Grateful and Graceful
This week Isaac (my pastor) was talking about lines in our life. Life how you refer to your life in a timeline…before an event and after an event. I have 2 of those lines…one is super personal and hardly known to anyone…the other is this summer…before my meltdown and after.
A lot of things were made clear to me…who my true friends are…what do I really value…where am I going with my life. When people say, “It was the best of times it was the worst of times” I really know what that means. I came face to face with a lot of realities about me and about my life. I became a lot closer to a lot of really awesome people. Yeah there were bad sides and it wasn’t pleasant but it was life defining.
I am so grateful for this summer, for the really dark moments, for my friends who weren’t afraid to love me in my mess. I am grateful than no matter what I do all God ever gives me is grace. It’s a relationship like no other. Things are a lot better now and I really have a clearer vision of who I am and the person God is making me.
This is one of my favorite songs from Summit and reGroup…I connect to this song so much. It’s like my biography in a song. “A second chance is just a start” and yet God doesn’t get angry He knows if I am going to fail 39 times than in 37 times I see his point of view…that’s grace.I like this version because it was recorded down the street from my house
