But I like the word picture you gave in your post. It's amazing how many real-world examples provide illustrations for spiritual truths. This is no accident. The Lord knows how to make us see - if we'll open our eyes.

My writing journey could be full of knotted yarn, unfinished projects, and hopeless tangles if it wasn't for friends like you who take the time to keep me straight.<br /><br />Thanks Edie!!!!Beth K.

I hate to take the time "away" from knitting to wind yarn, but as Lisa attested, you end up using the time later on.And the analogy with real life is just too strong to overlook!Edie Melsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03902312441667526147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-76529781259634500882011-02-21T11:25:46.451-05:002011-02-21T11:25:46.451-05:00I'm a knitter too, so I can relate to being on...I'm a knitter too, so I can relate to being one of those who doesn't roll her yarn. I didn't understand until I came to a tangle in the middle and had to spend most of my knitting time getting out the knot. I appreciate the metaphor to what God has in store for us.

I am reading Cec Murphey'...This was great Edie! I am reading Cec Murphey's book, "Knowing God, Knowing Myself". This morning I read his words concerning the sovereignty of God. He basically said, "I don't have to try to figure out what the next step is. That's God's job. My job is to wait before Him, listen to His whisper and then obey as He lights my path." Isn't that a wonderful way to say what we already know? It was like a light bulb moment...I don't have to figure out the next step. That's God's job.
