My blog is about Gods grace and about finding treasures in the darkness. It's about growing in my faith when it's hard and the darkness wants to consume me. We found out that our grandbabies Jayden and Brooklyn were diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder called Sanfilippo Syndrome and will possibly only live a short life. It's about our hope in God, finding him faithful and being amazed by grace.

Clumsiness!


As I allow my thoughts to ebb and flow....I wonder how God somehow can bring wisdom out of the clumsiness of my life. I often feel like a toddler because I stumble and fall a lot.  As I stumble and trip into the grace of God, I let the grace flow over me like a cool fresh breeze.  God's grace is an amazing gift...when we allow it to seep into our mind and then into our hearts.  I'm thankful today for my clumsiness, as I stumble into the arms of grace.    I find in grace that God is already there.....waiting to hug me and remind me that He's been waiting.  Grace is amazing especially when we think we're so far from it. That's what I love about my journey of brokenness and blessing.   I was in line at Starbucks earlier and I was behind quite a few cars. I kind of wanted to get out of line, but it was too late.  I was locked in and so I figured I would quickly look at my phone and check my emails etc.  So when I finally arrived at the window, I was not at all anxious, I was just happy it was finally my turn.  The young man at the window asked me how I was, I said I was doing great.  He looked at me and said I feel bad you had to wait so long and as he handed me my coffee, he said "this cup is free."  I was greatly surprised by his generosity and I guess because it was so unexpected that I kind of felt tears welling up in my eyes (for just a minute tho)!  My reaction was just "thank you so much....I really don't deserve it."  As I sat there and let that sink in.....I wondered isn't that exactly what God desires for us all the time.   Isn't it wonderful when we recognize what we don't deserve but still joyfully receive it in sometimes unexpected packages.  Sometimes grace is wrapped in a free cup of starbucks coffee.   So I thank you Lord for the clumsiness of my faith as I stumble and fall into the arms of grace!

 2 Timothy 1:9  He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,
