Empty Handed

"Your grace has found me just as I am;

empty handed but alive in your hands"

I love visuals like this:) I come to Him with nothing; without him I am dirty and worthless with nothing to hold onto; I have absolutely nothing to offer- an absolute mess.

But with Him, I hold a love I cannot even fathom, a security to place my hope in, a mercy and grace to free me from the captivity of my sins, wisdom to live in His word, compassion for others and their hearts, and a yearning to share his love with others. He is the one thing that is constant; the one thing of which I can be certain:) In all things, He is good. He is always good. But if I don't allow Him to hold me in His hands like the child I am, I can't see this, I don't understand it, I don't want to understand, I become afraid, I am lazy, and I begin to worry; I am not alive without Him, and this I can say from some seeerious experience. 

Headed to the lake today for David's grad party. The weather is a tad gloomy, but with the Gridleys, that is never a reason to get spirits down:) 

Seems like everyone is a little cranky today. Or maybe I'm the cranky one. Can't really tell, but I'll work on it. Besides, only 3 days until I leave for Beach Project. No reason to let the world get me down. 

It's going to be pretty weird not being able to write every few days this summer. Unless I can manage to find  a computer somewhere. I've kinda grown to enjoy all this blogging:) I am pretty pumped to be away from Facebook, though. Sometimes, I just can't handle it. Creeping on people isn't the best use of my time I've decided. Maybe I'll limit it to getting on like twice a week from here on out. hm.. I'll keep you posted on how that one goes over.

enjoy the day:)

his love.
