I realize it is not always easy to read what I write, but I want you to know that for me, it is not always easy to write what you read. When I write, I try to be as open, real and genuine as I can, and because of that, there have been people who value and care about me that have told me that they are worried about me. My response is, “Don’t worry about anything but please, please pray about everything.” As I was reading, I came across a verse that I feel like was written for me by the hand of God found in *Isaiah 48:10 Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.* Some know a few of the challenges that my family and I face on a regular basis, and see how much of it has been laid upon my shoulders. I have come to understand that this is the life that I have been given to live. One that is not glorious as the world would see it, but glorious in a way that has eternal value for future generations of my family and those I interact with on a regular basis. I have prayed fervently, intentionally over what is written in *Romans 9:20 On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers [arrogantly] back to God and dares to defy Him? Will the thing which is formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 Does the potter not have the right over the clay, to make from the same lump [of clay] one object for honorable use [something beautiful or distinctive] and another for common use [something ordinary or menial]? *The work that God has given me to do may be considered by others to be Common, Ordinary, Menial, and what I do behind the scenes may be unaware of by anyone else but God, and at times overwhelming and heart breaking, but it is what I believe God has given me to do. In doing whatever is set before me, no matter how lowly it may be, I consider it a great honor and privilege to do anything for the Lord of lords, and the King of kings. Corrie ten Boom said, “You see, a potter can only mold the clay when it lies completely in his hand. It requires complete surrender.” May God continue to give me strength to live in complete surrender to His will, may His will not mine be done for my life and may I have peace in it, Amen. May the Lord Jesus, our hope, bless you all my beloved.
