1After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. 2There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men. 5The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you." 8So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
My prayers have been everywhere lately. Up, down, sideways. Very sporadic. My heart is everywhere as well. Sigh.

So I read this scripture this morning wondering why He'd chosen this passage to point out today. That was 8am. It's now 9:46pm and I know exactly why He picked that one. I've highlighted the parts that jump off the page with me.
An angel tells those ladies, don't be scared. Everything is fine. Really. Their reaction? They go to tell the boys, and they're afraid. Happy, but afraid.
I can totally relate.
