Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.

This is easier said than done. I know it to be true, but when you are waiting on the Lord it is sometimes hard to remember the promises He makes. My husband has been out of work for almost a year. He has been looking for work and he has had a couple leads. The most recent is a full time job, but they are only offering $9.50 an hour. Certainly not enough money for a family of 7 to live on. So the question is, "Is this the path the Lord is leading us on?" Or is this a distraction, an easy way out, it's a job, when we don't have one.

Lord, this job doesn't make sense. I don't understand, but I know that You have a plan for us and it is a plan to help us and not to harm us. We will do Your will in all things. Thank you Lord for your provision.

My Take on Psalm 23

Lord through your guidance
You meet all my needs.
You give me rest, relaxation,
And restoration.
For my physical body
And my spirit within.

You guide me through righteousness,
Not so I can be praised,
But so that Your name may be Glorified.

Even as this life brings trials
And death, Your strength,
Your promises, Your sacrifice
Has given me courage and comfort.

Even as this world rejects me
And ridicules me,
You are preparing a home for me.

You have chosen to over fill
My life with Your blessings.

I know that Your goodness
And your love
Will be with me
All the days of my life
And I will spend eternity
With You.

Grace Blessed

I have been blessed with the Grace of Jesus. I do not deserve it, I have not earned it. He just gave it to me.

My God and Father has given me a wonderful husband and five beautiful children. I don't deserve it. He has given me a roof over my head, food on my table, and clothes on my back. I don't deserve it. He has given me life and joy. I don't deserve it.

What a blessing to get what you don't deserve. To be loved without trying.

I hope through this blog you might get to know my God, my Father, my Savior, my Lord, my Jesus. My life is not perfect, but it is good. I don't have all the answers but I am learning. Sometimes I will share what is good and sometimes I will share what is bad, but at all times I will thank my Father in Heaven for His Mercy and Grace.

Welcome to Grace Blessed! I pray you will find His Grace and will be Blessed.
For His Glory!
