Grace

"Grace I call your name, oh won't your smile fall over me, I crouch and drink on hands and knees oh sweet grace rain down on me, I need you grace." Grace Phil Wickham

Ah! July 1st! I love new months! A new month feels so refreshing to me! New things are going to happen, I don't have much of a schedule yet-new, new, new! I always feel like coming into a new month is like wiping my slate clean again, all the mistakes I made in the last month are officially gone, all the stupid things I said last month are "Now Forgotten," it's like I'm a new person again!

But Gods been teaching me that's not exactly true...yes a new month is always exciting, but God gives us grace ALL the time! I mean Gods timing isn't human timing right? He gives us new grace   every day,   every hour,   every minute,   every second,   every millisecond!   He told me once 'Every second is a new second' This was in Costa Rica when I was walking with a lot of fear about what was going to happen and on this same trip He spoke to me about Choosing!  

God gives us a Choice to follow Him, He gives us a choice to accept His Grace and His UNFATHOMABLE LOVE! So it is our responsibility in our Relationship with God to Choose how we walk in life, we can choose to drink 'til we barf, gossip about our friends etc. OR we can choose to walk in the Fruits of The Spirit! Clothe ourselves in Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-control!

It's a choice! What?! The deity that created THE UNIVERSE gives US, mere humans, a CHOICE! What Freedom we can live in if we only CHOOSE!

Whoa...
