CHOOSE GRACE

For Christians, "under grace" is the best life choice. The place to be.
Pastor Cole continues to remind us that God desires progress NOT perfection in our Christian Walk. So.....why don't we seek grace not perfection as Emily Ley's 2016 title, coupled with God's word, implores us. (Ephesians 2:8)
Young women, juggling careers and motherhood, would especially appreciate the encouragement in this book to embrace simplicity and celebrate joy.
  • Here's the thing about doing it all: even if you can do it all, no one can do it all WELL. (p.13 )
  • I will hold myself to a standard of GRACE not perfection. (p.16) 
  • Sometimes the problem isn'a our organizational skills; it's our abundance of things. (p.45)
  • You don't need a Pinterest-perfect home; you need a home that works for you and makes you feel ALIVE. ( 55)
  • We're more likely to lose our patience with our loved ones when we carry the weight of stress on our shoulders. (p.135)
  • Grace and Gratitude go hand in hand. (p. 151)
Even this "old granny" found some "grace gems" worthy of choosing.
