Highs -n- Lows Living with the Disease

Another Beautiful Morning!
I woke up at 5am this morning.  I slept good but just couldn't get back to sleep...
I got up, made coffee, ate a banana and took my meds...

I can really see many changes with my mobility.  I really need help to regain my strength and get my body back into a healthier state.  As healthy as possible, anyway...  I'm looking forward to start working with the health coach and physical therapist next week...
I've been having trouble with neck pain so that will also need to be addressed...

So thankful for all I can do...

A Spiritual Pottery Lesson
Read | Isaiah 64:8

I decided to take a cue from the prophet Jeremiah, who visited a potter’s studio at the Lord’s request (Jer. 18:1-6). So I stopped by an art institute to observe a class—my sole purpose was to better understand the biblical metaphor of God as the Potter and people as the clay. Here’s what I learned when I walked into a room full of whirring pottery wheels.

The Potter has power over the clay. He can do what He chooses. We humans do have limited free will, but God’s will is greater. So even if we try to resist His sculpting hand, He continues to work toward His purpose. The master Craftsman has set out to achieve a particular design in us, and He has a plan to make it take shape.

The Potter works the clay with patience. Since God knows that spiritual maturity can’t be rushed, He forms our Christlike character slowly—one experience at a time. That means He must also have perseverance, as human clay sometimes shifts off-center and becomes misshapen. Just as clay can be fashioned only when it sits precisely in the middle of the wheel, Christians must be in the Father’s will to grow spiritually. The Potter maneuvers the drifting believer back into position and begins remolding. He never discards His vessels but tirelessly works to perfect them.

Our God is a personal Potter. Our God is a personal Potter. His creations reflect His personality and character. And His Spirit is poured into each human vessel so He can be an intimate part of our life. The result is a work of true beauty—a saint wholly committed to Him.

Looking forward to a great day...
