I am so utterly humbled by the work the Lord is doing in my life. I am so undeserving of His love and grace, but yet He continues to pour it upon me. i had a moment last week, you know the kind of moment that stops you in your tracks and drops you to your knees?
How easy it is for me to get consumed by the "thorns" of this life and forget the AMAZING & CRAZY love He has for me. I was reminded by a story my husband told me about his day at work. He began to tell me about a customer he was helping, and how this customer wanted to know more about Tim and his life. Tim told him how I had been plagued with illness after illness and was near death just before our wedding day. Tim also told him of the struggles we have gone through because of my "unexplained" illnesses. The mans reply is what hit me (and Tim). Although I know what the man said to be true, and I have praised my Father for it, I still at some points seem to forget the magnitude of it. The man replied, "I am very sorry, and I am also sorry that she will Im sure not be able to get pregnant because of this."
There it is. The moment. As I stand listening to Tim tell me this story, it hits me. I know I shouldn't be pregnant, but some days I just seem to know it with my head and not my heart.
Grace was shown to Tim and myself in Tim's reply, "well sir, we are expecting a little girl in December!"
He gave us Grace. He has pour grace upon Tim and I in a way I believe I will continue to learn. Our sweet Gracie girl has been one of the biggest signs of grace in my life, and she isn't even here yet!
There is SO much I have to learn, and so much He still has to teach me, it seems as though I tend to get into the way when He tries to teach me something.
