I am Certain..... June 15, 2007


How many things have I picked up- or started and never finished them?

-Sewing machine- New in closet from Christmas 2005
-Scrapbook supplies and no pages complete
-Wooden letters waiting to be altered in closet
-The begging of a poem
-My girls baby books (oh my)
-The first half of Passport Kids newsletter due June 1st sitting in my computer

and the list goes on an on and on....

Philippians 1:6 (Amplified Bible)


6And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you.

Philippians 1:6 (New Living Translation)
New Living Translation (NLT)


6 And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.

Guess what-

You are a work in progress...but even more amazing - HE started that work
If you stay PLIABLE in his hands- HE is going to finish it.

Quit taking yourself off of the potters wheel and let him make something remarkable out of you!!

HE has a plan
HE has his timing
HE knows what he is doing

And when he is done...What a great thing you will have become- but in the journey- be used, be real, knowing that when you cross the finish line HE will have completed that work in you!!

And still I struggle with the idea that I can "finish me" better than He can. ugh. Humans!
