celtic crosses at sunset b/w

i've definately hit the "mid point tough part" of lent. the freshness has worn off and the end is not really in sight yet. 

but i am reminded in this whole process of renewal & transformation that it is all about grace. i mean i know that my salvation begins with grace i just forget the my salvation continues only with grace too. sometimes i think it becomes about something else...like me. the gospel really is always about grace.

i like how paul says it, "but by the grace of god i am what i am..." and then right after this he says, "i worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me." this gospel of grace continues to transform & save. he also says, "the gospel i preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved,". 

i'm learning more and more what it means to live every moment in the gosple of grace which allows me to live the way of jesus. i'm learning to decide more than ever to live in the way of Jesus and to allow this to happen by his grace.

this time of lent -drawing near to God, devoting myself to him, has helped me discover more of how his grace can guide my life.
