Inspired Reading

Just finished reading "As I Have Loved You" by Nicki Arana.  I love her books, she always has such a great and convicting message in her wonderful stories.  About 3/4ths of the way through this book I realized that trying to live the Christian life, and just letting God work through me are two entirely different things!  I used to use the illustration of "I'm a little teapot" to explain to others and myself how to let God work through us; ie, we are the teapots, (vessel) and God will pour into us what He wants us to do and be and say.
