In conversations of tough times in life, a girl I mentor wrote a challenging word this morning: "Considering what we don't deserve (outside the grace of Jesus) seems like it helps to squash expectations that often lead to a hugely dissapointing views of the world. Rather than asking the question, "Why all this bad stuff?" perhaps we should try asking, "Why anything good?"  Under this mindset, life looks pretty different......the fact that God can, let alone chooses to, resurrect any bit of good from an earth where everyone rebels is such a miracle."

Grace. Amazing, amazing grace. It's why we live and should be what we live for. Be thankful today that we've been called into another series of breaths.

And pray for Indonesia.
