The title of this post means “endowed with grace”. Isn’t it such a beautiful word? I really think it is. At least when you have been “endowed with grace” it becomes beautiful.
The story goes like this: yesterday I was confused and overwhelmed. I actually was not sure how I was feeling at the time…lost would be a good word to use. I felt like my prayers were being unheard and the Holy Spirit wasn’t reminding me of truth. The truth I told myself fell on a cold heart. I wasn’t in despair, it was more just…apathy. And while I hated it, I was stuck.
Until today. Though it was merely a day, it was a long day yesterday, and even the beginning of today felt like it would be the same. But instead it wasn’t. Today, I was graced.
I didn’t have a quiet time (though I should have), and I didn’t spend a lot of time alone with God (like I did yesterday, to no avail). I went to football practice, did homework, and dressed up for the dodgeball tournament. We cheered on the referees, and then we came back and collapsed. I got grass stains, researched Acts 1:8, and yelled a ton. And had a blast, enjoying life.
And even though there wasn’t a ton spiritual about it (though the research on Acts 1:8 was fascinating), I think God gives us days like those. Days when he distracts our minds from worry and just “establishes peace for us”. Even if I didn’t spend hours reading my Bible–I spent the day with Him. He is ever-present. And in Him being ever-present, I have peace. I am not troubled like I was yesterday. My heart is no longer (at least for the moment) in turmoil.
I have been graced by tube socks.

um..this is odd but i think the tube socks picture is kind of cool and for the moment, while my picture of me in my tube socks and converse is stuck on the camera which won’t upload to the computer, i would like a temporary picture for my myspace and wanted to keep the tube socks theme. that’s when i found this picture. i was curious if i could use this picture for the time being and i wanted to ask your permission, i guess. if you don’t respond i won’t use it, but thanks.
