Even at the Bar

Ok, Now I'm really really REALLY sorry!

I just want to share a quick story.

So, I have a friend from my hometown (Rockford) that is getting married. And, being the good friend that I am I came up for the bacholorette party last night. Lets just say...Uhgh!
I spent last night bar hopping and driving drunk people around, drunk women at that! Not fun.
I'm sure that I don't need to tell you all what I seen last night. To simplify it, it was worldly behavior.

This morning I sat wishing I could have my 6 hours back from last night. I would have got to bed at a decent time and I could have spent more time with my baby and my parents that I don't get to see every often.
But, now, I see that God taught me something from last night. He taught me just how much he loves me. In a way that I wouldn't have learned if I didn't go.

Last night I didn't want to go, I have been dreading it for a over a month. But God used it. He chose that moment to show me what his grace and mercy is all about. And so now, I know that going last night played an important part in my spiritual growth.

All I can say is praise the Lord for how good he is! His grace for us is more than I can understand.

"Your grace is enough, Your grace is enough, Your grace is enough for me
Your grace is enough, heavens reaching down to us! "
