There is such beauty In His grace. That even though I’m a bucket of issues, and I’m less than perfect, and seem to mess up at very turn- He still favors me. He shows His unrelenting love upon me, and not by my merit. But through Jesus and Jesus alone. As you will soon come to see, I’m anything but worthy of this sort of grace. But, then again you aren’t either. None of us are. We all have a past we aren’t proud of, decisions we wish we could redo, relationships we wish we never would’ve entered into, addictions we form and try to break, lies we’ve told, people we’ve hurt, choices we’ve made- and each of these would be large reason for God to turn away from us. But, no! He pursues us even in the midst of all that mess. In the heap of my heartache is where I found God. At the pinnacle of my brokenness He showed me The beauty in grace.

This is my story. My blog. My heart. This is my vulnerability and my heartache and my struggles. This is raw. It’s painful, but it’s real. It’s truth. And it’s anything but pretty. Pray for me as I begin this next step in my faith. I believe God is asking me to share my story. I pray I could do it in such a way that it gives Him ALL THE HONOR and ALL THE PRAISE. Through He and He alone I was found. I was lost, But He truly found me in the depths of darkness. He illuminated a new path for me with His love- A love I was craving for- One I searched my entire life to find.

I pray that through my story, you see His beauty as well–THE BEAUTY IN GRACE
