| reality check 2so... i find myself still in pieces... still learning to trust God... and amidst feeling like a million foreign pieces one thing resonates ... BUT GOD, saved me and only by grace will i be able to glorify him and walk with him as he is restoring my broken self...
i was talking to my dad yesterday and i was moved by him sharing how broken he feels and yet at the same time his resolve to continue to glorify God with who he is and what he has as God changes him... by grace he says and by that i also want to live... i guess you can say i am learning what it means to live by grace daily... it's freaking hard... this is my peace... BUT GOD...

| reality checkthere's this passage in Ephesians 2 that talks about us being dead in our sins BUT GOD in/with his grace redeemed us and saved us from that... i LOVE that... as i was sitting yesterday at that wedding hearing a brief message about grace i just couldn't help but hear God reminding me of what matters most... an d that is BUT GOD saved me in his grace and is still keeping me in his grace.... if nothing else i have that and it is the greatest portion anyone can have... and even if i don't feel like saying that 24/7 his grace will keep me and will eventually lead me to a point where that is the case...
that is what is SO amazing about grace... it saves you... it changes you... it moves you.... it holds you steady... it sustains you... it is my peace.

| tasty de-litethese days relief isn't so much defined by the absence of something strenuous or stressful or painful (haha come to work with me and you'll see)... the meaning of relief has evolved (in my mind anyway) to have something to do with the company with whom i face reality
God has put His foot down many times in a very short time and i think i am beginning to understand that i'd rather have Him than be left alone.
here's to breathing easy and living "lite".
