I am filled to the brim. My mind is spinning with tasks, calendars, conflicts, events, relationships, emotions and I could go on. Filled in the sense that I think I may explode. Do you have those seasons? Seasons when the plates are spinning and you fear one wrong move and they will all crash? I'm learning to balance work and life in a way I haven't had to before. How do I let go of work when I pull in the drive-way? How do I let go of personal stress when I enter the office? How do I take it one task at a time when there are ten that need to be done right now. How do I just stop and take a break? I don't really have the answer to any of these questions, I'm wrestling through the season of life God has me in, wrestling through the lessons He's taking me through, wrestling through the relationships He has me in. But one thing I do know is that there's something else I'm filled to the brim with - His grace! I can soak it in today, soak in all the grace that I need! I can soak in all the grace I need to accomplish today's tasks. I can soak in all the grace I need to work through today's hurdles. I can soak in all the grace I need to work through today's relationship highs and lows. I can soak in all the grace I need! Then when I can't do anymore my head hits the pillow and I wake in the morning to a whole new dose of grace!
Right now in this moment I am choosing to focus on the grace He's giving me instead of the task the world is. The next moment may bring a new struggle and I will have to remind myself again, but in this moment I am choosing joy because of His grace.
Remind me friends, and I'll remind you, joy because of grace.
