I am a coffee bean. Coffee beans need to be roasted and ground before they become of any use to their Master. A bean must not remain whole on it's own but ground finely and then it becomes an appetizing aroma especially when the Living Water is poured upon it. My goal is to be a pleasing aroma to my God and Savior.

Cleaning
Does anyone really like to clean? If you said, 'yes', you are twice the woman I am. I am really bad at getting motivated to clean, I like a clean house but I would like to wave a wand and presto, it would be done! It pleases my husband to have that clean house, but it just gets messy and dirty right away again! All the work that is done can be destroyed in a manner of minutes! This got me to thinking. What if God felt the same way about my life. If God thought, 'Sure, I can forgive her sins, but in a manner of minutes its all messy and dirty again due to sins, so I'm not going to do it.' But our God is full of grace, abounding with love for me. Thanks God! Thanks for not giving up on me and leaving me to drowned in my mess! Well, I better go - I got some messes to clean up!

Hey Steph! So glad to see you're bloggin! I'll love keeping up with you guys this way. And no, I can't stand to clean. Let's hope you've inspired me with your post. Ok, on to the mountain of laundry...
I'm thankful with you that God doesn't treat my sins like I treat the messes around my house, cuz I hate to clean, too, and will do just about anything to get out of it until it gets so bad that I can't stand it anymore. Care to share that magic wand when you get one?
