I, Joyce, commit to living a life marked by grace, available to me by my faith in Jesus Christ as Lord, who died for the forgiveness of my sins through the shedding of His blood on the cross. His death, followed by His resurrection on the third day, provided the one and only sacrifice needed for my sins.
As I live a life marked by His grace, I will strive to recognize my own sin, seeking forgiveness from the Lord, including myself and others if necessary, and readily accept God's forgiveness. I will commit to practicing forgiveness with others and myself.
In His grace, I will move forward resolving to live rightly, with right thinking based on the Scriptures, again and again. Instead of wallowing in my sin and being held captive by my guilt or pride, I will repent and live free, redeemed in Christ.
2 Corinthians 12:9
Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.
This commitment and Scripture come from extravagantgrace.net that you can find from my side bar. You will find the site very insightful and heart warming. I felt that I needed to post it here to be accountable for the words of the commitment.

Hi Joyce, It took me a while, but I finally found your site. I had to backtrack from my hit counter. The link when you put your name in doesn't link back to you.
Anyway, I'm so glad you've been over to my site to visit. I will add you to my blogroll. Hugs and blessings to you.
