I've learned to accept it and love it. I still make rough outlines, but God revises them for me as we work. I go wherever He takes me. God does the creative work, and I'm there for the mechanical help.<br /><br />Blessings, Susan!<br />JeanJean Fischerhttp://jeanfischer.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252285009517721143.post-59467318538753245092011-07-19T15:27:13.101-04:002011-07-19T15:27:13.101-04:00Hi Sarah -

I don't know who wrote it, but the words are powerful.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

I definitely have tried my hand at 'helping' God. I've found that He doesn't need my help! And yes, the God ideas that I've not been too keen on are the ones that humble me - reminding me that I need to stay pliable in His hands! Have a great week!
