INSTAGRAM IS MY INSTA-JAM / @ELLIEBE_

I was standing in my neighbor’s backyard, by her dogwood tree, when she picked a flower from it and gave it to me. She was an older woman, her and her husband lived behind us and my siblings and I would always go to her house after school was done to eat cookies, play board games, and explore her garden. (She said we prepared her to be a grandmother. 😉) She explained to me that the dogwood flower was said to represent the cross, it’s four petals dipped in brown, resembling the blood of Jesus. I’ve remembered that conversation vividly ever since. Turning that flower over in my hand, thinking of the death of Jesus. For me. Every Easter, when the dogwoods are blooming, I think about standing in her garden, exploring the gospel displayed in God’s creation. And I think about the disciples, wondering where their friend had gone. Had their faith been in vain? Had His life been for nothing? Little did they know that He thought of them as He hung on the cross. He thought of you, and He thought of me. “It is finished!” He said. And in that moment, even though it didn’t look like it, death had been overcome. Nothing could stop the power of God.
Happy Saturday! 🤩 I WANT TO KNOW! What are your weekend must haves?
Hello 25. ✨ Last night was such a fun night of laughter and community and GOOD CAKE. It doesn’t get much better than that. (Also I get to share a birthday with @jillianzavacky which is the BEST.)
I came home this week to celebrate a story of God’s faithfulness, redemption, and beauty all centered around these two. All you can do is smile when you look at those faces!!! (I LOVE THAT I CAN SHARE THEIR FACES! 🤩) More in my stories!
