Oh Happy Day...

This morning I woke up and just felt so happy and content.  As I was walking the dogs, I looked up into the sky and the joy just kept on flowing.  It was such an awesome feeling!  Oh, how I want to just live every day with this feeling!

Looking back on this past year, I can see so much growth and making smarter decisions to draw closer and closer to God.  It is only by grace that I am where I am right now.  It still boggles my mind when I think about the price that was paid to wash me of my sins and my relationship with God to be reconciled.  I was so incredibly dirty and nasty, yet God choose to place all of it on His son.  For this I am humbled and truly thankful.  I pray that I can awaken each day thanking Him for the perfect life Jesus lived and the shedding of Jesus' blood on the cross.  I so do not deserve it, but God was so gracious.
