If Not For Your Grace

This post is a duplicate from our family BLOG, but thought it was meaningful enough to double post:

The choir is doing a really beautiful song at Easter, it really speaks my hearts cry. I thought I would share it with you.

If Not For Your Grace

(verse)
Where would I be if not for your grace
Carrying me in every season
Where would I be, if not your grace
You came to my rescue
And I want to thank you
For your Grace.

(Chorus)
Your Grace that restores
Grace that redeems
Grace that releases me to worship
Grace that repairs,
Visions and dreams
Grace that Releases Miracles
Your Grace

(Bridge)
Where would I be if not for Your grace.

I described to someone the other day that I felt a little like Job. We are walking through a season again of real unsettledness (is that even a word?) in our family. A time to depend and believe that God will come through as He promised. We are standing for healing and health, as we do everyday in our lives. I have to admit, that at times I find myself thinking, "Ok God there are others you could bestow tough times on your know" or "Will this ever end?". This song really spoke to me, reminding me that I would be nowhere with out the grace of God. He has been so faithful!

Blessings all. Don't stop believing, God is a God of BIG things! He will come through the way HE intended. Celebrate the cross everyday, not just at Easter, but in every good and hard time of your life. His grace IS sufficient for us.

In addition:
Karter is doing really well this week, even despite the three molars piercing his gums :-)

He has started to lift his head off the floor 4-6 inches, while laying on his back. It is like he is doing sit ups. Also, his sitting has improved a lot, he is sitting with minimal assistance now. and he is really using his right hand to grab at toys. these things emerged in the last two weeks.

We really feel like the gapo between milestones, has closed. We are not longer waiting 4-6 months to see changes. We are very thankful for this! Keep praying all, we are taking back the time that was lost! PLT

Yes, Praise the Lord! One step at a time!

Thanks for your reminder of God's Grace Char - that was much needed.

And remember - others have trouble to just in different ways. Those troubles are just as tiresome - although different - and we have to lean on God too.
And I'm sure there are some that don't share their hurts and hard times either - they hold it in where the enemy can get a hold of them and God can't work - I'm glad you share - then we can pray together, see God work in your lives and that is so encouraging to you and others!
