So, I don't know if there is anyone else out there that has read just the right scripture at the right time that ministered so completely to the spirit's need. A fresh passage. God's word spoken right to His beloved child. This was s how it was with me yesterday morning.
"And the Lord will continually guide you, and satisfy your desire in scorched places, and give strength to your bones; and you will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters do not fail."
Isaiah 58:11
Wow. If only you knew how desperately my weary spirit needed to hear that.
However... to fully experience God's rest, I had to surrender what was keeping me from it.
Anger. Disappointment. Bitterness even. I had let those emotions master me for a time. I had to consciously choose to surrender all of that over to God and let forgiveness take its place. Where there once was overwhelmingly intensity... now there is peace.

clay in progress
Whew!! What an intense week and a half!! So much to write about but I couldn't with all the intense emotions going on while I was in the midst of it all.
I just read this a few minutes ago on a blog that I'm following:
Who can delight in a work in progress, except for it’s creator, who clearly sees the vision of what it will become?
-Matt (from the band Sanctus Real)
