Beginning

I've decided to start this online journal as a way for me to put my thoughts in writing.  I don't plan on responding to comments, so if you really want to communicate with me send me an e-mail.  The blog title comes from two of my favorite scriptures.  The first has become my daily mantra of late because I've found myself stressed out about things I can't control.  It is found in Proverbs, Chapter 3, verses 5 and 6: 

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him and He shall direct they paths.  

I committed this one to memory over two decades ago as I realized that it meant a lot to me.  I have difficulty NOT depending too much on my own understanding.  I have a hard time just trusting God.  Grace is a word that I discovered happily during my 20s and have come to rely more and more on it each day.  I have to remind myself that "His grace is sufficient" when I seem to make  the same mistakes over and over.
