Your grace is enough
just a real quick update (i have to go to p20 in 10 min)
first off, ;pbr upi msm
i had 21 amazing messages from this girl who's writing a dissertation, going to law school, and still finding time to send me 21 messages on AIM.
they broke the cycle. i don't know what it was. maybe the simple laying out of "He's always there, no matter what you feel." or laying out that He loves me, no matter what. i could feel, i could cry.
and then i cried a lot during church. some tears were sad, some joyful, some reverent (i think, can you cry reverently?).
the reason?
realizing that His grace is enough. it clicked - i don't have to do anything at all to bring myself up to Him, but that He's continually lowering Himself, stooping down, to whisper into my ear, to tell me He loves me.
i don't get it. i don't understand and can't comprehend it one bit. but i can feel it again.
on a kind of funny note, it felt weird to cry without Shana...ok, so maybe not funny, but really weird....
:)
peace
