Love, Beauty, and Grace

I have felt so compelled lately to write about grace. To write about the love that I know. In the darkest moments of life, it could be so easy to let go of all hope... to not see a glimpse of brighter days.

It COULD be that easy. But, it doesn't have to be. Being honest, being humble, being real, and sometimes raw... this can make a difference.

Having people who love you and support you that are sitting in your cheerleading section-- well, there is a reason for this.

There is much that I know, much that I can speak eloquently on... yet, I will boldly admit... there is so much that I don't know. There is so much that is uncertain in this life we live.

If we could all have our way-- maybe we would have a paid off home and vehicle, a secure job, family and friends we adore... but, life doesn't necessarily work that way.

And, sometimes, we are fortunate enough to have moments in life where we are given an opportunity to see a glimpse of the greater things in life-- love, beauty, and grace.

My heart is sometimes so heavy for the things that I cannot change, but when I get through that... my heart is sometimes so full of love and compassion, and I am so enlightened by the wonders of a higher being. These are those treasured moments that I think, "Okay. THIS is why. THIS is what is real. THIS is what really matters." Those moments are like a new awakening-- refreshing, beautiful, and light.

I can only humble myself and just sit in awe. And, be totally and completely thankful for His grace.

There is so much I don't understand, and in these moments... I am 100% okay with that. It is my hope that you, too, have these moments. Undefinable, really... love, beauty, and grace.
