I few weeks ago now, I mentioned I’m reading My Utmost for His Highest in the mornings by the great and powerful “Oz.” This morning’s entry was entitled “Put God first.” I’m going to give you the first paragraph and the verse…just take it for what it is.
“Put Trust in God First. Our Lord never put His trust in any person. Yet He was never suspicious, never bitter, and never lost hope for anyone, because He put His trust in God first. He trusted absolutely in what God’s grace could do for others. If I put my trust in human beings first, the end result will be my despair and hopelessness toward everyone. I will become bitter because I have insisted that people be what no person can ever be- absolutely perfect and right. Never trust anything in yourself or in anyone else, except the grace of God.”
~Oswald Chambers
“Jesus did not commit Himself to them…for He knew what was in man” ~ John 2:24-25
~The God of the Universe and lover of my soul
Seemingly impossible is no sweat when God's grace is involved...lest I forget.

Amen to that! Although, it is not the easiest thing to do.
I will not be able to go to the Princess Bride movie night. I know. I know. It is certainly an inconceivable thought. However, it is in fact true. Anyway, I have to go to this bridal shower thing for my roommie, which should be interesting to say the least. :-/
Amen sister!
Amen...grace, grace, grace.
