His Grace IS enough.

I just wanted to share, for me a song that first made me want to name our little girl Grace. Some of you know what we have been going through in the months leading up to Grace's birth and Grace growing inside of my womb always felt like a gentle reminder to trust in Him and he will sustain us. My cousin also wrote to me in the begining of my pregnancy that she hopes our new blessing will give us the grace we needed to make it through our transition from the Navy to civilian life, one of our challenges at the time. Grace always seemed to fit her from the day we knew about her, even before we knew she was a girl. She is very special and there's not a doubt that God is with her always. i just wanted to add, it's this song because we had some particularly  hard times when Adam was lookiung for a job. Here we were used to a certain qualityof life in the navy and now he had NO job and not really one in sight, 3 kids and one on the way. What were  we going to do? We fought, we cried we just werent dealing the way we should have. We werent leaning on the Lord. We went to church one Sunday and we had been fighting. i was so mad sititng there in church. Not giving to the lord at all. Thinking of all the things, we didnt have that we SHOULD, that by gollly, we DESERVED. hadnt he worked so hard and sacrificed so much in the Navy. Hadnt our family been through enough. etc etc. It was just not good then. Well then this song started. I was very early in my pregnancy, just at the end of the first trimester. I hadnt felt alot of  movement, but during this song, my baby started moving, I could feel her/him (didnt know_ and as I'm feeling movement Im hearing "your grace is enough" and it felt like He was using her to show me, LISTEN TO ME, FEEL THIS, I LOVE YOU.


Great is Your faithfulness oh God
You wrestle with the sinner's heart
You lead us by still waters in to mercy
And nothing can keep us apart

So remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise
Oh God

Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me

Great is Your love and justice God of Jacob
You use the weak to lead the strong
You lead us in the song of Your salvation
And all Your people sing along

So remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise
Oh God

Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me [x2]

So remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise
Oh God

Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me

Your grace is enough
Heaven reaching down to us
Your grace is enough for me
God I see your grace is enough
I'm covered in your love
Your grace is enough for me
For me
