I am a writer.

Sifting through the layers of me, I had to find what my true voice was. It took awhile to get rid of the bulls--t, the what I wanted to be's, the what I'd never be's, the too bad I'll always be's...and finally to the what I truly can be, before I heard a voice I almost didn't recognize. It started out faint and grew. It became louder, clearer and real to me. Then I did recognize it. It is my voice, it is me. It is my words, my experience, my failures, my successes, my doubts, my fears, my loves, my hates, my reality. I am now looking for the courage to share it.

Grace is...

...unmerited favor, kindness, a gift. Living in grace gives us help we don't deserve; favor we cannot earn. Living in God's grace makes us able to endure life's difficulties and not give up. It's hard sometimes not to give up, but grace can reinforce our resolve. God can cover us with His wings of protection and grant us His favor, attention, consideration and enable us to get through the hardships of our lives. God's grace is sufficient.
