Meditation Mondays - Your Grace is Enough

So for the past three weeks our pastor has been talking about God's Grace. It's gotten me to think more about it and look at it in a different way. 

God's Grace is underserved and unearned! 

You are not free to sin; you are free not too sin. 

God is Gracious! God is Compassionate! God is Slow to Anger! God is Rich in Love! 

Isn't it wonderful that His Grace is enough for us? That we are covered in His love? We don't deserve it but God loved us so much He gave us grace. 

Grace comes from God! God is full of Grace! 

Remember that He is faithful in all He does! You are God's masterpiece! You are a child of the King! Remember you are never a mistake. 

If you want check out the song Your Grace is enough by Chris Tomlin. Its one of my favorite songs. 

Have a blessed day! 

Blessings and Shalom,

Grace Mae 

Worship Wednesdays - Forever (Give Thanks)

So as we all are preparing for Thanksgiving tomorrow, I thought it would be good to reflect on one of my favorite songs for Thanksgiving. Forever by Chris Tomlin. We has so much to be thankful for. God is so good and His love endures forever. He sent His Son to die for us because He loved us so much. Forever God is faithful, strong, and is always with us. What are you thankful for?

"Forever"

Give thanks to the Lord our God and King
His love endures forever
For He is good, He is above all things
His love endures forever
Sing praise, sing praise
With a mighty hand and outstretched arm
His love endures forever
For the life that's been reborn
His love endures forever
Sing praise, sing praise [2x]
Forever God is faithful
Forever God is strong
Forever God is with us
Forever
From the rising to the setting sun
His love endures forever
And by the grace of God we will carry on
His love endures forever
Sing praise, sing praise [2x]

Forever God is with us
Forever
Sing praise, sing praise [4x]
Forever God is faithful
Forever God is strong
Forever God is with us

Meditation Modays - Let Us Be Thankful!

Welcome back to Meditation Mondays! This post is getting out later then I wanted but to share with you my thoughts on being thankful as we are preparing for Thanksgiving this week. 

Sunday I was working in with the 5 year olds/kindergartners at our church. We took them down to the other classroom to meet with the 4 year olds for songs and a mini lesson. Since it was the Sunday before Thanksgiving the lesson was on being thankful. When the teacher asked the kids what they were thankful for their answers just blew my mind. 

Usually you think at that age they would say toys, food, family, etc....but instead they said that they were thankful for Jesus, God, The Bible, their Church, prayer and family. 

I'm so glad that at such a young age our church is teaching them the truth and that they know how important these things are. 

So my question to you is what are you thankful for this year? 

I'm thankful for a number of things. First off, I'm thankful for God and my relationship with Jesus Christ because without Him I would be lost. Second, I am thankful for my family. My parents, Nanna, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins, and people I choose to be my family. 

I'm thankful for Amber and Summer. They are Godly young women who always know how to encourage me and pray for me. They make me laugh, smile, and I can be completely real with them. I know if I have a problem I can always count on them. One thing for sure is that we all love God and continue to grow in our faith together. They have surpassed being my best friends. They are my unbiological sisters. They are my family and I couldn't live my life without them. I can't wait to see what is ahead of us and how God will use us to bring more people to know Him.

I'm thankful for my best friend Jordyn. She's a pretty awesome friend. She's the only one that understands my craziness for knitting and crocheting and anything that has to do with fiber.  I always enjoy our late night chats and that she makes me laugh. I'm thankful that she and I can totally be honest and say things even though sometimes it doesn't make sense. I love that she is my friend. I can't wait to see what other crazy projects lay ahead of us. Where life takes us? I thank God that we are friends and I don't know what I would do without her. 

Remember Give Thanks to the Lord for He is good and His mercy endures forever. 

Worship Wednesdays - The Same God

Welcome to a brand new series. I'm calling it Worship Wednesdays. Why that name? Well as most of you know, one passion I have is music. There's nothing better then music to help me get through the day and when the music pleases and worships God it makes it even better. So I am hoping to bring you a new worship song that I have been listening to each week. My prayer is that it will encourage and inspire you to spend more time praising God. 

So are you ready? Let's get to this weeks song. 



Today I decided to choose the song The Same God by: Newsong. It's one I have been listening to a lot lately. One thing about this song is I can relate to it. I have been having a lot of family stress going on lately and it's gotten to the point that I feel like I can't take much more. I keep praying but sometimes it feels like God doesn't hear me. After listening to this song I am reminded that God was with me before all this happened and He is still with me now. I just keep holding on to Him. He will get me through this. He is the same God yesterday, today, and forever. 

Hope this song encourages you. Here are the lyrics below. Let's worship God together in song. 

Back to the wall, scared you'll fall
What you going to do
Day and night,
Don't know why its like the worlds' against you
You're praying for a break through
There was a day
When your faith couldn't be held down
God was near enough to hear every word
But somehow you wish He heard you right now
Don't you know
The same God who was with you then is with you now
The same God who led you in will lead you out
So take all the fear and doubt
Go on and lay them down
The same God, the same God is with you now
Can't you see
Everything happens for a reason
There's a time, there's a place
For every season
He knows what's best for you
So don't be afraid
The same God who was with you then is with you now
The same God who led you in will lead you out
So take all the fear and doubt
Go on and lay them down
The same God, the same God is with you now
Just keep holding on
Oh keep holding on
The same God who was with you then is with you now
The same God who led you in will lead you out
So take all the fear and doubt
Go on and lay them down
The same God, the same God is with you now
