At times God brings very unexpected and undeserved blessings in our lives. This recently happened to me. In October I was given the Trophy of Grace award at the Free Grace Alliance National Conference held in Dallas, Texas. FGA describes the award as an annual award to honor faithful leaders who have championed the Gospel of grace in their sphere of influence and have done so in a firm but gracious manner.

I am humbled by their kindness to me. And so grateful for God's grace that has transformed my life, bringing love, hope, and peace when I had none. God took me when I could not even speak and be understood and enabled me to be used by Him to share His amazing message of grace.
