Amazing Grace

So I'm doing a bible study on GRACE, which I'm realizing I didn't fully grasp before this study. I won't get into all the amazing details of it, but can I just say that it's amazing how much God loves me, and I how much I don't deserve... any of it. I hope I can spread that kind of love and grace to every single person I meet!

Well, we watched this amazing "boy band" sing opera as an intro to the first lesson on this wonderful thing that a song was written after-- "Amazing Grace." Now, can I tell you that I had heard of this group before, and I heard rumors that Simon Cowell put them together. But I had never listened to them or seen them. Um....... Simon Cowell is truly and most definitely a genius. These "boys" are from all over--Spain, Italy, France, and the U.S. and all I can say is that I think everyone in Heaven will sound and look like this.

Here's the group, Il Divo, singing at the Colosseum in Italy. Ugh.... I have GOT to go visit my friend Kyra in Rome when Il Divo is in town. Enjoy this beautiful gift.

How? Where? Why is there joy in a world filled with such pain? Is is true joy? Is it fabricated or medicated joy? Is it temporary joy or will it fade with the next whisper of pain? No. I have felt a joy that far outweighs my pain. It's a joy that doesn't make sense mixing with a pain that culminates in reality. It's a joy that couldn't be concocted by even the most elaborate of artists. As I've experienced some of the most intense physical pain during some of the most intense emotional pain, I have noticed and experienced some of the purest forms of joy and peace that cannot be watered down by logic. We lost our second child this week. At just seven weeks old, our precious baby gets to escape a world o...

Confessions

I have had so many people thank me for my honesty on this blog lately. I haven't really thought about my level of truthfulness until those remarks of gratitude were given. I think I naturally wear my heart on my sleeve, and thanks to my upbringing, I often hear the term TMI, which just means I'm obviously not scared to express myself. However, I also believe that when you are going through something difficult, it's much easier to be raw and real in front of others, even complete strangers. Often times, it is these "real" moments that bridge the gap between hearts and allow us to live truth. I must confess, this marathon is really all over the place. It's like I hit mile 7, and I can't believe I'm only at mile 7! This past weekend, I felt covered in prayer, peace, and love. Matthew and I enjoyed a much needed date night, our little Levi enjoyed a quiet and restful weekend, and our big boy had a blast at our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt.  I really ju...
