I feel mentally and physically exhausted right now, but with one good night sleep Ill be back in the saddle and ready to celebrate Christmas with family tomorrow...Bless Jake he took my shopping list and went grocery shopping and that is a huge help....You see this week I was asked to sing Amazing Grace at a friends celebration of Life, and to be honest I wasnt sure I had it in me to do it....But, I was Honored to be asked and boy did I work at it, remembering the lines, the tune and I put a twist on the end...When I sing this song I always want it to be sung from the heart...I needed some completion, some message to help me....I feel like I got a bit of a message today when I woke up....I had not looked or opened my Bible for over 5 years....I needed something to grasp on to about Grace, Amazing Grace...This year if you remember I named the 5th year after losing Lisa, Amazing Grace...We named our puppy Amazing Grace, I bought Amazing Grace perfume and lotion, I needed to grasp something I couldnt put my finger on...I opened the Bible to the back, to the word Grace and read different passages, nothing though that reached out to me or touched me, then a paper fell out of the Bible and I stuffed it back in and ready to close the book, the paper was bigger than the pages and I thought I would put it in the very back of the Bible, it was then I saw what the headline said Amazing Grace, the date was March19, 2000....It read God, in his grace, gives us what we cannot gain for ourselves. He accepts us without precondition or complaint. We are given significance and standing by our revelation to God. We are valued by grace, but the attention in not place on us, but on the God who loves us deeply. As I pondered the words and the meaning and on the year of Amazing Grace my thoughts went to this. In 2000 God knew where I was going to be today in 2014, he knew ahead Lisa was not going to be here, and that Skip was not either, and that is why I did not throw away that paper. Then my mind went to Lisa, and God and to Skip, who just passed away...My sense of humor was thinking a vision I pondered in my hear...God and Lisa saying to Skip, I know you are new here, your soul has just arrived, but, your mission is to try and touch, reach, or soften that heart down there, because Lisa is saying that is a tuff one...So, Skip got his friend to mention my name to sing Amazing Grace, then his wife called me, and with some hesitancy, I resisted at first, then agreed, because I was honored....It all came together and my heart felt like it got a message from Heaven, I felt blessed and honored, and now its taken a toll on my body, because it is exhausted....Sedona will miss Skip, he had a long hard battle with cancer, 5 1/2 years, his wife and little 9 year old daughter are very faithful, and strong....God Blessed our Sedona Today, and me....mom...gran
