Bubble, Bubble, Toil & Trouble
Bubble. Bubble. My sin continues to bubble up around me and pop right in my face. It is as if God is intentionally revealing each and every sin of mine. If I miss something, He doesn't hesitate to place a reminder squarely in my path. Self-centeredness, pride, bitterness, self-centeredness, foolishness, lack of faith; oh, and did I mention self-centeredness??
May I seek His face and His healing and try to keep my mouth shut. Can anyone relate?
Yes, I warped Shakespeare there for the sake of an appropriate title. However, I do love the bard; no harm meant, Mr. Shakespeare.

There is goodness in God's sifting, yes? The sermon this morning was right on in that area for me dealing with these sins, and several others. I loved what the pastor said about what remains after the shake-down... the unshakable, rock-solid faith.
My prayer for all of us is to endure the sifting and come out with that unwavering faith that can move others. Meanwhile, I'll try to shun the invite to my own pity party.
Love ya Liz. The cake was wonderful, by the way. And thanks for helping with the set-up!
