Grace Happened

























GRACE:

~undeserved, yet given
~beautiful, yet misunderstood
~forever, yet forsaken
~free, yet longed for

It doesn't make sense, yet "Grace" happened. So, let's stop stumbling over what we don't understand and embrace the fullness of Christ and all He has to offer.

~His forgiveness
~His grace
~His love
~His acceptance

It's already there....available and free to all who accepts. Jesus has already given/sacrificed "all!" That happened on the Cross.

The Cross is the only place in this life where we always win.

We win:

~grace
~forgiveness
~love
~acceptance

The Cross frees us to be the people God created us to be. Lord, help us to find this person within ourselves.

“This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again." John 3:16-17 The Message

By HIS mercy and in the grip of HIS grace,

Tragedy




















The shock of tragedy intensifies grief. One moment life is normal and the next moment normal is gone. We spend the rest of our lives searching for a new normal. God graciously supplies the strength through His presence to step back into the race He's called us to run. However, we must choose to embrace and trust Him. We do not choose tragedy, but we choose how we handle it.

" The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. This is my God, and I will praise him— my father’s God, and I will exalt him!" Exodus 15:1-3

Questioning GOD


 Today, I am sharing about a season of life where I "Questioned GOD!" Actually, I share about several seasons and how important it is to journey on with our Savior, Jesus. Please join me over at "Women Walking With Jesus." I pray each of you will be encouraged.

By HIS mercy and in the grip of HIS grace,
