Group homes, grace, and God

After running a group home for over three years now, I have come to the conclusion that there is not one person on the face of the earth that can survive without the grace of God. Yes, the Bible says so, too, but now I really understand it. How an individual can possibly try to solve life's hard questions and decision-making by their own intelligence is beyond me. I don't want that responsibility. I'd rather get it right the first time by following the example of Jesus Christ. He certainly had it figured out....probably because He's God, but hey....He DID experience every temptation and hurt that I have gone through on earth and equipped me with the same capacity to overcome the crap in this world by the work and filling of His Holy Spirit. I'd say that's pretty cool. How did I get all this from running a group home? Well, 12 kids + 12 crazy behaviours+ 12 parenting styles+ everything in between = life by God's grace.
