Turn pain into praise. Restore in me the joy of your salvation

My Heavenly Father always amazes me. He has given me freedom, and because of Him, I exist.

 I want to follow Paul's example of how he loved God. When he was in prison, on death row, he was praying and singing to God at MIDNIGHT. Usually, midnight is a time when I'd be rethinking all my worries and doubts about my relationship with the Lord. But God's love is STRONG. It carries me.
"The one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." 1 John 4:4
God is faithful. He loves me. His grace redeems me. His grace I freely receive and I am heartbroken for my sins against God, however, I am forgiven! God has given me a new and clean heart, and I re-dedicate my life to God, this day April 15, 2013. I stood up in a crowd of hundreds of people to proclaim that I am trusting God through my trial. Right now, in April, the man of my dreams is away from me, but this is a blessing in disguise. God's mercy and God's faithfulness has never been more real in my life than it is right now. And I've never trusted God more than I do now, with all that I have and all that I am. I'm laying down my life for Christ and walking away. I leave all my baggage at His feet and I'm walking away in glory, that I share only because my Heavenly Father loves me as His daughter. When things get really tough, when I've got nothing more to give, God's grace will sustain me and God is the reason I do all that I do, to please Him.
Turn trials into smiles
Turn pain into praise.
I trust God, for whatever is to come, it's His will I'm seeking, not my own. And I'm praying, praying, and praying. I have faith that God put Greg into my life so that we may seek God's will together. Greg has given me nothing but joy and love, despite what others think. I am thankful for Greg because he challenges me, and he pushes me to be myself. I couldn't imagine my life without him. He's God's second greatest gift to me, and I'm in love with him, thanking God for a godly man to walk beside in life. The name Gregory means watchful, always looking for Jesus. I only live for an audience of One, and I live to only please God. God's grace has never been greater and his joy is more evident in my heart right now as I'm praising Him through our trial :)
His grace sustains me, it's all I need.
May the peace of Christ be in you all.
