| Easter Story II |
| 03.27.05 (9:35 am) [edit] |
|
Ali wrote this as part of an assignment at school on her birthday. I thought that it was a good message for Easter. November 16 How has knowing Jesus helped me go through hard situations? When I saw "The Passion of the Christ," it made me realize how scared Jesus was when he was waiting in the garden to have people take him away and kill him. Ever since I have been diagnosed with cancer, I have been saying a similar prayer for God—as Jesus did in the garden. Just like Jesus, I was praying for God to take all of this away from me and just let me live. But I realized I wasn’t saying something Jesus said. Jesus told God to do his will, because his way is the best way. Now in my prayers I try to start asking God to do his will. Watching the party when Jesus was just sitting there crying made me be like, "Wow, Jesus is so brave and he is going through all of this pain for me." It made me want to be braver and just cry to God when I am scared just like Jesus did. God had a plan for Jesus that gave us salvation. And I just have to think he has a plan for me also. |

Isn't it something? Ali has no idea how many hearts she's actually touched. She has no clue how great God's plan is. My eyes are tearing just thinking about it. What a brave person. Thanks for sharing, Lori.
Happy Resurrection day

It is the hardest part. I tried to do it but couldn't... like I had some control... when I read this for the first time I felt so unworthy to be her mother. Happy Easter.

hi Stacey... I hope that I can be even half as brave as she was when my time comes. I thought that I knew everything about her... but I keep finding new layers--even now. I hope you are having a good Easter.

A brave soul at such a tender age and I find the ultimate example of how I wish to be... through the eyes of a young woman here before me.

You know something...you really need to write a book. I'M SERIOUS! And I'm reall glad that the "Good Man Charlie Brown" trash man took that dishwasher. Hehehe. I'm really starting to understant everything, all the why's. It's starting to make sense, but not without your help. I love you sooooo much and don't ever forget that. I REALLY want to come back and spend some more time with you and Cocco. Well its getting late and its a school night you know. I love so much.
Peace Out & God Bless

yeah, no problem. I send you some sort of intelligent rant sometime soon, either in the form of an email or a letter. Probably the former. Have a great day, b/c being down on life is something I don't like doing, and I'm guessing either do you. Oh, incredible writing, I wish I wrote that good.
Peace, love, and Rock (lots of Rock)
