Your Grace is Enough

For all who are asking, here is the most recent picture of my two kids, Jade and Chance, with their cousin Colten(my brother Caleb's son).

We spend the better part of last week at my parents' house in San Antonio. It was nice to have a break from regular life and a little extra help. Brad joined us on the weekend so he and Jade could enjoy Sea World, which they did!

On a different note, Chance is still crying more often than not, and I think in a weird way we are starting to get used to it. However, it is hard for the independent, self-sufficient, "Sure I can do that" person that I am to be doing only the bare minimum. Right now I'm not not organizing any playgroups, planning any major outreach events, or even leading a summer Bible study. I realize Satan uses this fact to tell me various lies like, "You're not much use to God because you're not "doing" very much." But God gave me a gift through song last Sunday morning to prove him (Satan) wrong.

I was praying during our worship time that God would give me more time to spend with Him and show me what He desires for my life right now. Just about then we started to sing Chris Tomlin's song Your Grace Is Enough. Through the words of that song, God reminded me that His Grace is more than enough for me. It covers the days that I fail to open my Bible, it covers the days I question my purpose, it covers the list of things I think I should be doing for Him.

He gently said yet again, it's not about my actions, it's about my heart. He longs for me to love Him first, before I labor for Him. Praise God, because even a mother of two, one being a screaming baby, can do that.
