Beautiful Imperfection

I left for vacation a week ago and I've been immersed with beautiful imperfection ever since. To be honest, in the beginning it was not pretty. My view of the situation was not clear at all. After all it was my vacation. I waited all year to get away, so why shouldn't it be perfect. It took me a few days to get over me. To see beyond my selfish ideals.

By mid week I was starting to see a pattern develop. Nothing I had planned was as I thought it would be. But I was witnessing and participating in some amazing experiences. The troubles, interferences, letdowns, disappointments were producing some beautiful consequences.

This stick of clay can get downright edgy with the potter at times [Jeremiah 18:5-7]. But I love what He's taught me this week. I'll be waking with eyes wide open tomorrow... waiting to see the next beautiful imperfection.
