Creative uses for old things

Beauty comes in many shapes and sizes. Like an old, worn-out canoe being turned into a rich place for plants to grow. It once floated students and staff all over Dog Lake and now, it sits allowing others to gaze upon its vibrant beauty. I feel a bit like the canoe. I have been working with students for years. Now, the package looks a bit different. I am in unfamiliar turf as my venue is the school, not the church. I keep repeating vs like, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" and "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. . ." Right now I feel very vulnerable and at the same time know I am doing what I am passionate about. I need to not be longing for the exploration upon Dog Lake, just enjoying holding the beauty of flowers.
