Purpose

I am a new wife, teacher, friend, and daughter trying to find the beauty in little things and live in God's grace each day. Throughout this process of documenting my newlywed life, I hope to be vulnerable with whoever reads this and I hope to show God's love with humor and honesty. I'm just a girl who is willing share my life transparently in hopes someone else will get a glimpse of Christ's work in my life.

I'm pretty awful at cooking and I've discovered I'm not too great at keeping a house either. I can be short tempered and selfish. I can be indecisive and indifferent. But, at the end of the day, what I hope I am (and what I hope to become) is a caring wife, a nurturing teacher, and a good friend whose imperfect life reflects a perfect God.

So, why Earl Grey & Grace? Each morning, I start my day with a cup of tea and I delight in the truth that God has given me a fresh start...new grace, new mercies. I wake up each morning and I am encouraged in knowing that I don't have to be perfect and I'm allowed to make mistakes. Because of His grace, I am restored and redeemed. As for the earl grey tea, I can pretty much take it or leave it. But waking up to new beginnings in His grace---that is the only way I can start my day.
