At Grace Covers Me today… {Letter to myself}

It was a cold, dark, January day when I found The Church-Planting Wife sitting there on my kitchen counter. 

We were at our 6-month mark of church-planting adventure, and Jeff had purchased the special book for me. The timing was perfect. I cried my way through the first few chapters, thinking, “Finally! Someone who really understands!” Her words were truth, life, hope. They  were truly covered in grace. This wasn’t a pep talk telling me to do more, be more, achieve more. These words were like a warm blanket, reminding me of God’s extravagant love and grace and inspiring me to trust Him more and more. I found myself thanking God for Christine Hoover and praying God would bless her for her sacrifice of time and energy to write that book.

And so imagine my joy at the great privilege of sharing a few words over on Christine’s site, Grace Covers Me, today.

Especially because that so perfectly sums up what this past five years have been about–learning that grace covers me. And so, with this simple sacred phrase in mind, I share again this letter to myself. I’d be so honored if you’d join us over here and let grace cover you today…  Thanks for reading.
