A Song of Thanksgiving

Lord I am so grateful for the transforming work You have done in my incredible Husband. I am grateful for all the days we have had. Sharing all the good, the bad, the ugly. We have only overcome, because of You God. Thank you for all of you tender mercies that are new everyday. Thank you for giving us breath in our lungs today. Thank you for this love that is steadfast and never failing. I am grateful for the family that You have knitted together. And for patching up our wounds and allowing them to heal. Thank you for adopting and claiming us as Your Own. Thank you God for giving Bentley a Dad that loves him. And is a mighty example to him. Thank you God for this life that I have taken for granted far too long. Please sharpen my family and use us to Glorify and Honor You God. No one above You. Keep our Faith steadfast in You Alone. You know we love You to our deepest cores. Thanks for exposing the darkness that we carried inside and bringing everything to light. Thanks for not leaving us where we were at, but rather picking us up and transforming our lives from the inside out. I love my Husband that encourages me in my walk everyday. I am undoubtedly inspired by the one You've placed over me and this family. Thank you God for all Your Blessings, even all the ones that go unsaid. You have restored our lives that we are unworthy to live. My Husband and I will always be in awe of Your Glory and Great Wonders! Now that we have tasted the Life of Your Living Water, we will never be the same. I long for the day of Your Return and the moment that sin won't ever get in the way again. I want to remain in Your Peace that Passes All Understanding. I cannot wait to be held as a babe by our Father in Heaven and feel His comfort and love shining down on me again. Feel the innocents that's restored inside His Powerful, Mighty Hands. Feel the Safety and Joy in being a child of His. I long for the day that we return back to our Creator Who knitted us together in the womb. The One Who Knows our Names. Thank you God for everything. Above all else, thank you for Your Love. It is Steadfast, Present, and Infinite. The only Being Consistent in a world that isn't. My heart that was Created by Your Hands beats for You above everything. And I am grateful to know the Love of our Father, how vast is the depth of it?! I know no end. Thank you for the life You have given. Thank you for my Husband. And the family You have knitted together. Thank you for teaching us what love is. Beginning with Your Son. In Yeshua's Name, Amen.
Jeremiah 18:1-17

At the Potter’s House

18 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 “Go down to the potter’s house, and there I will give you my message.” 3 So I went down to the potter’s house, and I saw him working at the wheel. 4 But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him.

5 Then the word of the Lord came to me. 6 He said, “Can I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does?” declares the Lord. “Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, Israel. 7 If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down and destroyed, 8 and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned. 9 And if at another time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be built up and planted, 10 and if it does evil in my sight and does not obey me, then I will reconsider the good I had intended to do for it.

11 “Now therefore say to the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem, ‘This is what the Lord says: Look! I am preparing a disaster for you and devising a plan against you. So turn from your evil ways, each one of you, and reform your ways and your actions.’ 12 But they will reply, ‘It’s no use. We will continue with our own plans; we will all follow the stubbornness of our evil hearts.’”

13 Therefore this is what the Lord says:

“Inquire among the nations:
Who has ever heard anything like this?
A most horrible thing has been done
by Virgin Israel.
14 Does the snow of Lebanon
ever vanish from its rocky slopes?
Do its cool waters from distant sources
ever stop flowing?[a]
15 Yet my people have forgotten me;
they burn incense to worthless idols,
which made them stumble in their ways,
in the ancient paths.
They made them walk in byways,
on roads not built up.
16 Their land will be an object of horror
and of lasting scorn;
all who pass by will be appalled
and will shake their heads.
17 Like a wind from the east,
I will scatter them before their enemies;
I will show them my back and not my face
in the day of their disaster.”
