Welcome to Grace, Faith and Me! 

Guess this should have been my first post huh?  Are you wondering why I would choose that name for my blog?  I did too.  My sister, who is Bev from here on out, :)  had talked to me about blogging for a few years and one of my hesitations was the name.  I just had  no idea. 

So we started talking about the reason for my blog.  What do I want to accomplish? What is my focus? As we talked my goal for having a blog would first and foremost be to honor my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 
I would like to share my journey through this life God gave me and hopefully to encourage you on your own journey with Jesus. I wanted a name that would reflect first Him and second my journey with Him. 
And so Grace, Faith and Me was created.  
I will try to explain why...

First....Grace...what is grace?  my Bible dictionary tells me grace is "God's free and unmerited favor for sinful humanity."  my online Webster's dictionary says grace is favor,pardon, mercy, privilege, goodwill, kindness, the favorable influence of God. 

2 Corinthians 12:9 ....."My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness".......(NIV)

1 Corinthians 15:10    But by the grace of God, I am what I am, and His grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them, yet not I, but  the grace of God that was with me   (NIV)

Ephesians 2:4-5    But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions, it is by grace you have been saved. (NIV)

Hebrews 4:16   Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (NIV)

2 Peter 3:18  But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever. Amen! (NIV)

It is only by the grace of God that I am here today typing this.  God picked up a mouthy, sassy, ready to fight, yet deep inside so insecure and hurting, skinny girl and through many, many years of grace and even through the years of disobedience, God in His great love for me has allowed me to grow in the grace and knowledge of His Son, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!  

That's why I chose grace.  I am living proof of the grace of God. Undeserving on my way to hell. Until.......God's grace!  

I am praying that you also will experience God's grace in your life.  I pray you will grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!.  Believe me, it is the most exciting journey you will ever take! 

I want to thank those who commented on my first couple of posts.  I appreciate your comments and will do my best to be a faithful blogger! 

Have a great night and may God's grace be apparent to you this week.
