The Foundation of My Foundation

'Grace to me Glory to Him' is the title of this blog because in the past few months I have, for the first time, seen a glimpse of how sinful I am and how loved I am. The title comes from the Pastor of my church, Rev. Paul Kim of Renewal Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (www.renewalchurch.org). The two phrases he uses almost at every service to bring us back to the Gospel are these:

'Grace to me... Glory to God...All because of Jesus Christ.'

'We are so much more sinful than we think, but we are so much more loved than we can ever imagine.'

I don't know if he came up with these on his own, but they have been instrumental in bringing me back to the Cross. For much of the beginning of this blog, I may be recounting the experiences and thoughts I have had since moving away from my beautiful home of Charleston. Trust me, due to a lot of alone time I have a lot of them. Keeping with the theme of this blog, every entry will contain at least two components: how I messed up and how Christ fixed it. I will probably throw in a few random weird things also, because that's just who I am. My goal is to be brutally honest about the things I struggle with and what I think our culture struggles with. I hope to have the most Biblical responses to these struggles along with what Christ has done on the cross to fix everything. I am not a scholar but I am confident in the Holy Spirit and what He has revealed to me. Stay tuned...

PS: I shared the slightly disturbing and abnormal scenario for the first entry because it is totally, utterly, and completely not about anything I have done, but what He has done.
