Something amazing happened to me today, and it is only fitting that my first post be of worthy content. I engaged in a conversation with my dear friend Lauren that literally had me shaking, weeping, and giggling with a giddiness I don't remember ever feeling before. It was one of those "aha!" conversations that don't come very often in daily routine. Finally, after three years of struggling and feeling so weighted down with a burden I couldn't explain or even understand completely, she verbalized it, and even a step further - she offered a solution. Finally, after 21 years of church and Christian life and private Christian school and Bible college and Sunday school and countless sermons and small group and girls' Bible study and dorm devos and Worship Nights and exegetical papers and Greek word studies and reading Christian literature and reading GOD'S WORD... I finally understand the grace of the Father and what that means for my life. It's like I knew all along but didn't recognize it with a fullness that would transform my life. I had head knowledge of it, but I did not allow it to change me and penetrate my heart or my very being. Because I do not want my words to be jumbled or misunderstood, I will continue with later posts about this amazing realization of Truth I experienced today. Thank you, Lauren, for allowing God to use you in totally rocking my world.
Everything is going to be different now, and that is a very beautiful thing.
