God's Amazing Grace

God's grace is ALWAYS present in my life. I see a lot of it, and I humbly acknowledge that His grace is so much more than a human eye can see. I know that part of His grace, is that He protects me from even being aware of so much evil and harm that surrounds me and/or my family. I am eternally grateful for His protection and grace.

Recently, for whatever reason, I have been especially aware of His grace in my life. To name only a few, I'll share that God's grace was upon us as our neighbor's house was robbed last month, not ours. I do believe our house was in the process to be robbed (6 weeks ago when kids and I home), but Perry scared them away. Two men were following me at the mall this past week and God put it on my gut to be aware of these two men and say something to the sale person at the 4th store they followed me in. I didn't rear-end the person in front of me because they moved up a couple of inches as I was approaching them quickly (not on purpose! lol). Based on symptoms, Nathan "should" have a hernia, but just 3 days before, Nathan was prayed over at church with oil and I believe God's grace has healed him and we're paying a large co-pay for a prescription instead of a large hospital bill, risks involved in surgery, Nathan's mental/emotional well being, etc. We had money to pay rent this month and pay for food. I got a full-time job without going through the burden of looking hard or for a long period of time. My full-time job has amazing health benefits.

I have so many more examples of God's grace on us! All of these things above are only what I am aware of. God goes before me (us) and He road blocks so much more than I could ever fathom.

God has also been bringing several friends or new (new to me) moms in my life that they too, have to go back into the work force in order to make ends meet in their home. No joke, there are 6 other friends (1 of my sisters too...she's a friend also ;-)) that in are in the same situation and have already started working or just about to, like myself. It's not a 'misery loves company' sort of thing, I look at it like it's an opportunity for me and them to lift each other up with encouragement, prayer and those 6 can honestly relate to my circumstances and me, to them.

Glory to God!!!
