My hope is found

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

I've been a bit sad this week.  Not because of anything in particular, but I have this stupid little habit called WORRYING.  And I worry about lots of stuff.  Health for me and my family, the entire stupid messed up crazy world, my friend and relationships, and the biggie this week?  Where I'm going to college and what the everlasting heck I plan to do once I get there. 

I've been a worrier my entire life.  It's something I'd like to control but I can't.  Not on my own, anyway.  And that's where Jesus comes in. 

I finished a Bible study last night, and the last lesson was on Jesus' example.  The one thing I really drew from it was that Jesus is always one step ahead of us.  He sets us an example and from that, we can follow in his footsteps.  He always traverses the way, like a rugged traveler, helping us through difficult places in the trail we walk.  He'll be there forever in front of me, and all I have to do is keep walking. 

It's good to know that someone else has it all under control, since I definitely, one hundred percent never do.  I'm little and dumb and I make stupid mistakes and speak before I think and screw up so much.  But he's always there to guide me onto the right path.  It's what he's been doing since before I was born.  And it's what he'll continue to do for the rest of my life. 

Thank you, Jesus, for everything.  That's really all I can say. 

Happy Easter, everybody.
