Kelly,
I left a comment over at Visionary Womanhood, but I forgot to mention that I have a book entitled “Kept for the Master’s Use”, by Frances R. Havergal that she wrote based on her text for the hymn “Take My Life and Let It Be”. Have you heard of that book? It’s a real blessing to read, expounding on the thought that everything we have is a gift on loan to us by the Lord, and how we can use our hands, our feet, our voices, our moments, everything we’ve been given, for the Master’s use. Your post dovetails so well with the thoughts in that book!
