"Created For Purpose"














"You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mothers womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous-how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! and when I wake up, you are still with me." Psalm 139:13-18

God has a perfect plan and purpose for each of us, yet time and time again we question Him and drag our feet. Psalm 139 is one of my favorite scripture passages, because it reminds me of GOD's love and presence in my life.

If ever in doubt, I read and reread this passage. My heart quivers as I ponder the new adventures He has in store for each of us. Swing open the floodgates, Lord; we eagerly anticipate your good will and purpose for our lives.

By HIS mercy and in the grip of HIS grace,

Andrea

God's Beautiful Creation















"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1

As I gaze upon one form of GOD's creation I am amazed and overwhelmed. The vast ocean lay before me, waves pounding upon the dark Virginia sand. Time and time again I visit, yet my view is always uniquely beautiful. Only a divine creator could provide this unbelievable gift.

Today, the heavens open spilling tear shaped raindrops upon us, a reminder of GOD's cleansing and renewal. A day of rest, "says my Lord," a gentle reminder of His perfect plan for each of our lives.

Often we hurry, run, and aggressively push our way through each day. Not today; I am listening, Dearest Heavenly Father. I rest in your arms enjoying the beauty, cleansing, and renewal.....the perfect gift you have given me for this day.

Resting in the arms of my Heavenly Father,

Andrea
