I feel like clay in His hands

You should know that it is really hard for me to focus on anything while listening to Jenn Johnson! All my heart wants to do is worship. I envision singing this music to God while sitting around His Throne one day in heaven!! Here is the song I am currently listening to:

 Oh and to make matters worse much better it was 70 degrees when I woke up this morning. I immediately lit up the apple cider candles and opened the windows! Glorious! To top it off, on the way back from the park I stopped and got ingredients for this!

 Ok, now back to why I really got on the blog today! :) Can I just say that I am super thankful that I serve a God who cares enough about me not to let me stay where I am. I may have said this before, but I just can't be more grateful for how God continues to push me. I feel like clay in His hands.

I've had a recent breakthrough (that will be followed by many more, I'm sure!). Isaiah 41:9b says, "For I have chosen you Bobbie and I will not throw you away." Yup... it sure does say Bobbie! :) Then in Jeremiah 1:5 it says, "Before I made you in your mother's womb, I chose you Bobbie. Before you were born, I set you apart for a special work." Realizing that God chose ME is huge. He has a special work JUST for me. No one else can do the things he set in place for me to do.

You know what? God chose you too! If you haven't responded, he's waiting. He has a special work just for you too, and guess what? No one else can fulfill that except you! Just like the song above says:

Come to me, I’m all you need
Come to me, I’m everything

I'm beginning to accept my self for who God made me to be. I want to LOVE who God made me to be. It's a work in progress. I'm choosing to press forward even though I know it can be ugly sometimes.

Romans 12:2 says, "Be transformed by the renewing of your mind." I'm getting rid of my old way of thinking about myself and replacing it with a new way of thinking!

I love that 2 Timothy 1:7 says, "God has not given Bobbie a spirit of fear, but of POWER, LOVE, and SELF-DISCIPLINE! God has given me power NOT fear. I plan on using it! How about you?

I will leave you with this short paragraph I got from an online article written by Terri Savelle Foy:
"I love the story in the Bible where Jesus told the disciples, "Gather up the fragments so that nothing be wasted." You may think that your past was nothing but a fragmented waste! All those years were wasted. Your childhood was wasted. Your marriage was a waste! God is saying, "Gather up those fragments that nothing be wasted." He chose you with your past, your weaknesses, your temptations, your struggles." 

A special to thanks to those on this journey with me. I love you each and every one of you!
