ANNIVERSARY
Today's reading: Exodus 13-16

Have I ever told you that I was saved on an Easter Sunday?

Yep, a little country church. A wooden altar. A sermon preached by an interim pastor. A moment in history that grabbed my heart and placed me at the feet of Jesus.

So Easter means a lot more to me than to some. It's a special day in my year. It's a milestone in my life. It's an occasion to celebrate. It's a day in my life when my head, heart, hands and feet were placed in the direction of heaven...and I was set off on a journey.

"This day in early spring will be the anniversary of your exodus." Exodus 13:3 NLT

The 'anniversary of my exodus', what better way to put it? I'm going to remember that, use it often and refer to it frequently.

You see, I've not 'made it' yet. I'm still traveling towards God's reward for having given my heart to Him. I have the promise of a mansion, but today I'm still cleaning this little house on Garrett's Prairie Road. I am destined for a place where there are no tears, no pain, no death, but today I'm walking beside fellow believers who are clinging to the hope while wiping our eyes, enduring the aches and visiting funeral homes.

I've just celebrated another anniversary of my exodus. God is SO good!
