Learning to live a life that has no limitations placed on it and no fear to hold it back. Just think of the possibilities. Can’t help feel this is supposed to be normal life for every human.
My Theology has changed on the matter of the flesh. I use to believe we would fight our flesh until the day we died. I no longer believe this. I can not believe that His creation was perfect and that His blood brought complete redemption if I hold to the idea that our flesh still has a strong hold on us.
I must believe two things... That His creation is very good. His Blood is enough, totally and completely. The flesh was crucified with Christ. If we try frighting our flesh we are saying His blood could not complete the work. May it never be. I chose to believe that we as man and woman are the crowning glory of creation. We are marvelous amazing complete masterpieces each with potential beyond even our own imaginations. This in NO way stands against or in opposition to the Glory of our God, rather it bring Him great glory for His creation to be all He made them to be. I believe He intend us to be the most glorious of all beings in creation. We sadden His heart when we beat our selves down in to a false submission to please a god that is not our Creator. If we truly love Him and trust His great big hands of Grace to be enough for us our flesh will die and we will come fully alive under the blood of Christ.
I will no longer beat my heart or my mind to submit to a god who’s work is not enough for me. I will let the Great King of all heal my heart and set me free to be who He made me to be. I believe the Kingdom will grow and the world be turned upside down if I and my brothers and sister choose to live lives of wreck less abandon to Him for the sole reason that we love Him because He is just so good.

What I have learned Grace really is...
GRACE
Holding so tight to the rope of grace so as not to fall
My years I spent learning how to hold on tighter.
One day however I began to slip. I tried and I tried not to fall.
Fear gripped me as I realized I wasn’t strong enough to hold on.
All I had build my life to be flashed before my eyes as I began the long fall down
I watched as all the ground taken in my climb was lost.
I woke to find my self not on a sharp bed of rocks no... for this place was soft and strong.
I lay for a while grieving all the ground that was lost looking up at the mountain that seemed bigger now than ever. I worried I would never make it to the top. I worried my salvation I had lost and His love withdrawn.
Asleep I fell again in that place that was soft and strong to over whelmed to stay awake.
When I awoke a second time my mind in a panic I thought how soon I must start my climb again.
“But first I must know what this place is that is soft and strong”
I sat up to look around. So large was the place I lay that I felt small.
Then a deep whisper not in words rose from the place that was soft and strong.
Then I knew. Then I knew. All at once I knew.
These were the hands of Grace that caught me.These soft and strong hands were Grace not that rope I had held on to!
I looked back to the mountain and saw it in new light. Not a mountain at all but a tower. A tower build by men striving to get to heaven.
I lay back again over come by all that I saw.
Closed my eyes so I could better feel the soft strength that held me.
In my rest my hand let go of the last bit of rope I held on to.
When I awoke I was no longer wearing the climbing gear, no it had melted away.
In it’s place was the most beautiful dress I had ever seen.
My hands were soft again all the scars and calluses from years of work had been cleaned away.
My feet were also soft and flexible again. In my ears were leaves of gold, around my ankles were soft links of flowers.
I stood and found my legs had new strength too.
These great big hands of Grace are where I want to live my life. Grace is a lovely thing for it let me choose, for that, I want all the more to stay.
So I will live my life undone in the hands of Grace. Oh the bliss to know I need never climb again! Need never work again, need never worry again.
Yes to live in Grace is what I choose!
Grace has told me tails of all the wonderful things that I can know in His hands.
So I will spend the rest of my life not in striving but bliss learning about Love, Joy, Peace and Hope.
I will live my life learning all the greatness that is mine, not because I strived, no, but because He gives.
This is Grace.

To LIVE!!!
So our live were well planed and ready
Now they are messy, out of the lines
But they are beautiful to us
My life use to be so tightly strait and clean
But now, oh now it’s a lovely pile of Grace
I never knew beauty could be so untamed!
Never knew Joy could be so full.
Never knew Love was so freeing
Never knew life could be so wild and yet so safe.
Never knew beauty hunted me just waiting to break in to my life
Never knew I could live in such color
Never knew such music could spring from my heart
Never knew my dreams could grow again
Never knew I never knew....
Oh such bliss to really live!!!
