Ashes

Wow!!  The past few weeks have been a journey.   One that I am thankful for and I know it is not close to being over.   It is not one I was seeking but one that has taken over my thoughts and prayers.  One that has effected my life and marriage.  One that the Holy Spirit has placed in my life.   The Spirit wakes me up in the middle of the night, argues with me in the car, makes me step out of my comfort zone and almost pushes me to my limit.   But it is NOT about ME.  It is about what the Lord is giving me a passion for.  That is alllllll I have.  I do not have answers. I do not have a check list.  I do not have a plan.  I just have a passion and the Holy Spirit driving me.  I have fears that I will loose sight of the Holy Spirit and start doing "my own thing" or just get scared and ignore Him.  ( I would like to move our "Appointments" to a more appropriate hour instead of 3AM, that is for sure)

I am sooooooooo thankful for God's GRACE.   His GRACE has given me hope in a times when it is hard to be hopeful.  He is sooooo amazing.   He will turn these ashes into something so beautiful.  I know He will.   Satan will not win this big battle.  I pray that Satan does not destroy those in his way though.
What I struggle with is the ashes.   The Ashes are someone's pain, suffering, etc.  I want to pick up these ashes and put them back and make everything better.  ONLY GOD CAN.
