Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace

how sweet the sound

that saved a wretch like me

I once was lost 

But now I'm found

Was blind

but now, I see so clearly

Hallelujah 

Grace like rain

falls down on me

Hallelujah 

all my stains are washed away

they're washed away

T'was grace that taught

my heart to feel

And Grace my fears released

How precious

did that Grace appear

the hour I first believed

Hallelujah

Grace like rain falls down on me

Hallelujah

All my stains are washed away 

When we've been there 10,000 years

bright shining as the sun

We've no less days to sing Your praise

Then when we first begun! 

HALLELUJAH 

GRACE LIKE RAIN FALLS DOWN ON ME

HALLELUJAH

ALL MY STAINS ARE WASHED AWAY

Sometimes I find myself wondering why the God of the universe would care enough to wash away MY dirty, ugly sin. So many times I am reminded that I am no better than a criminal. God doesn't have a sliding scale of sins. My gossip is just as bad as murder. I am so thankful that my God IS MIGHTY TO SAVE! And he chose to save ME.  This morning as I sit and listen to worship music, I feel the words healing my heart. These past few days have been ones of stress, and making decisions about our future, and I am so glad that I can just sit and let the Lord fill my heart. 

As I sit here I am also thinking of a day almost two years ago. The day I became a 

wife. The day I made a vow to my husband, and to God, that I would stand by his side forever. 

Kevin has been there for me through my surgeries and poor health, and all of the days that I was too tired to do much more than sleep. And now it's my turn to stand beside my husband and support him as he makes a decision for his career, and for our family. We were going to keep it quiet for a little longer, but my husband is bursting, so the secret it out. Kevin has been talking about this since high school and we finally decided to take a leap. Kevin is going to join the military. It's ben something we've talked about for about a year. As I write this I am excited, and I'm also scared looking into a future of uncertainty. But mostly I'm proud, I'm so proud of my husband, and I can't wait to take this jump into the unknown with the love of my life, and my best friend.
