So, I started my blog, but now I want to take a few minutes to tell you a little bit more of why I started this blog. As you can imagine the name of my blog is a very important key as to why I started this blog:
Ecclesiastes 3:11 says: "He hath made everything beautiful in His time: also He hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end." I love the fact that God is making everything beautiful! But, I must remember it is in His time. One of the things that I know God is making into something beautiful is my life! Now, does that mean I will be drop dead gorgeous someday? No (although a girl can dream!), it means that God is taking my life and making it into a beautiful masterpiece for Himself-to bring honor and glory to Him! Just as a potter works the clay into a beautiful masterpiece, God is working in my life.
As God works, like that clay, it starts off as something ugly, but through pressure and shaping and molding my life will become a useful, beautiful vessel for Him. Now, to some people a vessel may not be seen as something beautiful. Something useful - sure, but beautiful - not necessarily. But, to the artist it is a useful and beautiful masterpiece!
I have recently become aware of just how far God has brought me. I have learned so many things and am still learning through my husband, my children, my church, my friends, my family and so many other avenues. I thought that I needed to be recording these things to look back on. So, as I go through all the ups and downs and pressures of life I want to share them on here so that you can join me in seeing the masterpiece, the beautiful work of art God is creating in and through my life! And, hopefully, it will bring honor and glory to His name! Now, wouldn't that be beautiful?
