Preach it Sista!

I know I haven't updated in a while, and that I should probably post all the amazing things (and some not quite so amazing things) that have been going on in my life, and perhaps I will in time, but what I am most excited about, and most eager to share with my friends throughout the world that read this is how Jesus blessed my very first talk.

But I don't even know how to explain it. I've been walking on cloud nine ever since I finished and my realm of terror subsided. I spoke about grace. Jesus' grace, and how to live in it. Why we should live in Jesus' grace. Even thinking about it now I think of things I could have said, or maybe should have said, scripture I could have used, words that would have better communicated what I meant, but in spite of everything I could have fallen short in, Jesus used the words I did say to communicate His loving grace of living in this fallen world.

The main point God gave me to share in a talk where my goal was to motivate people to walk with God based on grace was that we have freedom in fallenness. That Christ's grace offers us freedom in fallenness. So, I guess if I learn anything from my own talk, it is that I had the freedom to completely botch it in the first place.
