Day 1

I get incredibly more than I derserve. I can't tell you how many people have told me what I deserve. You deserve a guy, a nicer house, a better life, and on and on. 

Honestly now, I see that the life that I have is so beyond what I deserve. Everything that I have right now is a gift from God.

For the sin that I have done I deserve to be separated from God forever. But that's not the way that God wrote my story. He saved me, called me, redeemed me. He gave me what I didn't deserve. He gave me a new life, a new identity, a home forever, a place in His heart. This is the life I live by faith through the blood of Christ. It's not anything I do, it is all given to me by an incredibly loving God. 

I'm thankful for what I don't deserve, but what has been graciously and lavishly given to me. 

Simple Moments

Live in the moment that you are given. Don’t let your mind (unless you are daydreaming. More on that in a few days) wonder. Refocus on what is right in front of you. Put your whole heart and soul into it. Live in the moment.
