You know that God is transforming you, going through the process as a potter would...mushing the clay back into a lump to start over from scratch, when you are sitting in church and feel like He has taken hold of your shoulders and is shaking them, saying, "Can't you see! I AM sovereign. Look at how I have used this in your life! Look at what I have done! Look at what I will continue to do! Experience Me. Follow Me. Let Me be God." I am thankful for a God who is faithful, never shaken and trustworthy! I am thankful that day after day He is reigning! I am thankful that He is the potter and I am the clay. Lord, let me be clay that does not resist the work of Your hands. Let my hope be in you, remembering that You are sovereign in even the most minute, mundane details of my life. Let me be thankful for Your uncomfortable grace and the peace You provide in the midst of turmoil. Help me to develop the mind of Christ!

We have had a few quick trips to Ft. Wayne for a birthday party and basketball games. No pictures, though. As usual, the time together was enjoyed by all. Lots of pioneer play! We have been busy with violin and basketball. Still no pictures. Soon! I tried to take pictures on Saturday but my camera batteries were dead. Both kids are having a great season. They were able to stay the night with friends last night since there was no school today. They had a blast!!! And, Matt and I were able to enjoy a date! Thank you and we owe you! ;)

Whenever we need "downtime" between all of our activity, we fall back on Little House Marathons. I love that the kids love Little House! They even watched Little House at their friends' house last night.
