Potter + Clay

"You are the potter, I am the clay. . .." Change My Heart O' God







Lindsay Quay, a close friend of some women here at PIU (namely Anne and Laura) joined us on Monday night to lead an hour long devotion in the continuation of our arts devotions. Lindsay is a potter who has been at it for more than ten years. Listening to her apply Biblical principals to her work as she effortlessly crafted a large mug (or small pot?) had all of the ladies' attention. She even sent each of us home with a handmade heart ornament to remember that God is our potter, and we are His clay. He has to work out our kinks, imperfections, mold us, shape us, cut off the rough edges, and sometimes start us all over again. He strengthens us through the fire and makes us beautiful by design.


The night amazing and we're so thankful for women like Lindsay who have a heart for the amazing gifts God has given them, and sharing that with the students so that they may see many different gifts and paths.

2 Corinthians 4:6-8: For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness,"made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair"
