Swirling Thoughts in my Sleepy Head:)

We serve an awesome God...I could just leave it at that...
I am totally overwhelmed tonight thinking about life. Aren't we all just walking billboards for God's grace? Unmerited favor. We don't do anything to deserve it, since hell is all we deserve, and yet God chose to save us and give us His Grace, His favor...for free! I love free stuff:)
I am sitting up tonight bawling my eyes out thinking of my past and my present. I must admit I am feeling really grateful for my present. In a few months it will have been 4 years since my life was turned upside down and yet God has been there to walk beside me and guide me to my life now.
It is crazy how just one choice, one decision can change the course of your life completely and yet God knows and He lets us make dumb mistakes and try out that crooked, wide path...but then somehow guides us back to the narrow, straight one. (Josiah and I are reading Pilgrim's Progress)
Grace, pure and simple.
Tonight I am thankful for a second chance at marriage and a partner who honors me by striving for what God wants for him and for us. I am thankful that he supports my decision to homeschool and he encourages me when I don't feel like I can do it anymore. I am thankful for my 2 beautiful girls that he has given me, I can't imagine my life without them both. I am thankful that he loves my little boy and tries so hard to teach him to be a Godly man someday, but most of all he gives him a good example to follow.
God never promised us an easy life, but he did promise us that He would never leave us or forsake us. He also told us He has a plan for us...we just have to move out of the way:)
Thanks God for your good gifts and for your unmerited favor in my life...
