Ephesians 2:8,9

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

This is something I normally accept, partially due to my own laziness- it would be so much work trying to constantly be doing great things that would allow me to be accepted by God. Yet, I guess normally I believe I deserve grace, you know, just for being my sinful self.

Yesterday I looked at my marks for my classes. I saw that in one class I received an A. I was really excited as that meant I received an A+ on the paper, as before I only had a B+. In the grocery line I remembered that wasn't the right name of the course. I actually received an A for a class that I thought I failed the term paper, as I had written it in a day, it didn't really have a thesis, and hyperventilating caused me to stop writing a conclusion and it was worth half my grade. I prayed for days that something would happen to allow me to still do well, but eventually I had to stop, as worrying about it when I was unable to do anything was very depressing.
Yet God fixed the situation, and I received something I didn't deserve.
All of yesterday I wandered and wondered in awe of what happen. I didn't deserve to be blessed like that. Yet, I have received salvation by grace, and I never have been so amazed and confused and thankful all at the same time.
I am really thankful.

Also. I watched Prince Caspian yesterday. Having never read the Narnia series, I am freed to enjoy the movies for what they are. I liked it, I enjoyed the part where Aslan caused trees and water, and other nature products to fight. It was cool to remember what God can actually do.

Happy Christmas!
