1 Samuel 28 & 29; Psalm 109; Matthew 11

Talked alot yesterday about GRACE.....alot about seeking YOU.....listened to people and tried so hard to JUST listen and yet in my head I want to point them to You....is that wrong??

Talked alot yesterday about GRACE...alot about what it looks like to seek You.....listened to people who don't understand either......

Talked alot yesterday about GRACE...alot about receiving it and .........listened and tried to grasp it.....
And then....today it's the title of this blog....reading AGAIN Matthew 11:28-30 a year of writing here....
"Experiencing the present purely is being empty and hollow;
you catch grace as a man fills his cup under a waterfall. " Annie Dillard
Grace is a daily...moment by moment....need FOR ME.....why does that come as such a surprise....I read this quote and I am just struck with a vision of a waterfall and me in it...smack dab in the middle of it with my cup extended trying to fill it and of course you can't the force of the water/grace is so overwhelming. I am drenched but the cup is empty, nothing to take away, I have to stay smack dab in the middle of the fall. Maybe if I do and become so drenched w/love and grace....I won't be able to stop giving it to others???
