Grace

Last night I listened to one of Rob Bell's last sermons... and it was about grace.  I have been really struggling with having Ingrid in our lives lately and I have never been resentful towards anybody, and I would like to keep it that way, but she is making it really difficult.  I know that I'm being judgmental and I have been praying for the ability to show her grace as I've been shown grace repeatedly.

Tomorrow is going to be Rob's last sermon at Mars Hill.  Of course there are mixed feelings/emotions about it, but I am really excited to hear it.  He just delivers things in such a way that speaks differently to me every time I listen to his messages.

So through this Christmas season I am praying that grace can flow out of me.  That I will know how to deal with her and hopefully she will see what Christmas is really about.  Not little trinkets and meaningless gifts but about Christ and what He does for us daily.
