A Very Good Friday: Waiting in Expectation for Resurrection Day

Throughout Lent I’ve been preparing for Resurrection Day by giving up prayer–or at least long prayers. I limited myself to three word prayers over the last seven weeks and have the cobwebs getting cleaned out of my spiritual life in the process.

I’ve found myself more focused, intentional, and silent in prayer. More of aware God’s presence and involvement. More hungry for God’s companionship.

This final week of Easter was spent filming Pursuing God: Stories of Beauty from the Gospel of John in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The days were long, tiring, yet I know they’ll be rewarding when the DVD Bible study releases in September. I can’t wait to hear what you think! The final session of the study examines Mary Magdalene at the garden tomb in the wake of the resurrection–plagued by questions and doubts, surprised yet unaffected by an angelic visitation, refusing to let go of the Savior of the world. The taping of this session gave me opportunity to reflect in real time on the power of the resurrection–an amazing gift to us all.

Resurrection Day is coming and a bubbly expectation fills my heart. May joy of God catch you by surprise this Easter!
