on hindsight, we often wish we didn't have to go thru' so much pain and trouble just to get to where we are today. if i had stood strong and courageous (joshua 1:9) against temptations put into place by the devil/satan, i wouldn't have caused so much unhappiness and discontentment both in me and those around me. but that's something of the past (and we'll have to be in constant prayer than it remains this way if it pleases Him)... it's great to know God has taken my heart and I've received His blessings thru' the Spirit and whatnot. surrendering to Him isn't an instantaneous decision and neither are there results immediately even with the intention. previously I've talked alot (on this blog yes) so much about receiving and accepting from Him but it was all NATO (no action, talk only). ;-) I just couldn't trust in Him without seeing results at first...sounds pretty typical huh. we don't have enough faith. He answered prayers and transformed me in a special way. He'll transform you too if you're willing. praise Him.

His grace has found me just as I am and is more than enough for me. His grace will find you just as you are too, and it's definitely sufficient. hope.
