His grace is sufficient.

Today was supposed to be work, homework, and a slumber party. But when I got to work this morning I looked on my locker, and I had a birthday party notification. Blah! Instead of being able to study all afternoon, I had to go back to work at 3 to work the birthday party tonight. 

I was a little bit frustrated with myself because I let myself forget that I was working this afternoon, so I came home for lunch in a pretty bad mood. When I got home, Emily and Kyle were in the front of the stairway playing with all of the Indian kids. I got out of my jeep and started walking towards the stairs. They said, are you ok? I said, "I need to pray," and then walked up the stairs.    

Roshni (our little neighbor below us) chased me up the stairs and handed me a flower and a pine-cone (yes, there are a few pine-cones in southern California). We threw the pine-cone over the balcony a few times, and then I went inside. I was so hungry, so I made a pb&j. When I was making it, I was praying, "God, I am faithful to you, please just let this party be easy."

Then I remembered the words that got me through the last set of birthday parties that I did not want to work. 

 "Your grace is enough for me."

Boom. I remembered the grace that God has poured out on my life, and my mood immediately changed from grumpy to thankful. I was so thankful for  my salvation that working a few extra hours at the end of the day was not even a big deal anymore! Heck, I will endure anything with thankfulness because I am a CHILD OF GOD! So, whatever happens in life, good or bad, I should be so stoked about it because God has lavished his grace upon me. And his grace really is enough for me. Ahhh. It is enough.
