Day 2095 – Adult Easter Egg Hunts Are Awesome!

Posted on April 6, 2015 by 365 days of marriage

On Saturday we attended an annual Easter party with our friends (and previous clients). One of the things they do is have an egg hunt for everyone! Each of us brings a basket full of goodies and sometimes gift cards! This year we scored pretty well! We won a few gift cards, a diamond candle and some lovely flowers!

Day 1359 – How I Spent My Easter Morning

“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.” Romans 8:1-4

Every year, we try to go to the sunrise service at Beachmont Christian Camp. It is truly one of my favorite times of the year. Every year it’s the same routine…

Alarm goes off at 4:30/5 and I think…ahhhh, how many people actually know I’m going and will they truly miss me? I hit the snooze and repeat. I do finally get up and throw on some clothes and down some coffee.
Once I get on the road, there is a magical time driving when most others are asleep.
Arriving at the camp and walking down to the service site, I think, ooo, it’s warmer this year!
The trumpet plays as actors carry the cross to the top of the hill (one of which was my brother!) I always get teary eyed and goosebumped at this point.
I snuggle up and listen to the songs and the message.
Sometime around the middle, I realize one part of my body is not covered as much it could be….then I’m freezing in that one spot.
The service ends, I grab a doughnut and coffee and catch up with friends.
I love this time. At this point, I am SO thankful I dragged my lazy butt out of bed. 🙂

He Has Risen!!

Day 1002 – Sunrise Service at Beachmont Christian Camp in Kingsville, MD

Posted on April 8, 2012 by 365 days of marriage

Every year, I try to make it out to the sunrise service at Beachmont Christian Camp. It’s a really awesome camp in Kingsville that offers many things, a day camp in the summer, teen nights in the summer, bible study for teens in the winter/spring, and a myriad of other awesome things. I have been involved with the camp since I was about 5 years old.

I do have a love/hate relationship with the sunrise service though….I hate that it’s cold, it’s early and I’m tired the rest of the day. But I LOVE seeing the sun rise behind the three crosses on the hill, I love seeing so many come out to hear about my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and I love seeing old friends I rarely see. I love it even more when I can look back on pictures. If you’re looking for a sunrise service next year, I highly recommend this one.

Here’s a few of the shots I took.
