"As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world’s interest in me has also died. It doesn’t matter whether we have been circumcised or not. What counts is whether we have been transformed into a new creation." (Galatians 6:14, 15 NLT)

Last week I was unfortunately so wrapped up in pleasing people and fretting over space used on Sunday I embarrassingly did not really observe Holy Week. To make matters worse, I didn't fully realize this until Sunday afternoon and I was upset, more with myself than anyone else. But, the best thing about being in relationship with Christ is the grace He extends us. Jesus does not operate under our modern calendar and so, I have chosen to just rewind a week and start over. Living through Holy Week more focused I am able to see and be open to the things God wants me to see.

Seeing crucifixion through new eyes. In the passage above it describes dying to my interest in the world and it's interest in me. How freeing it is to live in total contentment with Christ alone. To be able to acknowledge my worldly priorities of the past week and refocus on life complete in Him. He doesn't care where I worship, and if I'm really honest my truest worship rarely happens in the "church facility". All He cares about is that I do worship Him, not one day a week but everyday, offering all that I am, all that I have to Him, for His glory. It's a great week to be crucified with Christ and live out the resurrection story!
