Saved by HIS unmerited favor

For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are HIS workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. Ephesians 2:8-10

Gods continued Grace and Mercy

It is amazing how HE works in mysterious ways.  God is so much more in control than I so often acknowledge.  This week I found out my wife, Selena, is expecting our fifth child.  Exciting news right, that isn't the half of it.  Selena's sister who had been trying for some 17 years to have a baby just recently had a beautiful little girl.  She was planning to go back to work after the her ten weeks was up.  Selena had graciously consented to keep the baby while she went back to work, all the while praying that she would have a change of heart and stay home.  By HIS perfect plan with Selena being pregnant she and her husband have reconsidered and she will be staying home as soon as possible.  GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!!! 

I am such a weak little man, who's faith seems to falter so quickly.  I'm glad HE has done the work in me and pray that I will desire to trust HIM more everyday.
