Over the years I have come to learn that despite my constant pursuit of what I want to be or who I think that I am , Christ always interjects and corrects me. I have not allowed myself to be that pliable clay. To allow the potters hands to shape and mold my life. We trust universities to teach us, for doctors to tell us what medications to take when we are ill, yet we are not willing to allow the creator of all things to guide us to all that we should be. It is amazing how much time we waste focused on the world around us. Finding that balance between having to live here and not being a part of this world. What a wonderful thing to strive for. To do God's work while still being in this sinful world. We will fall for sure, but we will do it with God's strength and that will shine above all else.
