and still, there is grace.

how faithful our father is.

we have been on such a long journey these past few years. one full of trial, weakness, despair & sometimes even hopelessness. yet now, we adjust to this new season that has come upon us so quickly. a reprieve from the struggle of every day hardships.

and it's now, even more, i realize that oh, how much we have learned. how we have grown. been changed for the better.

this morning, i am freshly reminded of god's faithfulness. of the joy that i can feel seemingly deep in my bones. of the hope that i have in christ, & in this life.

what a unique sweetness i have felt in looking back over this hard time & seeing god's hand guiding us. holding us. seeing us through in ways our souls could only groan for in the moment. i have felt the presence & peace of a father that loves me so well. & i have seen with what seems like new eyes. the countless blessings that i have in my life. and how there are so many, many things that we don't deserve, & yet can call our own.

i know that there will come a time again when my heart is troubled. when i feel the fear & lack of joy creep in to my person.

but for today, there is grace.

and i'm learning that, when that moment comes, there is more grace still. when i try to succeed on my own, and fail, there is even more grace.

by god's grace, i'm beginning to understand my need for it. & that it is ever with me.

praying that you find rest in god's grace. today & every day.

love.
