I have been doing some serious praying and thinking the past few days since my last blog entry.  I have been seeking Christ and meeting with a select few men in my life to tackle some core issues in my heart.  And what I keep thinking about today is the verse Romans 8:28 which states:

     "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose."

In my last blog entry I stated that the last few weeks have not been good for me.  I was in a low spot and just not doing good.  While there in that place, I kind of just lived in my sin, and things happened that were not good.  But looking back those couple of weeks, I see now how God used those two horrible weeks to bring Him glory.  At the end of those weeks, which was when I blogged the previous blog entry, some things were set into motion that I feel would not have been put into motion had I not had those two bad weeks.  It's almost like those bad weeks needed to happen.  Good truly is coming out of the bad here.  I have gained new wisdom and been shown new things and I am now tackling those issues (and wounds) in my heart with such intensity and vigor.

I am in awe how God does that.  His Grace and mercy are so overwhelming.  It is true that His love is so powerful and strong His passion for us just takes over.  I think I want to get a tattoo that states something about sinking in Grace, with Grace being an ocean.  It's part of the story of my life.
