Resurrection and Life

"You don't have to wait for the End. I am, right now, Resurrection and Life." John 11:25

"When our hearts have been shattered by loss, we have an opportunity to welcome a supernatural power to our lives--that power is the power to live again on this earth when we'd really rather die. It is a power that displays the life of Christ in us like no other because it defies all odds. God becomes our only explanation for our emotional survival and revival. Perhaps the most profound miracle of all is living through something we thought would kill us. And not just living, but living abundantly and effectively--raised from a living death to a new life."
--Beth Moore

i killed a roach in my sleep.

that's just how much i hate bugs.
i felt him crawling on me in my sleep and flung him across the room. the best part is that charlie didn't believe me. possibly because of this certain incident of me waking up in the middle of the night screaming that there was a (monster) spider on charlie's chest. now, we really didn't question how i saw the spider until after we had turned the light on and tore our bed apart looking for it. yeah. i was sleeping.
but back to the roach. i felt him and his crunchiness and flicked him. a minute later i felt him on my arm and flung him across the room. when i told charlie in the morning he laughed at me. yes laughed. until he saw the dead roach in pernky's bed. HA!! truth is my vindicator.
