So, you may wonder why I named my blog, Because of Grace. Well, simply...it is because anything that I am...anything that I possess of value is because of grace. If I have anything valuable to contribute, any talent to lend, any advice to offer it is ALL because of grace! Truthfully, most days I feel I have so little to contribute. And the days when I feel I do have something to say...I am always humbly reminded...that it is all because of Him...because of His unfailing, amazing grace. So, with that, let's get started...
Why exactly is grace so profound to me? Because:
- Some days I do not feel like doing what I feel like the Lord has asked me to do~namely, be a living sacrifice.
- Being a wife and mother is HARD and I mostly feel like I fail at it.
- I am miserably lazy and idle with too much of my time.
- I lose my temper and raise my voice out of frustration too many times...a day.
- I struggle with wanting what I cannot have and not wanting what I do have.
- I struggle with eating too much.
- I want to be thin...not so I can be healthy (though that would be nice) but because I want to be pretty....in the world's eyes.
- I am too often in the world and not in the Word.
- I am a terrible friend sometimes.
- I am a terrible wife sometimes.
- I am a terrible mom sometimes.
- I think about myself far more than I think about others.
- I do not love people like I ought.
- Because this list could go ON AND ON AND ON....you get the idea.

I'm following you, my friend!!! Welcome to blogspot.
His grace also covers the pressure that we put on ourselves to do things right all the time.....you are a wonderful friend, wife & mother...I struggle with the same issues...of getting angry & frustrated, wanting to be thin & eating too much....not being in the Word enough. It's wonderful that His mercies are new every morning and we have a new grace for everyday! Love you,

I made it! Had to google you but I made it. I so understand what you are saying about your struggles and being thankful for grace. Once again I am convinced we are quite similar! Today I have been praying to be the mom that He would have me be - not the one I am... I don't think I even have it in my in my natural self... I think that mom is only a possible thought because of grace. Not sure if that makes sense...
I found ya friend, I can be techno challenged you know. I love your blogs. Without His grace I would be nothing and would give in to the feeling that I am nothing most of the time. But God brings that loving grace and I am reminded that I am something because I am His. You are so right about all of it. Love You!Chelle
