overhaul...

Several years ago...the story begins when I first had the opportunity to donate my time and talents to helping Brenda Walsh and her ministry. God is amazing on how He works...

Recently after going through some old papers in a box I found a cover letter that was written to one of the main Adventist publishing houses. The date was around 1995-96. This would have been 2 years out of college and working for a company in MN. In the letter I asking this company if there was a place for me, for my talents to help in the mission of saving souls. (What better way then in a publishing company, right??) I don't think I ever got a response back. Seeing that letter though reminded me on how IF I got what I wanted then that I would have not gotten the experience I had now and would not have been able to do what I do now... hmmm It makes you think. Remember GODS TIMING IS PERFECT. All these years later, God cultivated my talents, honed my skills to make me ready to serve Him in this way-now.

It was an amazing find, I am thankful for the insight for the reminders of who's in charge.

Even when we think we have done something "perfect"--- a few years later we decide it isn't so. Same can be said for websites. Recently I have decided to overhaul some of the first sites I did. One of the biggest undertakings was the www.brendawalsh.com website. This included a store. I don't know why I like to torture my soul, but one day it just hit me...I thought, "I really need to redo this site, clean it up, make it better." So I did. A total volunteer effort, spending about 3-4 solid days on it. It's finished and up and running. Much better than the first. I am sure in a few years I will think of something new.. and want to clean it up, but for now-I am pleased. It's kinda how God is with us, always working on us, perfecting us. Sometimes though, we just need a good overhaul.
