Thinking about Facebook

and something I just posted:

“Can you imagine a life with no fear? What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats?” ― Max Lucado

My answer to this question is, first of all, I can't even imagine and yet I know it is right and that it is possible.  I know that faith needs to be the default reaction, unfortunately, my default reaction is fear and what did I read today somewhere, the " sky is falling " reactor.  You can find more on that at this link:

Basically though, my first reaction is freaking out.  Oh yes, I can even name a couple people you can ask, but I won't.  :)

Anyway, what I am getting at with this whole post is everything that I post on   Facebook, I believe to be TRUTH but most of it is so hard for me to wrap my head around.  I post not only to encourage others, but to encourage me.  Does that make sense?  Everyone who knows me, or reads my stuff anyway, know that I do NOT have it together but I desire to and I'm working that way.  NO...YES, unfortunately, I am working too hard.  It's all part of me understanding the GRACE of God.  I never meant this to be a grace post but I guess in a nutshell it is. 

 I just thought I'd share and let you know AGAIN, I believe it ALL to be TRUTH and that without Him, without His Grace, I might as well just give up

Blessings on you.

Accepting grace and living in it, also means that you allow the world to happen without trying. Trying means that you think you need to help and you don't. It's a VERY difficult message for humans to grasp, understand, and actually practice.

Difficult, yes, but possible!! He says so. <3 Grace like this ( and the way your describe it ) is a new concept to me. That it can be different from the way that I have lived, is so new and as hard as it is searching and learning, I know that this GRACE is available to me. Praise GOD!!
