I WANT TO BE WHAT HE WANTS ME TO BE:

I am SO thankful for a BEAUTIFUL Saturday in South Florida! I am really looking forward to Momma Besch coming down to visit at the end of the month! We already have a list a mile long of all of the projects we are looking forward to doing on the house! Dad’s not so happy about her getting on a big ladder to paint the stairwell, but I am thankful she is willing (as long as she’s safe). In preparation for all of our projects I spent the day thrifting and looking for some key pieces to finish off the guest rooms and entryway…my favorite kinda way to spend a relaxing Saturday :o)

As I was heading to church and the sun was resting low in the sky, I was reminded of God’s grace in the beauty of our clouds! TAKE A LOOK:

Church was GREAT tonight. Pastor Bob talked about Fear and how our number one fear is typically FAILURE. He outlined the message with five points:
  1. Failure is a result of serious sin – this is why you continue to strike out (pride, greed, sloth)
  2. Failure could be a chance for a 2nd chance
  3. Failure is the result of not seeing yourself in His sight – EVERYONE is useful in the hand of God!
  4. Failure is the result of DOUBTING what God has GUARANTEED (Matthew 14:31)
  5. Failure is the result of misguided TRUST
Some really great thoughts to chew on! If you are interested in the sermon, you can check it out on Calvary Chapels website HERE:What Are You Afraid Of?

I rounded out the night with starbucks and an evening walk on the pied with two of my favorite ladies! We even saw a young kid reeling in a shark! Well, time to call it a night early tonight…we’ve got a SUPERBOWL to win tomorrow! I don’t know if I’m more NERVOUS or EXCITED!!!



Where have you seen God’s grace in your life today?
