Cleaning out the Closet

This weekend I tried something new. And it was good.

I just started reading this book called "Set Apart Femininity" (don't ask me to say femininity, because I really can't). Half way through the first or second chapter, the author suggests visiting a website and going through a step-by-step cleaning out process. Ok cool. So I get on the website and get started....and I think it changed my life.

The whole idea of this process was to answer a series of questions that led you to evaluate and discover all those little sins in your life that you overlook every single day - the sins you sweep into the closet and pretend aren't there. The sins that you haven't addressed in so long you've forgotten about them. The sins that you didn't even realize were sins.

Lets just say, my idea of who I was and what I had going for me drastically changed this weekend. I now know its true that to have a great view of God's grace, I must have a realistic view of self. I can truly appreciate His grace when I realize the sinful state I'm in. And boy am I at an awfully low state.

Thank you, Lord, for your abundant, undeserved, and most beautiful grace.
