... 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.....

...sorry Lord for the thing I've made it....

... so staying home was the best thing to do... with my daughter all day yesterday, having the painkillers ready for her... getting her out the door for the two little kids recitals she is in today.. not sure how they / she would have made that work...
had some special times together babysitting two very precious little boys last night.. like old times when I was taking care of the older one a few days a months...so much fun!!!
the sun is shining this morning, my flowers loved the rain yesterday, all is good..
getting myself ready to go to church.. to ascribe worth to my Lord and Saviour, to show Him and everyone around that He is my All in All....

When the music fades 

And all is stripped away 

And I simply come 

Longing just to bring 

Something that's of worth 

That will bless your heart 

I'll bring You more than a song 

For a song in itself 

Is not what You have required 

You search much deeper within 

Through the ways things appear 

You're looking into my heart 

I'm coming back to the heart of worship 

And it's all about You 

All about You, Jesus 

I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it 

When it's all about You 

It's all about You Jesus 

King of endless worth 

No one could express 

How much You deserve 

Though I'm weak and poor 

All I have is Yours 

Every single breath 

I'll bring You more than just a song 

For a song in itself 

Is not what You have required 

You search much deeper within 

Through the way things appear 

You're looking into my heart 

I'm coming back to the heart of worship 

And it's all about You 

All about You, Jesus 

I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it 

When it's all about You 

It's all about You Jesus 

Its all about you 

Jesus

thankful I can go to church this morning... thankful I get to show Him how much He means to me. show Him how thankful I am for who He is, how He blesses me and that without Him I would not be able to keep on going..... because it is all about Jesus... Praise be to His name forever!
