He makes everything beautiful in it's own time.

Life is a series of events unfolding onto the map we each own. The routine can feel mundane but the addition of each day creates a beautiful masterpiece that in the end we will call our own. I hope to listen to the voice of the ultimate designer as He allows my life to be encoumpassed by His hand. He is the potter-I lay myself on the wheel of His design. Through the fire and on the other side I will see the vessel He created me to be. In the meantime I choose to cooperate and see that He does make everything beautiful in His timing.
Using my pencil for His glory,
Krista

15.5 Years-the Miracle keeps Unfolding

Have you ever wondered about anything specific for 15 years? I have but it was not a question that haunted me or even really nagged at my soul. When Will was younger it definitely did, but as he grew the worry subsided to the "Wonder" years.

William Timothy our middle child was born severely premature 15 1/2 years ago. He weigh in at 26 oz. Most canned drinks have more substance to them than my Sweet William did at birth. His little body dropped down to a tiny 19 oz. as he fought for life. He had many issues but one by one Jesus has laid them to rest, most by the age of 5. Just this past week we got to lay my "wonder" thought into the book of miracles for my big strong son. Will had Retinopathy of Prematurity. Which means without intervention he would have been blind, with intervention we didn't know how much of his vision field would be reduced. In simple terms the doctors always told us because of the laser eye surgery he would not have much peripheral vision.  As his 16 birthday approaches we decided a field of vision test would probably be a good idea since to drive safely you need to have some peripheral vision. Will came out of the testing room and said "Wow that was boring." I thought "Okay, so if it was boring how much of the lights did he see?" We went back to the room and the doctor brought in the test results. Both of his eyes peripheral vision fall in the NORMAL RANGE!  The doctor was amazed. I was grateful. God is good. I can't wait to see what this walking miracle is going to accomplish with his life. When he was dedicated at church this verse was paralleled with his life Zech. 3:2 He truly is a brand that has been plucked from the fire.

Penciling tonight to give Jesus thanks for ALL the good things He is doing and has DONE!

 Zech. 3:2 "The LORD said to Satan, "(The LORD rebuke you, Satan! Indeed, the LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?"
