Cookie Doh!

Just burnt the cookies again!  Forget this baking process, next batch I'm just eating the cookie dough.  

I often wonder why we try and try to make things better when we should just stick with the way they were originally.  I mean isn't cookie dough just as delicious, if not more than the finished product?  And if we do decide to try and make things better, why do we rush, why do we get side tracked and forget about the path we set out on? Things end up burnt.

God is no different. He loves us in our original raw, doughy form.  And as we veer from that, and he needs to bake us, doesn't he take his time?

The ingredients must be precisely measured, the oven must be the exact temperature, and timing must be perfect. Just like a baker and his dough, God has created in me a life that is simply not done baking.

I welcome you to join me in my journey to hear the "ding" of the oven and see how God can bake the "perfect cookie."
