Still In the Potter's Hand


Yesterday while adjusting the settings in my gmail account, I came across the link to this blog in my signature line. I had forgotten about this place I had carved out to share my thoughts of being shaped by the Potter. 

Truth is I haven't stopped writing, albeit not as much as I used to. I have tons of journals with poetry, thoughts, tidbits and I have several (many) other blogs. The common denominator is I have not been consistent on any.

Coming across this blog, with my last entry being 9 years ago was timely. God makes no mistake. I needed this in the face reminder that the Potter is still working on me. Yesterday, I wanted to repay evil for the evil that was being meted out to me. I wanted to go to a far place and not answer my phone because I wanted him to feel what it feels like when he does that to me. I buckled over and prayed and cried because my heart wanted to do that, but the Holy Spirit said no my child, you are growing from that. Take this forward step. 

So I am still in the Potter's Hands. Now more than ever, in 2020, the first pandemic I have lived in- Covid19, I can't afford to not be in His hands. 9 years ago I was a struggling wife, today I am a mother in a singleheaded household raising my son, God's gift to me. Life has changed significantly. 

What to expect?

I plan to port some of my writings, one's that fit with the blog's theme, into this space. 

I may eventually merge some of the other blogs. Some are with pseudonyms, maybe it's time to speak my truth with my face attached.

Lessons from My Garden

 Originally posted August 16, 2020 on my Instagram account. My vegetable garden really struggled this year. Many of the seeds I had sown did not flourish. With Covid-19 on our heels, I was a bit hesitant to visit the garden centers for seedlings to add to my dying stock. I eventually went and got my callaloo and peppers. But alas, those struggled as well.                                                            I remember talking to a friend of mine and my dad and sharing my concern s. I suspected it was the soil. My dad helped me to expand the garden bed but we mixed some clay in with the  new soil. Clay was tight. It wasn't "breathable". I said I was going to pull them all up and start over. But both said, no let them go through the season. I took their advice. Look at this bounteous harvest. From this garden I have blessed a family, friends, neighbours and the food  bank.                                                                          Lessons learnt: 1. We d

Yet Will I Trust Him...

Have you ever felt like you are having a "Job moment?"  I sat today listening to an audio Bible on the Book of Job and as the reading progressed I couldn't help but feel like I am having a "Job Moment."  For the past month and over I have been faced with some very trying times. The way the situation unfolds is so similar to Job's. As soon as I think I have heard or seen the worst, then comes another 'messenger' with even more disheartening news. And like Job I know there are those who are on the sideline persecuting me for the situation that I find myself in. I find though that through the hurt and the pain, there is a peace that has been hovering about me. It's a hard one to explain, no wonder the Word says He will give us peace that passeth all understanding. And as this peace infiltrates my being- I realise it is allowing me to trust Him more.  I don't know how all this will end. But I do know that once I give my pen to God and a
