I was in Duncan on Monday visiting a friend. We went to Dairy Queen for something to eat. Dairy Queen in Duncan has planters along the booths with white stones in the planters. Being a mature adult waiting for a meal and sitting next to loose rocks I decided to build with them. What does a mature adult build with rocks? An Inuksuk (Innuit spelling).I went on the internet today to try to figure out how to spell Inuksuk as I could not find a spelling in my dictionary. I also found out a little about them. Each stone is balanced and supported by others.
You provide balance and support to others. You are important! You are here for a purpose; your life has meaning. Why? Because that is the way God designed you.
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." Psalm 139:13-16

Hey Kevin,
May I be so bold as to say that IMHO your posts seem to suggest you are experiencing some time in the wilderness or your bones are dry.
I'm excited to read this post because as I was reading it I could see you and what I know of you.
God is a sovereign God and your search for definition appears much bigger than the word.
God's breathing life into your dry bones?
You provide balance and support to others.
You are important!
You are here for a purpose; your life has meaning.
Why? Because that is the way God designed you.
He knows exactly where we are and what we need.
Remember in Ezekiel 37:5
Prophesying to the dry bones!
37:5 I will put breath in you in you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
(In Gods power literally and figuratively, for when we are dry or in the wilderness it can seem like we are the living dead)
What a mighty God we serve, omnipresent!!
Not long ago I had a conversation with someone who was quite clear they were in the wilderness, I reminded her in His darkest hour Jesus washed the feet of His disciples.
In the wilderness He is still there, let him LOVE you, guide you teach you, encourage you and strengthen you for that which he is preparing you.
Maybe this is nota time for people, maybe God is saying this is MY time with you KEVIN!!!??
Praise His Name Brother, you are never alone, and at times He wasnts you all to Himself because:
You provide balance and support to others.
You are important!
You are here for a purpose; your life has meaning.
Why? Because that is the way God designed you and:
He Is indeed Faithful to finish what He has started!
PS
Good to see you at prayer and Tehillah ;-)
Thank you for your concern Aylynn.It is appreciated. The purpose of the post was to encourage others. But your comment got me thinking. Yah, maybe I am dry, maybe I am in the wilderness. But yes, He does have a plan for me and He is faithful. If it is one thing He has shown me time and time again is that He is Jehovah Jira, My Provider.
Kevin - I must say, you are so talented!! I am impressed by your artistic class!
