Trusting the Process: We are the clay and God is the Potter

Have you ever gone through a tough season that has broken you down? Was it scary? were you unsure of the outcome because what you saw in front of you was a mess and not a masterpiece yet? then I think we can talk stories today.  In this episode, I talk about the challenges that I have been facing in my marriage and how God was showing me that I needed to trust him to break down that which was not satisfying to him and rebuild something better.  Buckle up because we're going way back to the beginning and sharing those spaces that for me are some of the hardest things to admit on my show, but I believe it's a conversation that needs to happen for a lot of local women like me.   

The Flow of the Show

Main:  Breaking and Rebuilding

• Breaking it down and starting again
  • Jeremiah 18:1-6
  • my marriage 
• What we do during the breaking part matters
  • Jeremiah 18:7-10
  • turning from our sin
• Making things new, making a way through
  • Isaiah 43:19 
  • inwardly & outwardly
• Final thoughts: Do we trust God
  • Do we trust that God is the potter and we are the clay
  • I love how God can take us where we are, break us down, and rebuild us to something new. 

Scriptures

• Jeremiah 18:1-6: The Lord gave another message to Jeremiah.  He said, "Go down to the potterʻs shop, and I will speak to you there." so I did as he told me and found the potter working at his wheel.  but the jar he was making did not turn out as he had hoped, so he crushed it into a lump of clay again and started over.  Then the Lord gave me this message. "O Israel, can I not do to you as this potter has done to his clay? As the clay is in the potterʻs hand so are you in my hand." 
• Jeremiah 18:7-10:  If I announce that a certain nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down, and destroyed, but then that nation renounces its evil ways, I will not destroy it as I had planned.  And if I announce that I will plant and build up a certain nation or kingdom, but then the nation turns to evil and refuses to obey me, I will not bless it as I said I would. 
• Isaiah 43:19: For I am about to do something new.  See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness.  I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.
