He works in the most amazing ways. I was just looking to add a simple pennant banner to the kitchen window for Easter,........
and He used my little project to show me something beautiful.
I started with a bunch of crayons - crayons in the colors of green and blue.
They were stripped down and broken......
they were beaten and smashed.
They were pressed and stressed under the most extreme circumstances,
but through the cross.......
they were reborn into something beautiful.
He meets me where I am, picks me up and leads me. He uses the smallest most random things to show me what I need to see. I'm so blessed by the cross and by all that Easter represents.
