Grace Wins
I did it, I reached the pinnacle the point that I thought I could never achieve. I made it there so quickly, way quicker than I expected. I looked back and I could see how I got there but those moments flew by they at the moment were unrecognizable. They didn't slow down my process and the caution signs didn't even phase me.
We have all been there. Reached a point that we never thought we could go past a limit that we said we never would and stood there and said look what I did.
Well this was me at a point last week. Except I was there for all the wrong reasons. I had reached my limit, felt overwhelmed, under resourced, even less heard and more defeated. I rushed to the end with nothing in sight and reach a limit when I never thought I would reach. I was mad, frustrated, and to top it all off put out.
This self pity consumed me and my story and in one fail swoop ruined my day. Something I am not proud of but happened. It is crazy to see how something so quickly I let get out of hand and ruin my day. Then what happened didn't surprise me but reminded me of the true provision I have been given. Grace overwhelmed me, not my grace but His. It was a forgiveness of both myself for feeling the way I felt but also forgiveness of how I acted, pouted and had my bottom lip stuck out way too far for too long.
After a few forgiveness texts were sent a reminding reality was refreshed that God has given me more than I can handle so He and I can handle things together. This joy of ok, breath, step back, refocus, take a minute and understand my position showed me that we all do this sometimes. We all get in too far over our head and forget the reason the purpose the drive behind everything. We get focused on our list, life and schedule that we forget the people, relationship and reconciliation that can happen when we pay attention.
Look for and promote peace and promote joy. It is through these things that I hope the mountain I climbed will be one that you don't have to. I hope that you can notice the warning signs and step back instead of rushing forward. I hope that you can find restoration and healing in His presence not in your own doing.
May God grant you wisdom and serenity this week to seek Him in all things.
