Deuteronomy 16-18; Psalm 38; Galatians 2

so driving to breakfast this morning I got to thinking....
I lived my whole life wanting and going after what I want...I collided w/Jesus and found out the point of the journey is to want what God wants MORE than anything......
I found out the two didn't match and was stunned and then felt stupid and guilty....in the collision w/Christ I discovered GRACE and ......and.....

I don't know.... I think I am going to think on this more.....GRACE instead of feeling stupid and inferior......guilty......GRACE needs to drive me today in the softness it has to be about GRACE and Him or I'll just go back to wanting what I want.....or get stuck in feeling guilty....

Deut 16-18 "God, your God'"35 times in 3 chapters .....I hear You.....
The Psalm today rings true...
and then Galatians 2....ahhh I have so much to learn..... I don't know how to give it away...but that I desire to ....maybe in living in the freedom You offer...somehow...someway....the love I feel will eek out of me for Your glory....I hope so Father...I do....so another soft and weepy day...trusting in YOUR protection.....
So where are you on the journey??

I am actually doing my own reading plan and what I have seen is how pathetic my attempts to be "good" for God are. How my unintentional oops are still sin...but I didn't know. I am seeing how my strengths can often be my weaknesses. How amazing this God is who still, despite knowing how we will mess up, says that He is our God. I am in awe as I await with excitement this grandbaby, and, this may seem corny, to introduce her to Jesus-something I couldn't, didn't, do for my son. Grace is so good. God is so good.
