It was a noteworthy event as I finished off my first ball of scrap yarn, a fuzzy royal blue. Granted, I hadn't started out with a large amount, and I still have other shades of blue, but it made my progress seem more tangible.
It can be hard to see something come to an end, to see a door closed. Right now I'm contemplating the close of a chapter of my life - a sixteen year chapter. It's not an easy decision to make. With one hand I'm clinging tightly to the tail end of that yarn, unwilling to give it up with the hope that I could stretch it out longer. God, I've been serving You in this area; is it really Your will that I let go? But my other hand is prying open its clenched grasp, saying, it's time to move on. God might have something else planned for you.
I picked up a new yarn for my next square as I prayed for wisdom and direction in this matter. If this yarn ends, I know He'll provide another one for me to start on.
Proverbs 16:9 "In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps."
