While I'm not one to pretend to have retained the entire message poured out on Sunday, the following two statements made me feel........well, free.
Free to live and love. But more than that, it made me feel so very thankful for God's grace.
- While God does not treat sin lightly, God is not paralyzed by my past sin.
- There is more grace in Jesus Christ than there is sin in my heart.
Thank you Lord for your unfailing grace and forgiveness. For freeing up room in my heart, so that I don't miss little moments that you bless me with on a daily basis, like this
and this.

I love those sayings! Those pictures are awesome!
this was funny bc we talked about something very similar at my book club the other week (weird, I know) but one of the girls was giving her perspective on the book (the book was about forgiveness) and she said that "you can never out-sin God's grace". I have thought about grace a lot in the last couple of weeks. we are so blessed!
We are so blessed to have God's grace. And this time of year really brings that to the front of my mind. He sent his only son to die for our terrible sins. Just amazing! Great post Hollie!
AMEN! We should all enjoy and cherish each day!
well stated! this time of year it's so easy to get up tight and forget how blessed we are! awesome to remember God has set us free from our sins and forgives NO matter what!! that's awesome!!
Sweet post! Thank you for sharing it with us. Sweet precious child as well. Have a great day!! ...kiss that darling girl
I agree that it's important to recognize God in the little things as well as the big moments in life. And I love the pictures of your little girl- that new camera must be coming in handy!!
Love this post! And the pics!
Talk about crazy... the song that is on my MP3 player playing right as I was reading this... "FREE" by Steven Curtis Chapman!!!!
Great post! The first statement hit me square on the forehead.
While God does not treat sin lightly, God is not paralyzed by my past sin.
Wow. Thanks for reminding me how important forgiveness is, not only from God (glad for that!), but also for me in my interactions with friends, family, etc. I am very slow to forgive and I'm not proud of it. :( Thanks for the kick in the pants!
Great post and so true! I love it when I hear things that really tug on my heart in Church. It wakes me up!
Love the pictures, especially the one in the santa towel! So cute!!
Thanks for the reminders.. :) I really needed to read that today!
Those pictures are too cute..
And you for sure can run a marathon! :) I'm doubting my abilities as well. 26.2 miles is a LONG way.
hi! just came across your blog! your little girl is absolutely precious! :)
Great post Hollie. God's grace is very powerful and we are so lucky for that!
Love the pictures and also lvoe the pictures of you and kate and santa.. you guys always look soo stinking cute:)
Gosh, thank you for sharing...I needed to be reminded of that as well!
So true. I love it when God speaks directly to our hearts.
And the pics are just too cute!!
Where did you snag that hooded Santa towel?! It's so cute I almost want to get one to put away till I have little ones!
No matter how bad things can get sometimes it's so reassuring to know we ar forgiven and always have Him by our side.
My granny always used to tell me "If he brings ya to it he will get ya through it." I always think of this and get the warm fuzzies!
How is it even possible for a little girl to be so perfectly adorable!?!
Gosh she is CUTE! What awesome pictures!
I love how authentic you are!
I just gave you an award at my blog. If you want to play along, great. Otherwise, I just wanted to share my favorite blogs with my readers.
Those are the cutest pics! Head over to my blog. I tagged you!
Thanks Hollie for reminding us all that we aren't perfect but with His help we can make it!
I love when I have a "ligh bulb" moment in church that I can carry through with me the following week (or longer). Glad to hear you were blessed by this and what a great reminder for us all.
Great post and something we need to be reminded of daily!!
What a wonderful message. I think it's important to be reminded often.
Oh, and I love your blog! :)
So sweet and so true!

Well said! Thank you Lord for your grace and forgiveness!
He has truly blessed you with that precious little girl!
