Thought I'd VLog instead of Blog. =D

Sorry! I know my voice gets extremely annoying. =D And I have a weird accent that no one ever cared to tell me about. haha.

The Potters Hand

I enrolled in a ceramics class this term and it's been fun, but frustrating because who knew how hard it would be to mold clay? We started off with hand building projects, but now we've moved on to wheel-throwing. My teacher asked us to make ten 6-inch cylinders, in my attempt to make my cylinders I kept messing up. My clay would not stand and it kept falling over. I was getting upset with myself and I kept taking the clay off and throwing it into a big slab. I had an epiphany! In the same way the clay tumbles over and messes up, that's exactly how we are with GOD! We are always messing up and going in the wrong direction, but God's hand is always holding us and molding us. I can't imagine how often He gets frustrated molding us from the same lump of clay, but in the end it'll turn into a master piece. His grace is enough for me.

"Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use?" Romans 9:21

Sorry I know I haven't blogged, but I realize how much spare time I have, so this is where I'll be spending a lot of my time.

Faithful

This song says it all. I fail to see how much I hide behind a mask of being "ok" or "put together". I know I fall short of the glory all the time, but I know my King hears my call.

"Faithful" by Brooke Fraser

There's distance in the air and I cannot make it leave
i wave my arms' round about me and blow with all my might
I cannot sense you close, though I know you're always here
But the comfort of you near is what i long for

[CHORUS]
When I can't feel you, I have learned to reach out just the same
When I can't hear you, I know you still hear everyword I pray
And i want you more than i want to live another day
And as I wait for you maybe I'm made more faithful

All the folly of the past, though I know it is undone
i still feel the guilty one, still trying to make it right
So i whisper soft your name, let it roll around my tounge,
knowing you're the only one who knows me
You know me

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
Show me how I should live this
Show me where I should walk
I count this world as loss to me
You are all I want
You are all I want
