After 10 years of being "saved" It has only been the past 2 years that really seem to be a time of growth in my life. I am Jeremiah 18:4-6. It seems the Potter's wheel is my home. Though it can be painful and I often wonder if it will ever end I have learned to embrace where I am at and what God is desiring to do in my life. I have three kiddos from a marriage that ended the summer of '06. They are a real blessing in my life and God has been gracious in that I get to spend more than half the time each week with them. How awesome! I enjoy music a lot. Some of my fav bands include Third Day, Sanctus Reel, Casting Crowns, Skillet, Three Cord Wonder (local Colorado band) to name but a few. Basically anything that pushes the status quo of mainstream Christian thinking appeals to me. I am an artist. (That probably explains a great deal.) I love to work in acrylic inks but also enjoy oils, graphite, watercolors and plain 'ole acrylic paint. It's been a long journey trying to apply my art towards Christ and things that would bring Him glory. It's coming around though. I am also learning to lean heavily on God before I come to the end of myself. Seeking Him before I've run myself to the ground has been a life changing event. Still learning that one though! I've found that I do let go a lot sooner. My life verse (w/o a doubt) is Psalm 46:10 "Cease Striving (be still, rest) and know that I am God"

Saved at around 25 years old. Found myself thirsting and learned a lot. However I failed to apply that knowledge. God was patient with me. After 11 years He called me to attention on my knees. I was Sweetly Broken. He was then able to bring about the changes He desired in me. I made the turn but found that all I thought I needed was gone. Broken, humbled and confused I cried out for answers. None really came. No writing on the wall. No voice in the night. Silence. This is where I began to learn what it means to Praise Him in the Storm. To count it all joy when I encounter various trials. To finally cease striving and just be still before God. I wish it were less painful but I also know God has done what He knew was needed. I've often prayed that He would make His will so apparent to me that it was obvious (I'm a little thick headed wink-wink) and that He would do whatever was necessary in order to make me into the man He desires me to be. And here I am. On my knees spinning around on that Potters wheel like I'm at a carnival!
