Grace

Ok so I am doing pretty well. The same as I have been I guess, have my ups and downs, fails and wins.

This Thursday I was blessed with the opportunity to go to Wayne and stay the night with Kayla. Before me and Kayla met up I got to meet up with Sarah (my mentor) and watch the end of the swim meet. It was so great seeing her. Honestly it is so weird we can talk about nothing serious and just joke around the whole time and I feel so encourages and uplifted when I leave her. I absolutely love that and totally made me a little more excited about going back to Wayne, which I am having a hard time accepting. Then I got to see Laura G. who I haven't talk to in forever so that was great. Then it was off to Kayla's. It was great we just sat around all night and chatted. The usual and it was so good. I need some just sit around time I feel like I fly through every week never taking a breath. Then Friday afternoon Becca and Tia came over and we grilled out. It was really good and we had some legit convo's which are always my favorite. :) But there are 2 convo's that really stick out and one is when Kayla talked about how Christianity is the only faith that has grace, then Becca mentioned how we as Christians receive so much grace, that we could never understand, but yet we are probably the section of the population that offers the least amount of grace. Uhh, I totally agree with this and I hate that. Doesn't that just make you want to do something or at least make you stop and think.
The weirdest thing is just going on in my life and I can not get away from the subject of grace (which I think is great). At Converge we are going through Galatians and the Gospel. Everything and every subject we go through comes back to grace. Grace saved/saves us. And through my life I am just seeing this more and more. I would not be where I am today without this beautiful gift. I honestly think this is what I, along with everyone, needs to work on. We are to strive to be like Jesus and He was full of it. Why is this concept so hard for me to grasp and so hard for me to show. Yes I am not perfect, and I know this, but I could be better and working on showing grace to everyone I encounter is a great way to improve myself. We can reach so many people if we show grace the way Jesus did and God blessed us with. As children of God why wouldn't we do this. I challenge you to consider this. Work on how you show grace to people and I will try to as well.

Praise the Lord.

God made grace.
