Simply What???

So, today begins our blog. Let’s start with a little of “Who is Simply Grace?”

We are a group of women who are imperfect and messy and emotional. We need Christ to save us from the mess we make of ourselves. Everyday we walk in that understanding, fully aware of how imperfect we are. Everyday we thank Him for His grace. Isn't that what it's all about?

Or is it? Why does it at times feel as if being a Christian is more about rules, regulations, the perfect sermon, pacification and trying to maintain a righteous lifestyle? But we found things to be different. We found a freedom to fail. We found that it's about bringing the church to the broken, not the broken to the church. (Although we love our churches) We found Love. We've experienced pain, brokenness and betrayal. And in it all, we found Comfort. We are very imperfect with way too many faults. But one thing is certain, we've been shown Grace. A LOT of Grace.

And we love God. We really, really do! And we have a heart to bring that love to others... in whatever way that might be, (we're really not sure yet). We just want to love those hurting in our community, in the different ways that we've been shown love. We're not going to be fake. We're real and we need grace - lots of it. But that is really what it's about to us.... simply, Grace. And we can't wait to see what God has for this (His) ministry. We’re following His lead, and trusting in His provisions.
