... yielding to the Potter's Hands....

..so, I was not in Franklin, TN this morning, I didn't attend the Worship service Michael W Smith was leading... and, my friend posted a picture of him holding his grandson Smith... such a cute little boy...
instead, I was at my church, worshipping with my people... and He was there, and He communicated some wonderful and difficult stuff to me... I know I was meant to be there... nowhere else...
we sang a song... a song I love, we haven't sung this one in a while... that's how it goes:

Beautiful Lord, Wonderful Saviour

I know for sure, all of my days are held in your hands, crafted 

into your perfect plan

You gently call me into your presence guiding me by Your Holy Spirit

Teach me dear Lord to live all of my life through Your eyes

I'm captured by Your holy calling

Set me apart, I know you're drawing me to yourself

Lead me Lord I pray

Take me, Mold me, use me, fill me

I give my life to the Potter's hand

Call me, guide me, lead me, walk beside me

I give my life to the Potter's hand

( by Darlene Zschech )

I know for sure, all of my days are held in His hands.. crafted into His perfect plan.....

I know this, I believe this, and yet just lately with the wedding approaching I really have struggled, I guess what happened to my friend has also just brought some part of the anger back...

today I am challenged to let go of my anger and self pity, I have forgiven and I cannot take it back... I don't really want to take it back either....

I know for sure, all of my days are held in His hands.. crafted into His perfect plan.....

that is the truth... now , if I have a problem with that I have to figure that out with Him...  but who am I to question the Potter, I am just the clay, sinful and broken, He chose me to give me His spirit and the assurance of eternal life with Him... I am to serve Him with what He has given me, and share the Good News with others... that's what I am doing... I am blessed... 

His plan for my life is PERFECT...   He leads me gently... is setting me apart, walks with me and will never stop molding me and changing me....

I need to stop resisting Him.... and what He is doing... so I am here and now choosing to forgive again and let go...  nothing is more satisfying than obedience..

it was a GREAT morning at Georgetown Alliance Church... the Lord was there... I think He was pleased with our worship.....
