I'm okay with being a piece of clay!

Diamonds, it is easy to make excuses and it is easy to feel sorry for yourself but you have a living hope. With the start of a new day, there you will find the unfolding of brand new mercies blooming right before your eyes. Take this as an advantage and rise to the occasion of God's will for your life. Ask Him to continue to mold you and shape you into the masterpiece He already sees you as....now ask Him to help you see the vision He sees when He looks at you as a finished product made by His hands.

Don't count yourself out because the process is uncomfortable or because things didn't go according to your idea of a perfect plan.

Ask the Lord to fill in the missing pieces with his perfect presence while grooming you into the servant leader you are meant to be. The servant leader He is molding and making you to be for His glory.

Remember, pottery is a messy product. Don't be fooled by the finished product sitting on the shelf. That piece of pottery began as clay and water. It also had to go through the fire under the observation of the Potter. In the Potter's hands, it's okay to be a piece of clay!

Prior to that, I could only recall seeing my brother the night of the fire  in January who accompanied me in the ambulance while being transported to what was then called UMDNJ in Newark, NJ. On that Ash Wednesday, I can remember seeing both my grandmother and my mommy sitting in my hospital room. Grandma holding a can of Pepsi, and mommy doing something with my feet, lol. Probably clipping my toe nails. There is also that taste of chicken broth or soup I will never forget fed to me intravenously along with other fluids to sustain me while I was in a coma. Its been 16 years fr...

Know why...

Diamonds, Always question why you are so quick to do for others. I personally used to deal with rejection issues and often extended myself out of fear of saying no because I had a warped view of relationships. I would agree to make myself available even when I couldn't because I was afraid to disappoint the other person I was seeking affection from and was fearful of running the risk of losing them. I heard a preacher say, "If you cant say no, then you are in bondage." You are in bondage because youre always at the object of your affections beckoning call or enslaved to them even if they are not being manipulative or abusive. Youre fear of losing them or being rejected will keep you in bondage and never experiencing the liberty and the right to say no. Saying no especially when you cant is not bad at all. Saying no never puts you in a bind when you really dont want to do for a person but decide to do so because it looks good ln the outside but inwardly you dont really...
