#iamthankful {Week 47}

This week I have lost my temper, lost control of my tongue, expressed frustration and fear, and turned it all back over to the Lord, asking Him to help me regain an eternal perspective. And He has. And I am grateful for His faithfulness to work on me, to work through me, and to work despite me. There is nothing greater in this life than to be used as a vessel for God's service. We just have to get out of our own way.
