About eight years ago I began a cross stitch project that was a bit ambitious. It was a wall hanging of a palm tree. After working on it several months and getting only a few leaves done, I put it away. I had all intentions of picking it up again, but I was busy with a new baby, a five year old, a house to keep, and a full-time job.
Within the last year I pulled it out of the corner and began working on it again. As the features began to take shape, I became more excited and eager to complete the project. I'm happy to say that I put in the final stitch last week!
Just like my craft project, don't you think that when God begins a project (or good work) in you that He is excited from the first moment you acknowledge Him? I believe He has joy watching the projects take shape as we work to do His will.
Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;
How is your project going? If you need to pick your project back up, go for it! If you are unsure of your project, search for it! Whatever God has given you to do, He is with you every step of the way - encouraging you, assisting you, consoling you and covering you with His love.
