Grace - 

What is grace? 

The elusive word....

As I read "One Thousand Gifts" by Ann Voskamp

I'm in awe, amazement and wonderment at what that really means.

I was meeting a friend at The City Church to see Kari Jobe lead in worship...

but I got lost...was late....had a high rate due the lostness of myself....

missed all but one song by Kari Jobe

BUT 

I heard the message by Judah Smith which was obviously why God wanted me to go.

It was on....drum-roll please

GRACE

the word that has been ever present before me.

He spoke of how grace must come before Faith

because faith is actually something that I do.

He spoke of how often we put Works in front of everything because it's the seen.

He spoke of how Grace is not an understand word...even by him.

What does it mean?

How does it relate to my life?

The question remained unanswered. 

I will embark on a new search...

What is grace?

Ann says that "all is grace". 

Is that true?

Is ALL truly God's grace.

Don't we make decisions and do actions and say words that alters 

the course of history?

Does God's grace really cover all our mistakes?

Yes, of course.

But how much better could our life be if we hadn't made those stupid decisions 

or done that immature thing

or said that unkind/untrue word?

How does God's grace really function?
