Praying for God to make a way where there seems to be no way…

Dianne,
No, we just grow fat, and I think I resemble that. ;)

I know God is faithful, so I know there will be amazing testimonies to add to the ones we already have.

Dana,
I giggled at your use of most funnest. I haven’t heard/read that in awhile. Now my brain is going all English grammar-like. ;)

No, the next few months (Dare I say years?) might not be the funnest, but they will be full of growing, and the hand of Providence will be seen clearly.

That analogy is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing it. And thank you for your friendship and prayers.

Yeah, that completing His work within us is not always the most funnest part of being Christian. Wonderful post, Renae, and I do pray it gets easier.

I heard a beautiful analogy to God’s work once that I think about sometimes when I get frustrated. God is creating a beautiful tapestry with our lives.

Right now, we are stuck looking at the bottom which appears as thousands of loose and knotted threads with only the barest hints of patterns.

But he is a fine craftsman, and some day we will see the completed work as He sees it…from the surface.
