When All Of A Sudden...

                                     "If His grace is an ocean, then we're all sinking."


I find myself thinking on God's grace a lot recently. I'm overwhelmed. I'm so undeserving, and yet His grace meets me when I wake up in the morning, carries me through the day and sings me to sleep at night. Without His grace, I don't think I could make it. No, I know I couldn't make it. I'm so human, so broken, so depraved. But His grace is enough and I am definitely drowning in it. I constantly breathe it in. It surrounds my world and fills my very being. Wow... Just thinking those things makes me smile and just raise my hands in praise! My God is so good!


Life has been changing faster than I can keep up. They're good changes. I'm busy with school and teaching. I have some of the best students ever! They keep a constant smile on my face. From the little boys who think every song has to be just like the "William Tell Overture", to the little girl who plays so delicately you can barely hear her, to the guy who blows me away with his heart spilling from his fingertips to the girl who praises Jesus with a song that gives a glimpse of heaven on earth. God is good. All the time.

                              "He is jealous for me. Love like a hurricane, I am a tree 
                                 bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy."


Lastly, BIG exciting news. Well, for me anyway. :) Passion 2012!!! YES, it's just a few short weeks away! I can't wait to see what God is going to do. It's going to be a fantastic way to start the new year. Greater things!

The Calm

So life has finally calmed down and things aren't as emotional and bleak. God is so good like that! He sends along the calm in the storms of life just when I need it.

One of the things that I am most thankful for when it comes to my Heavenly Father is that He knows exactly how much I can handle and He will never give me more than I am able to bear. He tests my faith and endurance with love. I know at the end of the testing it will all be worth it.
