Philippians 2:13 "For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose."
I have mentioned before that I like to crochet, not that I have any skill or training, but I do enjoy it. I am currently working on a project that is going to take me quite a while. I had already devoted several hours to it when I realized that it was not shaping up the way I wanted it to. So, what did I do? I pulled it all out and rolled the yarn back up into a very large ball. It was a bit if a bummer, but I want my project to come out well. After all, from the first stitch to the final one it is a work in progress. I can start and restart as many times as I need to.
I got to thinking about how many times I have been unraveled by situations and my own choices, and how many times God loops the parts of my life back together. He keeps working on me and working on me, and although I will never be perfect, He will never stop refining me. I am so blessed to have the Creator of the Universe love me so much that He will pull out what is not in the shape of His will for my life and knit (or crochet) me back together. I am a work in progress that is fully in His hands.
Ephesians 2:10 "We are God's Masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus so we can do the good things he planned for us to do long ago."

I love this analogy Lehann because it is so true!! Every time we think we are unraveling or better yet, falling apart, he always ALWAYS find a way to put us back together!!! Thank you for this beautiful thought today!!!
