But now, O LORD, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand” (Isaiah 64:8).
I was always terrified to speak in public. When I learned that I couldn’t get my college degree without a speech class, I almost gave up. The Potter had other plans for me. I took speech, prayed for courage and graduated! The Potter used this class to mold me.
I attended an LWML meeting. I watched women working joyfully in ministry. They welcomed and encouraged me to use my voice to proclaim God’s love for all. Guided by the Potter and surrounded by encouraging LWML women, I found joy in serving the Lord and using my voice to share the news of His love for us!
