There Is Nothing Greater Than Grace

And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.  2 John 1:6



On October 30, 2011 churches across Atlanta celebrated Breast Cancer Awareness Month by participating in Worship in Pink Sunday, hosted by the Komen Atlanta Affiliate.  The main purpose of WIP was to wear pink, spread awareness, and remember those who have fought and those who are fighting breast cancer.


I was very excited that my church was able to participate.  Pastor Phil and Ms. Eva have been a wonderful support to me on my journey.  My boys just love them too.  The members of Grace have made me and the boys feel so welcome and they have prayed for us all.  The Sunday, before my walk, I was able to give my testimony and invite the member to wear pink.  (A video of my testimony is located here on my blog.)  On WIP Sunday, we wore pink and I was able to hand out a thank you gift to the ladies of the church with a WIP Bible bookmark and awareness information on breast cancer (all provided by Komen Atlanta).  I even found out that there were several members that are survivors. 



Thank you, Pastor Phil, Ms. Eva, and church family!  Your prayers were felt as I was walking and I know that God was walking with me too.  Your love, encouragement, and support mean so much to me and my family.  I am thankful for each and every one of you and pray that God will continue to bless you all.  There is nothing greater than Grace!


"Don't lose hope, don't let go, don't give up, you are not alone.
There is no valley, there is no darkness, there is no sorrow greater than the grace of Jesus.
There is no moment, there is no distance, there is no heartbreak,
He can't take you through.So before you think that you're too lost to save...Remember there is nothing greater than grace." 
~ Point of Grace

Thank you Lord for blessing me with truly amazing friends and family and allowing me the opportunity to walk, spread awareness, and to share your love.  Thank you for carrying me the distance and walking with me through this journey called life.  There is nothing greater than Your grace!  I am proud to be your child.  I pray that one day a cure is found for all cancer.  Thank you for allowing me to contribute in a small way to finding that cure.
