As a woodcarver I started on my way to chisel, scrape, cut and sand this useless chunk of disfigured driftwood I affectionately call "My Life". Meany years were spent cutting, scraping sanding and buffering, I became obsessed with the perfection of my "Masterpiece" and rigorously continued to chisel, scrape, sand and buff until I completely ruined the whole thing. Realizing there was nothing left for me to whittle anymore I asked God to bind it with his love....That's finally when the useless chunk of disfigured driftwood gracefully became beautifully disfigured and imperfect in God's Masterpiece...Blessed are you who are defeated and struggle, Blessed are you who ask God for help.
