Take A Do Over, But Do It Differently



…..But God

Watercolor by Candace Huffmaster



We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God; those whom he has called according to his plan.   Romans 8:28 GW

We know that God did not create us to be weighed down by fear and doubt; He created us for good things!  All He asks of us is to take a chance, cast down all false imagination and believe He will under gird ALL success.  Not because of how faithful we are, because of how faithful He is.  Not because of our great abilities, but because He has a desire to be seen in our weaknesses as we show our confidence in Him to step out even when we know we will probably flail. 

The next time you think, “But I’m not smart enough, skilled enough, well known enough…..”, remember, "But God IS!" So take a do over.  This time allow it be a new thing He’s doing in you; He will be honored!

Kisses to you all,

Candace

Foresight

Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him. Isaiah 64:4

Some days seem long. Even longer are the days we are waiting for things to change. During such times God’s faithfulness has always encouraged me.  As I would sit with Him, read, relate and pray, He would give me strength.  Time and again, He walked me through circumstances proving that I did not need to pray for things or people to be different to be at peace. His largest concern was that I accept his gifts and believe I needed Him more than anything I could hear, see, touch or smell, in order to could keep my peace.

Without some of those, seemingly, immovable obstacles I would not have experienced the depths of His faithfulness.  Without those deep experiences, I would not have had the stamina to rise above the challenges.  Through these challenges my eyesight expanded, and I received insight.  As my vision corrected my perceptions of situations and people were no longer distorted by fear, but perfected in love. 

I’m sure there are obstacles down my road.  But, in Him I trust I will see these object as they are, opportunities: to see better, view greater expanses and envision new things which alone would be beyond my comprehension.

.........But God

Hello,

I know I must seem like a stranger after being gone for 5 days!  Thinking I had strep, I went to the doctor, but the results came back negative.  Whatever this ugliness is, it has been sticking close by for almost a week now.  That being said, the other reason I have been amiss was due to an exhibit coming up.  I finally completed the pieces and am back on track with editing all my notes for our daily writing =D

While we are thinking about our story lines think about this:
