grace and chicken pot pies
a fun filled day at melinda's yesterday followed by a speedy adventure down 84 to a Bible Study in Danbury. I felt like it was summer finally. windows down, radio up with the sun setting and my gynormous glasses on.
we studied galatians.. you should read it.
www.biblegateway.com if you dont have one handy.
we talked about God's grace. i am reminded that there is nothing i can DOOOO to get good with God. I am already declared righteous in His eyes because I am in Christ. That is how he sees me regardless of whether or not I am in sin.... so should we sin more so that grace can abound? (grace is unmerrited favor/love) no! (paul talks about that in romans i thinkk....6 maybe)
however, when you sin, it is easy to think you have to work your way back into God's favor.
well.... you don't. He forgives you like that. He loves you and He pours His grace out on you. even when you keep messing up over and over again. He has love and forgiveness for you that you could never deplete.
we are restored instantaneously.
we do not have to/ are unable to EVER be WORTHY of God's love and forgiveness. that is why they call grace amazing.
do i make sense?
anyway, ashly cap-a-miz-o-li.... the one with the family that you dont want to mess with cough*mafia*cough.... and i taught a bible study tonight. it was nice. then it was up to UCONN for prayer/worship at the Dinsmore's.
i ate a chicken pot pie and decorated my room with van gogh prints.
i watched a lot of democracynow.org. i love amy g.
goodnight kids.
