By HIS Grace

When I grab those moments to really reflect on all that the Lord has done and given me, I am brought to my knees every time to a prostrate position of humbleness and gratitude.  Long before I decided to walk with the Lord, He was there; being a father, providing for me and keeping me safe in His arms.  When I made the decision to not be a victim of life, I learned how to take responsibility, not for the things that others did to me, but for my reaction to those things.  I didn't always know how to do that, but I was determine to not let life have its way with me, but rather me have my way with life; enjoying it, experiencing it and living in it (and not dead to it).  The Lord has given me so much, not just tangible and financial blessings, those things can become temporary. What He has done and what He has given, no human-being or job can give. The one opportunity that He provides is far better than any other opportunity that I have had...the opportunity for a better life.  With
