Happy Friday! Here are some highlights of my week pictured below!
Liza found a cozy place to nap against my Vera Bradley bag; what’s cuter than a cat striking a pose?!
A dear missionary friend of our always says, “God loves to surprise us.” How true, according to Jeremiah 33:3 – Call unto Me and I will answer thee and show thee great and mighty things which ye know not. Last Sunday our daughter and son-in-law announced that they believe God’s will for them right now is to pursue foster-parenting. As an answer to their prayers, this is the direction God has led them. We couldn’t be happier for them or the precious children they will love on.
Here they are sharing their hearts last Sunday. How grateful I am for people who have encouraged them as they take this step towards obedience!
As the pretty picture my neighbor boy colored for me says, He makes all things beautiful in His own time! We look forward to all that God has in store for them!
Last spring I attended a Ladies’ Prayer Advance that literally has changed my world. This weekend my husband and I are privileged to be attending a Couple’s Prayer Advance – our first ever. He’s participating in some of the ministry part, but we are excited to be here to learn and grow and change and PRAY! It’s held in Pigeon Forge, so we are enjoying the beauty of the mountains and their colors!
When we are in Pigeon forge, we love eating at a restaurant, The Pottery Cafe’. Their food is great and they serve all their meals on pottery made next door. We love going to the pottery shop and watching the potter making the clay into beautiful dishes. It’s amazing, and such a reminder of what God wants to do to me each day. My heart must remain soft and pliable if I am to be what the Potter designs.
Beauty, Prayer, Molding and shaping, and God’s timing – that’s what my week has held. I’m so grateful for the Lord using the day-to-day events and happenings to teach me and prepare me for His will.
Even as we look towards next week and the election of our president, let’s remind ourselves that a sovereign God is in control and He is preparing and providing in His time and His way. We can trust Him!
Stay refreshed,
