Grace. What is it? Are we even supposed to know? Are we just supposed to accept it? This is what's been on my mind a lot since I've been home. There is so much to do here, that I just feel overwhelmed so much. But at the same time, I'm trying to live in grace. It's such a hard balance at times.

I recently went to a Jesus Culture conference in Atlanta, GA, and God blew my mind there. Something a speaker said in particular caught my attention and created a disconnect in the way I tend to think. Very simple, 2 Cor 5:21 says, " God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." The speaker began to reason with our jaded views of the Father. He said that if Christ became sin without sinning, why do we think that we could ever become righteous by our righteous acts....It made me think for awhile too :] It sounds so simple, yet everyday we find reasons to try and earn Him. We never could. Never will. So since I've been home, I've been learning how to be a hard worker, and how to work out of a place of resting in the arms of undeserved grace. And I don't really get it, but I know that it's real. It's by grace and grace alone that I am saved, and I thank God for that.
