He's Still Working On Me......

In previous blogs I have mentioned that I have two precious little girls. They keep me on my toes daily. Brooks and I are constantly teaching them and showing them the difference between what's right and what's wrong. We have to work with them daily on things that are necessary for them to learn and grow. Things like don't touch the hot stove, don't climb on the table, don't hit, don't pull hair, don't play with scissors, don't talk to strangers, but do share your toys, be respectful, clean your room, play nice, etc.... It seems our work is never done.


Today as I was loading the dishwasher I became quite frustrated with my 18 month old. As I was carefully loading the dishwasher, she was carelessly unloading it. She grabbed everything she could get her hands on, including the knives. No matter how many times I told her no and gave her a little swat she continued to take the dishes out and play with them. My patience was growing very thin.

In the midst of this aggravation God suddenly dropped an old song that I used to sing in Sunday School in my heart. Here are the words. They are simple, but oh so true:

"He's still working on me. To make me what I ought to be. It took Him just a week to make the moon and the stars, the sun and the earth and Jupiter and Mars. How loving and patient He must be. He's still working on me."


Funny how God uses random things to get our attention. Today he used a silly little song I haven't heard in years to get mine. The moment I began singing that song I realized that the same holds true for me. He IS still working on me. There are things that He has been working on for years and there are things that He has only begun working on. Truth is that even though there is pain in growth, I hope He never stops. Because when He works, I learn and learning brings change and change brings growth. If I am not growing than God is not working.

I wonder where He'll take me next??? I can't wait!!! But in meantime I hold onto this truth:


"Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus; And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God." Philippians 1:6, 9-10
