I put in yesterday’s entry about my need to go to the airport in the morning. I spent 1.5 hours shoveling snow just to clear the sidewalk and the entrance to our garage. Kathy’s sis’s car was piled with snow so I also needed to get it ready so they could leave as soon as we got back to the house. All of this went smoothly. We hadn’t been home only about 15 minutes when Kathy said someone was outside. I looked out to see our neighbor from across the road in our driveway with his tractor. He was clearing our entire drive. Wow, what a nice man! We then went to our friend’s home to be with our loved one who is closer to heaven than here. We joined another couple and sang hymns that our friend had requested. 

As I journaled this morning I was reminded that God wants to use you and me for HIs glorious purposes. He wants us to ask Him how He wants us to invest our lives? I use to think I needed to invest myself in doing God’s work through the church so I could hopefully earn His favor so He’d take away the memories of my past as well as the temptations that haunted me in the present. I write about this often, but then God wants me, compels me, to write this so any reader who may struggle similarly can know God will use you just as He does me if you will let Him. Taking the step of faith is SO difficult, but SO WORTH IT! God has a plan for you just as He does for me. “Let Him have His way with thee.”
