Cracked Pots

God works through jars of clay, or what I often call "cracked pots." This means we are flawed, so when people look at us and see amazing things happening, they know it must be God at work because it certainly could not be us. I believe anyone who really knows me does not have any difficulty realizing the work I am doing on earth today certainly must be God at work in and through me. They give Him the glory, not me, because they see my imperfections and know my limitations. God chooses the weak and foolish things on purpose so no mortal can have pretense for glorying in His presence (1 Corinthians 1:27-29).
               Imagine a pot with a lamp in it and a lid on it. Even though it may be filled with light, no one can see the light within it. Yet if the pot is cracked, the light will shine through the cracks. In this same way, God works through our imperfections.

This was in my daily devotional today and I really liked it.

Thought I'd repost it; I hope it speaks something to you.

YEAR ACCOMPLISHED

2010. All done.

Last year Jessi and I had the resolution to make blogs and post everyday.

Everyday would have a new picture so that we could improve our photography.

Everyday would tell a bit about what happened so that we would know how each other was doing

when we went separate ways to different colleges. 

I'm happy to say that neither of us missed a single day.

We used unoriginal pictures every once in a while but other than that we did quite well.

I won't stop blogging completely. I enjoy it now.

But I know I'll enjoy it even more when I have the choice of what days to post.

Thank you everyone who reads my blog.

It made it easier to keep up and keep posting to know that people are enjoying it.

A few main things about this year:

I experienced God's grace and love more than ever.

I have made lifelong friends.

I survived my first semester of college.

I still have the best family in the entire universe.

And now for 2011:

Since I managed to post everyday, I feel like there's no excuse to miss a quiet time.

My goal is to get into the bible everyday and talk with God.

I am very excited.

I hope everyone had a good year.

God bless.
