Happy Easter everyone!!
Hope that your Easter has been good and that your chocolate intake has been positively delicious.
What a dilemma for us here in the wilds of Norfolk though. Never has there been such a quandary on Easter morning. What to do first....eat chocolate or play in the snow???? Everywhere looked so beautiful on Easter day morning, covered in a layer of snow that made it look much more like Christmas.
The children have done fantastically well over Holy week and Easter. It is not easy being the Vicar's kids and having to spend so much of your life in church, especially when, more often than not, you are the only kids there. But they made it to everything, took part in a lot of things and I am really proud of them for that.
I think that Easter is my favourite time of year. It always feels like we are doing what we're supposed to be doing, reflecting, remembering and allowing history, what happened 2000 years ago, to transform today, the present, because what happened on the cross then still changes lives today.
It means that there is hope when so often so many of us feel hope-less. It means there is strength for today because of the obedience of Jesus giving up his all for us 2000 years ago.
It means there is joy for us in knowing we belong to God because of the pain God felt at the sin and broken down relationships and the ultimate step He took to rectify and redeem all that.
It means new beginnings because God has made the way open for forgiveness and new life.
Yes, it is definitely my favourite time of year....all that and chocolate too!!
Much love,
Rachel.
Welcome
Hi! Welcome to my blog. I am brand new to this so hope you will encourage me in my new pursuit of blogging by posting a comment to help me keep going. I think this is all going to be a bit of a journey so hope you might find something that will interest you. I have long had dreams of having something in print and this seems like the best way to go about it...and it's free!!
The only writing I have ever really done is a shopping list every now and again and I always manage to lose that on route to the supermarket so it's never done me much good.
So, here's to blogging and here's to maybe making a few new friends through it.

About Me
- Rachel
- Having reached a certain age (you know, the one where life is supposed to begin) I decided that I need a new challenge and interest so thought I might have a go at blogging. This could prove interesting as I am neither organised nor a great one for writing! My faith in Jesus is the most important thing in my life and the bedrock for all I do tho I often get it all wrong. My husband is a vicar in the Church of England and I work alongside him in a Church in Norfolk, England. We moved here in April 07 and we are on a steep learning curve!! I am a hopeless administrator,have only recently learned how to send emails and loathe ironing.My short term memory is dreadful. My 4 children keep my feet firmly on the ground(they are 14, 11 and 2@8)so life in our house is pretty noisy. I like good coffee especially with friends, a good book and, much the same as most women, could not live without chocolate! I make a very good chocolate dessert, am too heavy handed to make pastry, can play the guitar but not football. Don't like cheese but love crisps.Did I mention that my short term memory is dreadful?
