Spring

I just love spring. My flowers are blooming & I cut my lawn for the first time this season. It looks great. I hope it continues to stay nice. We had frost over the weekend. So the mornings were chilly. Simba got her haircut so she is ready for the heat. I am still job searching. No leads yet but I'll keep you posted. I am being patient and waiting on the Lord's direction for my life. We had revival this weekend at church and I sure needed reviving. The preacher spoke of "A Trip to the Potter's House". He spoke of us being a vessel. We are a vessel, formed by God to do His work. And God gives us 2nd chances, well more than just a 2nd chance. Isn't that awesome? He doesn't throw us away like a piece of clay that a potter doesn't like. We are retreaded & revived & give more chances than we deserve. He make us new all over again if we repent. A new start. Isn't that what we all need sometimes?
I read this morning in 2 Timothy 2:20-22 about this.
Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and of earthenware, and some to honor and some to dishonor. Therefore, if anyone cleanses (asks for forgiveness) himself from these things, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work. Now flee from yuothful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those call on the Lord from a pure heart.
23-26 But refuse foolish and ignorant speculations, knowing that they produce quarrels. The Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and espace from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.

Through this time in your life your positive attitude and total dependence on the Lord has been an inspiration. I know we don't know each other but I can see through your writing that you love the Lord so much and you have the true joy and peace that the Bible speaks of.

I hope you feel my prayers. The Lord will make HIS will known in HIS time and it will be greater than anything you could imagine for yourself.

Still Praying!
