Grace

I think I expected this summer to be more like last summer- hot without a chance of rain- ever.  But with June came over four inches of rain.

I expected that Asher would put up more of a fight after we put his crib in the attic and moved him to the bottom bunk, but my boys have been bunkmates for over a week now and it seems to be the new normal at our house.

I didn't expect it to be so easy.  

I thought I would take in this summer with a kicked-back, easy feeling, but I've had more than enough to fill my days from the moment my eyes open to well past the time a hush falls over the house at night.

I didn't expect this summer to be so full. 

It's a good thing that in the midst of it all, no matter what surprise comes and no matter what I can do or can't do, His grace is sufficient.

It is enough. 

It is steady in uncertainty, powerful in our weakness, and more than enough for all we need.

Hallelujah and thank you, Lord, for grace.
