words

words are powerful. they have the power to affect change, to reconcile a relationship, to offend an identity.

they carry weight. and i, personally, walk in ignorance of that most days.

why is it that i am so careless with my words yet i am so aware of every word spoken to me. i am often shocked of how capable i am of speaking hateful words. redeemed...but still a mess. still in need of more and more grace everyday.

grace abounds.

showing mercy, assuming the best in people.

i asked one of my favorite people in the world how they were doing yesterday...she answered..."better than I deserve"

amen to that. thank you Jesus for grace. and today.
