Work in Progress!

"And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it
to completion at the day of Jesus Christ." Philippians 1:6

There are days when I wish I had a tshirt with a big yellow warning sign that said "work in progress."

Some days, I feel like I'm really getting it. I don't struggle with my attitude as much and I feel like my mouth isn't getting the best of me.

Then of course, there are the "work in progress" days... and while every day is really this way, some days seem worse than others! The days when I stick your foot in my mouth, or you just let my mouth get away with me... or I have a bad attitude... or I let other people's problems get me down...

Either way, it's great to know, as Paul says to the Philippians, "he who began a good work in ME will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ."

I'm not perfect and God doesn't expect me to be. What I think is important is that forward motion, while the work won't be finished till the day of Jesus Christ, it's to be continully in progress. We're a part of that progress... while it is the work of Christ within us, it is our responsiblity to let him work and to take action when we're led (or to NOT take action, when we're told to chill!) by the Holy Spirit.

So, I'm happy to be a work in progress... shoot, I'm just happy that there's progress!

Can I get a witness? :)
