Every since dad died I’ve only had control of 2 things in my life, and that is eating right and exercising. So to have my milk taken (which by the way its important to know as well that my spending money for the month was running low) was not only an attack on the one thing I’ve held onto since dad’s death, but also a spiritual attack. All that I learned about entitlement this year instantly went down the drain and I immediately chose to give into my selfishness and my lack of trust in God for provision for me. So after I blew off steam to my good team mates Sarah and Eli, I realized how ridiculous I was being and decided to just surrender the fact that my milk had been downed.
Funny story… tonight after I had taken a shower I went downstairs to get my water bottle and a surprise met me in the freezer… my milk was completely gone… I looked for it, and apparently someone sat it on the top of the fridge to make room and forgot to put it back… so my ¼ full milk carton was now not drinkable at all because it had been sitting out in the 90 something degree heat… hahahaha. Good thing I had surrendered it earlier in the day. Oh how fast we fall back to our former selves. I’m thankful that I serve a God who always forgives, and convicts me when I am in the wrong. I’m definitely learning a lot by living in community with 24 other people.
GRACE is the most common characteristic that I’m fighting to choose daily. It’s hard to show grace when someone doesn’t deserve it. Interesting though to think on how much GRACE God shows us. How can I not show GRACE when so much GRACE is given to my unworthy being?
“…but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more” -Romans 5:20
Lessons Learned:
GRACE BRINGS LIFE INTO A SITUATION
SIN BRINGS DEATH
