;t make it a habit to color coordinate my entire family, I thought it turned out to be the perfect ensemble. Alas, it wasn&#8217;t meant to be. My second daughter ended up getting sick on Saturday and the two of us stayed home on Easter Sunday while my husband and the other girls jaunted off to church in their matching blue outfits. Oh well, I thought I&#8217;d still share with you my Easter dress-to-be that never was.</p>

<p>I have spring on my mind these days. I&#8217;ve been thinking about spring home decor and Easter crafts. I need to add some spring pizzazz to my home and I&#8217;m envisioning pastels, lots of flowers and greens. I&#8217;ve also been looking for fun crafts to do with my girls and Easter egg hunt ideas. These are a few good finds for spring I stumbled upon during my search.</p>
<p>1. <strong>Cherry Blossoms Chalk Art</strong> (<a title="Spring Print Cherry Blossoms Chalk Art" href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/180960463/spring-print-cherry-blossoms-chalk-art?utm_campaign=Share&amp;utm_medium=PageTools&amp;utm_source=Pinterest" target="_blank">Etsy &#8211; LilyandVal</a>) &#8211; I love the message in this informal chalk art print. It would go perfectly in the kitchen.</p>
<p>2.  <strong>Painted Mason Jars</strong> (<a title="Painted Mason Jars" href="http://www.beachblueshomedecor.com" target="_blank">www.beachblueshomedecor.com</a>) &#8211; they come in a variety of colors so you can mix and match and decorate with fresh flowers since only the outside is painted.</p>
<p>3. <strong>Chocolate Pretzel Nests</strong> (<a title="Chocolate Pretzel Nests" href="http://www.ourkidsmom.com/2014/03/welcome-spring-diy-chocolate-pretzel-birds-nest/#8fRBZWE97oToD9l5.32" target="_blank">www.ourkidsmom.com</a>) &#8211; these are the most adorable Easter treats I&#8217;ve seen. It&#8217;s fairly easy (though a bit messy) and doesn&#8217;t require a lot of ingredients. Great recipe to try with your kids. It doesn&#8217;t have to be perfect as long as everyone is having fun.</p>
<p>4. <strong>Glow in the Dark Easter Egg Hunt</strong> (<a title="Glow in the Dark East Egg Hunt" href="http://www.mommysavers.com/c/t/201161/glow-in-the-dark-easter-egg-hunt-fun-for-older-tweens-teens" target="_blank">www.mommysavers.com</a>) &#8211; I&#8217;ve been looking for different ways to do an Easter egg hunt this year and I think this might be the perfect idea. Super easy to prepare and sounds like a lot of fun.</p>
<p>5. <strong>Succulent Heart Living Vertical Planter</strong> (<a title="Succulent Heart Planter" href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/176890716/succulent-heart-living-vertical-planter?utm_campaign=Share&amp;utm_medium=PageTools&amp;utm_source=Pinterest" target="_blank">Etsy &#8211; RootedInSucculents</a>) &#8211; I am obsessed with succulents so when I saw this heart planter, I immediately fell in love. Apparently, succulents are low maintenance, which is great for people like me who weren&#8217;t born with a green thumb.</p>
<p>6.  <strong>Mason Jar Herb Garden</strong> (<a title="Mason Jar Herb Garden" href="http://camillestyles.com/uncategorized/transformed-mason-jar-herb-garden/" target="_blank">www.camillestyles.com</a>) &#8211; great idea for a space saving indoor herb garden. I&#8217;ve been somewhat successful with my indoor herb garden last year so I can&#8217;t wait to try it again this spring.</p>
