Details woven in

It has been described many, many times before that our lives are like a tapestry, each strand of the fabric is woven together so neatly and intimately by our heavenly Father. He cares for us. He cares about the details of our lives!

However, it is easy to lose sight of this when you are up to your eye balls in sports schedules and the busy-ness of life with 5 kids, a husband who coaches, a part time job, and on and on. Easy. Very easy to to forget that God walks with me every minute of every day weaving His details in to the tapestry of my life.

Until God so gently and directly points it out to me again and again.

The verse that I chose to be the theme verse for this letter writing project is Psalms 27:14, “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” It sums up the message I want to encompass every aspect of the entire project.

My husband and I have been teaching the elementary age kids at church each week with a curriculum that is purchased. Each month there is a new theme verse that we help the students learn & memorize over the course of several weeks.  Should it really have been any surprise when I read last week’s lesson only to discover what the new verse for the month of May was? Of course it is Psalms 27:14. When you serve the almighty God, you know there is no such thing as coincidences.

So, as I sit and write each letter I am overwhelmed at the thought that God cares about this project. God cares about each person that will be on the receiving end of these letters. He is weaving His mark on the details of this project so clearly already… and I am honored to be a thread in His tapestry!

Prayer: Lord, thank you that you reveal yourself to us in gentle and loving ways. I am humbled by Your willingness to invite me in to Your work being done. Use these letters to be a blessing to people, as well as the letters that others will (hopefully) be prompted to send out.
