Introduction	My life is messy. It is cluttered. It is jumbled up so much some days that I can't find the beginning from the end. I try hard but I often fail. At times my best doesn't feel good enough. And then... I remember. I am not my own. I am His. And because I am His, I am constantly covered in His grace. He is pruning me, sometimes even cutting off the things that don't belong. In fact, He is doing that a lot lately. A good friend once told me that I was the most "real" person she had ever met. Real. And that truly is the only word that seems to come close. So what do I want more than anything to accomplish here? On these pages... and in my life? Authenticity. Because one day I am going to be standing before my God... before my King... and to be quite honest... I don't want to have to pretend. It wouldn't matter, He sees it all anyway. If I can live my life for Him, honestly, authentically, REAL... then I have accomplished what I have set out to do. This is a life worth living. He created us to live it. For Him. For His glory alone. ~melissa
