...and she does it through grace.

"What am I doing here?" What am I doing here?"
I have been asking myself that the last week. The other day we had to put on a little skit at school and I was the lazy servant in the story of the Faithful servants. Someone made the comment that I am,"really good at being bad." WHAT? I thought that I was doing good. I was loving the Lord, going to Bible study, helping at the homeless shelter, and going to church. I thought that I was on the right path. Then I came here and I feel so lost. I do not know all the songs, verses, and stories. I can not put on a half an hour skit about Jesus at a drop of a hat, led Sunday school, or devotions.
Do I need all those things? Am I a good Christian? What does that even mean?
I have been reading The Shack again and have been really thinking. Jesus in the book says to Mack about God,
"Only Papa can work all this out, and she does it with grace."
No matter what I do or do not do, it is through grace that I am saved!
So, What am I doing here?
I am trying to love these boys to the best of my ability as Jesus mold and changes me.
