ONLY BY GRACE

What a trip it was! Despite shortening the trip from 10days to 7days, resulting in me paying an extra $780 (airfare), I never once felt I was shortchanged throughout the one week in Turkey. From having a luxurious car to be driven around with, a very experienced & knowledgable guide and awesome weather, every of our needs (& wants occasionall) were all met. I know the Big Daddy had things all planned out and all things work out beautifully...in His time. First Leg - Cappadocia (14-15 Dec) The highlight has gotta be the hot-air balloon tour. Prior to the trip, it was an option we left open but when the guide told us that the weather has been wonderful and he could charge us at a lower price (US$150 instead of the usual US$200), we said "YES". Boy... were we glad we went ahead with it. The experience was just unspeakably wonderful. It was so surreal to be up in a balloon amidst the azure blue sky and taking shots from an aerial view, a scene which is typically replicate...

The very reason why we can celebrate Christmas. All because of One. Blessed Christmas world! :) "Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all." - Isaiah 53:4-6

If Not For Your Grace..... I would have been blind to such beauties. I would not have crossed paths with a whole lot of amazingly crazy people! I would not have been loved by many and be able to love many in return. As the song goes: Where would I be If not for your grace Carrying me through every season Where would I be If not for Your grace Came to rescue me And I want to thank You For Your graceGrace that restores Grace that redeems Grace that releases Me to worship Grace that repairs Visions and dreams Grace that releases Miracles Truly truly..where would I be...if not for His grace.
