Today
I woke up to rain outside my window. I decided to spend the day in with God in
this little apartment. I felt led to listen to this podcast called “Grace
Driven Effort” this morning. The sermon is by Matt Chandler, at The
Village Church in Texas. It lined up perfectly, as if a sequel, to the blog I
wrote yesterday.
It was exactly what I needed to hear. I have spent the past
few months feeling as if I am bumbling around in this world, like my body parts
are disproportionate. I am doing my best to put to death my ‘works-driven,
self-righteous, striving for the Lord’ cloud of a mentality I had been walking
in. Now, on the other side, I am learning how to walk with God sober, instead of in my
drunken stupor. It’s all very new to me! Rest,
grace, and standing on His finished work are all very foreign. I feel like I
am trying to become accustomed to walking backwards, or upside down.

This sermon addressed many of the things I have been dealing
with. For those of you who are Christians, I highly recommend
taking 50 minutes to listen to this! It would be a good investment.
