If we say we trust God but are not willing to wait--if we say we trust God and then come up with plans to "help Him along"--if we say we trust God and are still stressed by situations or relationships--then we really need to ask ourselves if what we say is true. Do we really trust God? Those are the thoughts I pulled out of my reading time this morning. So very convicting. I cannot go back and change my past but I can change how I proceed in the future. He has a lot of work left to do in me.
I wish I could see the progress He is making as clearly as I see the progress in my quilts. I completed two more blocks in the Petals of my Heart quilt. There are a lot of details in some of these blocks. I love how I look at the fabric and try to decide the best place to cut out the shapes, and then to see how they all fit together to create a picture. It is kind of like how I see God working on me. It involves a lot of patience and careful attention to detail. Taking a little bit of this and that and putting it together in the form of me.

I hope that I will more and more resemble Christ so that when people look at me they think of Him just as when I look at these quilt blocks I think about the real flowers (and critters) they represent. We both have a lot of work left to do.
