A good giggle and a touch of God's grace

Sometimes our days can be so hectic and spun out of control with our stacks of to do lists and what we didn't get to do list but all we need is a good giggle and a touch of God's grace to get us motivated again to live this crazy thing called life.  I'm happily married to my middle school sweetheart and blessed with two kids.

So lets just get right to the God's Grace part.  In 2008, I made the best decision in my life to put Jesus Christ first in my life.  I've always loved Jesus, he was always a major factor of my life.  My parents introduced him to me at a very young age and his presence was always known by others when they walked into my parents home because of their humbleness and love towards others.  I like to describe my past relationship with Christ as an uncle/niece relationship.  I went to him for Christmas, Easter or when I really really needed something.  I didn't ever read the Bible unless I wanted to try and scare myself by reading Revelations.  My favorite song growing up was Amazing Grace but I really didn't understand the words.  Not until that last night of October of 2008 when I was not so graceful and stumbled to one of my lowest points and asked Jesus to save me.  Show me a way out.  I found a church down the street and showed up there two days later.  The second song played was "Amazing Grace (my chains are gone)" which I never heard that version before.  That was it.  I fell apart, but it was a good fall apart.  I didn't know who was looking at me or how silly I looked crying like that but I was inviting Jesus to take over my life right at that moment.  My life changed forever that day. 

The best part about getting caught up in God's Grace is that I can still be me.  I can laugh and have fun.  I can still crack jokes (of course not at someone!)  So this blog will most likely have few topics.  What God is doing with my life; whether it's my health, my crazy family, my sister's in Christ or what my cat and dog are doing to drive me absolutely crazy.
