Amazing...

Over the weekend, I had the privilege of reading a good friend's Facebook post. I known this young man for a few years and I was quite touched by his words and insight. With his permission, I've decided to share here. Way to go, sir! Success is all over you!

"I'm completely floored when I think about the grace God has shown me over the past couple years. I don't know why it has taken this long to get this out there, but I want to give God the credit for where my life is right now. The Latin phrase ex nihilo, meaning "out of nothing", is what I think of when I look back on my life. Literally from nothingness, Grace has brought me to a place of hope. I was so deceived into thinking I could find happiness in all the world had to offer and I couldn't have been more wrong; it was a dead end road. Catching just a glimpse of the hope of Jesus has saved my life. Brokenness, addiction, and pain doesn't have to be a way of life! I truly believe we weren't made to just survive, but to thrive. Look to Jesus. There is more working for you than against you." -J.R. 4/9/2016

I am ever more encouraged and empowered when I here real time narratives of God's goodness and grace in a  world currently demonstrating a propensity to dismiss
 Him. But His presence is evidentially undeniable. He is here, He is real, and He is a whole lot more than we can ever truly know on this side of eternity. I will speak of the goodness of the Lord, just like J.R., and I will give Him all of the credit and none of the blame. 
                                                                                                                                                -Shazzi

    Hello!
    ​

    I am, to put it simply, an example of God's saving grace. And for that I am truly grateful.
