The Potters Hand

Take a few minutes to view these and meditate on God and what He is trying to do in your life at this time. Worship Him and let Him refresh you.

God is setting us apart, drawing us to Him, to make us vessels of honor for His use.

Testimonies

Let me begin by saying that I am the mother of four wonderful children, but before I became pregnant with my last child my husband and I did a lot of praying about whether to have another child or not. I was happy with three children, but I wanted another child if it was God's will for our lives. Needless to say I ended up getting pregnant under circumstances that proved to me that it was indeed God's will for us to have our fourth child.

My husband and I were very excited about bringing a new child into our family. But near the end of my pregnancy I began to question what was going on in our lives at that time. You see after 9/11 my husband found out that he was going to be losing his job at the end of October. October was when I was suppose to deliver our fourth child. I was so confused and did not understand why this was happening to us. I knew for sure that it was God's will for us to have this child but this glitch in our lives was confusing me. How were we going to provide for our children and take care of the needs our our family? You see I just worked a part time job for my Dad.... I was mainly a stay-at-home Mom. Andy was the one who provided most of the income for our family.

Well, after the birth of our last child my husband did lose his job, and I felt as if I was floundering around in the dark, but God was with us through this difficult time and He took care of our needs when we could not. He provided all we needed and more. The light within me was there all the time. It was a tough time, but I definitely learned to trust God more through this experience. He gave me just enough light for the step I was on at the time.

I am thankful that even though I was fearful at times during this process, God was there loving my through it all. He is always with us... faithful to the end. Each day I am still learing to be more dependent on Him.... trusting Him for all my needs.

Just Enough Light


Welcome everyone! I am so excited that you have decided to follow what is happening in our Wednesday night class at Landmark Church of God. We are looking forward to what God is going to do in each of our lives during this study.


At our first meeting we had over ten ladies in attendance and we spent the class time sharing with each other what had drawn us to this study. We also briefly discussed the topic of the book we are going to be studying (Just Enough Light for the Step I Am On Trusting God in the Tough Times by Stormie Omartian).


It is my desire that this site will be a place where the classmates can share their thoughts about the study. I also want to invite those who are unble to come to the class to read the book along with us and post their comments about the book and what God is doing in their lives as well.
