Word Of the Year: Grace



That's my word of the year, Grace. 
Grace when I feel overwhelmed, grace when I've had a crappy day, and so on. Most importantly grace from a loving, perfect, God who will never leave my side. No matter what pain I may face or how overwhelmed I feel, or how far away I run from him. He is always there to offer me grace. 

2nd Corinthians 12:9 is a great reminder that his grace is sufficient for us. I love the message version of this verse which says: "My grace is enough; it’s all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness." It's a reminder that we don't always have to get it right, yet he still loves us. His grace is enough, it's all you need- that resonates with me so much, and reminds me that it's all I need to get through the day. 

So this year I want to daily be reminded of his grace and love for me each and every day. I want to remember that he still loves me even when I think I failed. "His Grace is enough" And nothing can separate me from that. 


 Last but not least, I've asked my beachview ad sponsors Madison and Jessica to share their goals for their blogs in 2015. 

 

My blog is a faith based lifestyle blog, which means I talk about what's going on in my life through the lens of my faith! It's such an amazing creative outlet for me! Some goals I have are to launch some new types of posts and to focus on growing my readerships and making genuine connections through my blog!

Originally, I started The Artsy Cajun to share my travel posts to friends and family. We traveled to 17 countries in 38 days, and that's quite a bit of info and pictures to have to email! I'm still working on finishing up those posts of our trip, but now the blog has morphed into me sharing recipes, craft DIY's, and just life in general. I have tons of goals for 2015! Organizing my schedule so I have equal time to put into TheArtsyCajun.com as well as PrayerfulBloggers.com. I also want to start on getting my Theology degree, and my Mr. and I have started buying camping gear so we can just unplug and spend time together in nature every other weekend. I believe 2015 is going to be an exciting year!

    I love it!
    I was just thinking about the idea of God's grace yesterday. It is so comforting to know that we serve a God that gives grace DAILY, and not just when He feels like it.
    Each day is new, and a chance to live in freedom and joy.


    Thanks for sharing!

The Wetherills Say I Do | Guest Post

Founders Note: Today on the blog we have one of our August sponsors Madison of The Wetherills Say I Do . She is also one of my blogging friends, I have enjoyed working with her this month and am excited to continue in the future, she is a sweet girl with a big heart for others and Jesus! Today She is sharing her heart on this months theme: Beauty in the Brokenness. So be sure to check out her blog at the links below! If you've ever heard a group of people share their testimonies, a lot of them have a common thread: brokenness. A lot of now believers had to come to a very low point in their lives before they had their breaking moment of calling out to Jesus. Have you ever wondered why that is? Why is it that so many of us have to hit rock bottom before we'll realize our infinite need for a Savior? I don't know the answer to that question, but I do know that in my darkest moments, I've seen the Lord hand out grace and turn brokenness into beauty. We all tend t...

Finding Comfort in the "Waiting Room"

Founders Note: Today's post is written by our new friend Brooke. Her blog is called "Living as a Single Gal". (you can find the link below) We've just discovered Brooke's blog and we look forward to unwrapping more of the great wisdom she has to share. Without further ado, here is her post... Imagine, if you will, that you are in a waiting room. The room is crowded; people standing, people on chairs, people sitting on the floor; this room is totally packed full. And all of these people are waiting. Waiting for what you may ask? That’s simple; love. You are standing in a corner with some of your girlfriends having some laughs. Then one of them gets called out of the room. Then another. Then another; another one bites the dust. One by one all of your single girlfriends are leaving the waiting room and finding true love. Not only are your friends leaving you, but the rest room seems to empty out significantly. And then there’s you. --...
