Like Potter's Clay: Having Fun with the Monkeys

Welcome to our Blog!

Hello! Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to stop by our blog.
After some time off during a big transition, we have decided to open up the blog again to give interested friends and family a glimpse of what we're doing these days. We'll share snap shots, some kid funnies, stories about what we're learning, an occasional recipe and more. It is our hope that you will go away feeling caught up, as well as encouraged to press on in what you are called to.
So, again, thank you.
We hope you enjoy "Like Potter's Clay".

What's with the Title?

After much thought, we chose "Like Potter's Clay" because we think it describes our lives quite well. At times we have imagined the "perfect" life we think we should have, and we've been upset when things have not turned out that way. Slowly God has been teaching us and changing our hearts. (In Isaiah chapter 45, God asks,"Does the Clay say to the Potter, 'What are you making?'" He continues, "Do you question me about my children, or give me orders about the work of my hands?") We are learning to trust in His good plan for our lives, even when it doesn't look the way we originally thought it should. We are learning that even when we may be in a valley, or when things seem to have gone wrong, God can make good come of it and be glorified through it. ("In all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." - Romans 8:28)
We are clay in the Potter's hands. And we're beginning to like it that way.
