Grace

I have been hearing a lot and reading a lot about God's grace.  To me, it is by far the most amazing part of knowing Christ as my personal Savior.  There is a song that says, "His grace is enough. He covers me in His love. His grace is enough for me".  It is the most amazing, undeserving comfort that we have.  He's the God of 2nd chances.  Gods grace runs deeper than my greatest mistake.  That is unimaginable!  Isaiah 43:25
Aren't you glad that God isn't fair?  It's not about arguing and debating. It's about my Jesus.  To know that you have never met anyone Jesus didn't die for!

Recycling

This is another thing that has come from my cancer diagnosis.  I recycle more?!?!?!?  How does that happen?  I just care more???

How lucky am I!!!

I am slowly finding the blessings in this journey.  I was trying to think about the good that comes out of horrible situations, even ones that are much worse than mine.  I think that during our trying times, our blessings are often highlighted.  Does that make sense?  When things are going well and we are cruising along in life with little to upset us, we can get really lazy in our awareness of what God is trying to teach us.  When things are good, we might be less likely to notice what God is doing in our lives.  It is when we are going through trials that we make the effort to seek out the positive and become much more aware and more grateful for what God has done.
