Grace

 There is beauty and tension to that word. It's great to experience it, but to extend it is a completely different story.

When a believer grows deeper into the Word, the more he is challenged to do radical things for His name's sake. To take God's commands as black and white is to choose to hold onto the lens of spirituality and view things differently.  "I no longer live, but Christ lives in me" is die to self. To let go of every right you think you may have and lay it at the feet of your Savior, to take captive every thought and assault it with the truth that God loves, is to truly crossover the boundary of self and go where God goes.

Radical grace. 
Radical obedience.
Radical surrender.

Birthday Wish

Today, I turn twenty-eight (yeah, I know, tell me about it...)

For this next year I have only one birthday wish. I wish that my Heavenly Father grant me wisdom. Wisdom to know when to speak, how to act,  how to respond, and how to guard my heart. This is my desire. This is my prayer.
So here's to my 28th year! Praise Jesus for what's to come! This is a new season! :)
