Today was a bumpy ride!

Wow! That was one bumpy ride! Sometimes we just have to trust that Daddy G-D knows what He's doing. The stretch of road that we were on today had a lot of pot holes and curves. Also, driving in the dark makes it harder to see where we are going, but Daddy G-D knew what was up ahead and He was totally capable of getting us to our destination safely.

 

 

All we had to do was trust in His grace and His love for us. We didn't even have to try to figure things out either, because He was the One driving the car. Oh to grow in confidence to trust Him so that we can lay our heads back and sleep for awhile...to rest in His grace and love.
Did you have trouble trusting in Daddy G-D? No? You seemed a lot more relaxed than I felt! Thankfully we didn't have to go through this alone. We had each other so that when my confidence wavered, you were there to strengthen me, and next time, if you get scared, I can help you. Eventually we'll get to our destination, but until then, there's grace to keep us on the journey!

 

How does this grace work? It doesn’t ‘work.’ Grace is totally dependant upon G-d’s love and mercy towards us. We do not deserve it. We can not earn it. That is why it is called grace. As we get to know more about our Heavenly Father by spending time with Him, we begin to know that His character is love and faithfulness. It is that simple. We stop depending on ourselves to fix problems that we do not have the ability to fix in the first place. They are totally out of our control. We depend on G-d’s love for us. He tells us in His Word that His plans for us are wholeness and not destruction. We trust in His Word. This trust grows just like in any relationship as we spend time with Him and get to know Him. Invite Daddy G-d to join you on your journey through life. Get to know Him in order that you may trust Him. His grace is already there for you.

Well, that was a much needed stop. Feel better? Yeh, me too, but you know, I’m getting hungry. Do you want to find a place for lunch? How about Chick-fil-A drive thru?…

Thanks Daddy G-D for lunch! We’ll eat when we get to our 1^st stop. Hey, look. There’s another vagrant on the corner. Don’t they know that panhandling is now illegal? “My grace is sufficient for them too,” replies Daddy G-D. Hmm, and it’s a young woman. I wonder what happened to her that she’s now out on the streets. Don’t stare! ~Awkward~

Uh, now I’m just going to think about her while eating my lunch. How about you? Yeh, it won’t taste so good now. Should we give her our lunch? Her sign says she’s hungry. Let’s do it! Call her over and roll down the window.

“Thank you ma’am and G-D bless you,” she says as she lays a hand on her stomach at the sight of food. As we drive away, gratitude washes over me as I realize that Daddy G-D’s grace really is sufficient for all of us. I am thankful that I’ve never gone hungry because I simply didn’t have food. He provides us our daily food.

This really did happen to me today as I was rushing from one appointment to another. It’s true that I didn’t get my lunch today, but the joy in knowing that I played a part in G-D’s grace today for that young woman met my appetite. On today’s journey, grace manifested as love in action.

My First Blog!

Hi, and welcome to my first blog!

Grace is my passion, my middle name, and where I dwell with G-D. I want to take you along on my journey of grace...the beauty of it, the long stretches of seemingly endless road, the pot holes, the road constructions, and the detours. Don't worry, we will get to our destination, and it's going to be the best trip of our lives!

 

So what is grace? It is beauty. It is style. It is poise. It is also mercy in the midst of pain and ugliness. Grace is our Creator’s endowment upon us to walk humbly and to walk with strength.

 

Our journey of grace is long and takes determination to get to our destination, but don’t worry. Daddy G-D will be with us along the way. In fact, He’s the One driving the car. He checked to see if we’ve fastened our seat belts, He filled the tank with gas, and He doesn’t even need a map because He’s been there before. He’s a good Daddy who welcomes our friends to join us on the journey, because He knows we’ll have a great time once we get there.

 

I see a rest stop up ahead…Dad can we pull over? We'll continue on the journey in a moment...
