1 Samuel 13; 1 Chronicles 2 & 3; 2 Corinthians 12

I hear ‘focus on Me and just get it done’...
I also hear ……well it’s all scary and negative....
Praying for this weekend and for my daughter and for my stinking small capacity....
Praying for my Uncle and his children, my cousins....
Praying for a servants heart and confidence....
Praying to keep from worrying....
Praying and crying out to You....

It all feels surreal you know…..so out of control and weird. But in the surreal is this sense of who’s really in charge…..so weird.

1 Samuel 13: 11 "What have you done?" asked Samuel.
Saul replied, "When I saw that the men were scattering, and that you did not come at the set time, and that the Philistines were assembling at Mikmash, 12 I thought, 'Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not sought the LORD's favor.' So I felt compelled to offer the burnt offering."


Saul, I go round and round about how I feel about him. Here he seems so innocent of wrong and yet Samuel comes down hard on him. Expectations I guess…..He was expecting Samuel at a certain time and when he didn’t come he took matters into his own hands……he reacted and Samuel points out just what he has done.
How many times do I have expectations and in their being unmet react. How to live confident in what and where You lead?? I ‘think’ that’s what I am trying to do this weekend…..


2 Corinthians 12: 9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."


Dang speaking right to me this morning.......

love the pic of the potter and the clay becky. I also felt along withyou the POW of Him speaking right to me so desire that and still so resist and back away from it at sametime need to pray for courage to wait on Him and when He shows up be still and listen wait let Him be as He si
