We have just finished a series of bible studies with Angela Thomas entitled "Living your life as a Beautiful Offering". This series of lessons makes you want to dance the dance of your life in the arms of Jesus! She shows us that God thinks we are beautiful and wants to tell us so! Jesus teaches kingdom living for everyday life. Who do we belong to? We belong to the kingdom of heaven! Once we realize that, we need to walk in that truth. We need to live like we belong to the kingdom.

The glorious time of Easter is approaching along with tulips and crocus and daffodils. For me, this is the most wonderful time of the year and the most important holiday, as Christians, we can celebrate. If Jesus had died and that was the end of it, then no big deal. But, he died and than rose from the dead and that is a big deal! We serve a living savior!

So, how do we live as kingdom women? A cheerful, joy-filled heart keeps us healthy and is a blessing to others. Persistence in prayer, a thankful heart and gratitude despite our circumstances, redirects our focus to the power of God and His limitless love and faithfulness towards us.

I Thessalonians 5:16 & 17 "Be joyful always, pray at all times, be thankful in all circumstances. This is what God wants from you in your life union with Christ Jesus." This passage is God’s prescription for kingdom living, a life-style that is pleasing to Him, fulfilling for us and inspiring to others.

We only get one life to build for His kingdom. May this Easter and the month of April be a turning point in your life, as you reflect the kingdom of heaven to all those around you.

Happy Easter!
