I am happy to report that our weekend trip was full of fun and excitement. I am getting things back in order around the house so it may be a couple more days until you are reading anything of substance here at Fruit Inspection. Until then, I want to quote something I read this morning over at Proverbs 31 Ministries:
“God doesn’t see me as I am, He sees me as I can be.”
~ MaryBeth Whalen
What a relief, huh? I’ve been feeling pretty guilty lately about letting my relationship slide with the girl I am discipling. Obviously it wasn’t intentional. Life has gotten in the way. Jobs, toddlers, a new baby, husbands, choir, other commitments, etc. Even so, I should have been better about keeping in touch.
But you know, what I read this morning is true. Where I see myself as a failure, God sees me as the person just right for Haley. He knows what I am capable of teaching, even when I don’t. I think for me, it’s time to let go of the guilt and just get back into the study. Call her and let her know I’m thinking about her. Pray for her. And when the opportunity presents itself for us to meet again, lovingly open my home to her.
Thank you, Father, that you do not see me as I see myself. Help me to let go of what’s on the surface, and look deep within to the person You created me to be. Amen
