Some of the symptoms include:

1. Loss of direction

2. Foul vocal emissions

3. Amnesia of origin

4. Lack of peace and joy

5. Selfish or violent behavior

6. Depression or confusion in the mental component

7. Fearfulness

8. Idolatry

9. RebellionThe Manufacturer, who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing factory-authorized repair and service free of charge to correct this defect.

Part 2

As I sat there that day in my Dad's pottery shop making and forming my first piece of pottery and watching my husband do the same thing, I couldn't help but to think of the way that the Lord is molding and making us.
We are nothing but a big glob of clay on The Potter's Wheel.
Sometimes when His hands are upon us, they are heavy.
There is a lot of pressure or heaviness.
Like when we haven't been with Him in the quietness of the morning in a while.
Sometimes there is even some pulling and pushing in our lives.
We are being pulled and pushed at work, at home, in family life and other places.
Of course then there is that gentle water.
That feeling of the coolness in the morning as it flows over you as He molds your heart while you read and study His word.
There is the uncomfortable-ness of when He is working out the imperfections.
He may use a blade.
He may use a sponge.
He may use some water and a gentle finger for just that one particular area.
Then he gentle covers you with His water again and the imperfection is gone.
You continually stay on The Potter's wheel.
The amazing thing is that His hand never comes off.
His presence and touch is always there.
As the clay that is on the wheel, you have no control over what He chooses to do.
You have no control over what He has planned for you.
You love Him and trust Him.
He already knows what you are going to look like.
You will look like Him because we are created in His image.
No, being on The Potter's wheel is not easy.
It's not always gentle but you know that He loves you.
His touch is always there.
He doesn't take His eyes off of you.
He never leaves you just spinning out of control on the wheel.
One day we will be a finished product.
We will have been created to do His perfect will.
We will have been through the fire and will be PERFECT!!!!
Oh, how I can't wait for that day.
Are you on The Potter's Wheel? What is He doing while you are there? Do you feel as if you are spinning on the wheel out of control? Rest assured, His hand is on you and He will never leave you or forsake you!!!!!!!
Piece of Clay,
Pam K.

Part 1

I posted the other day the scripture about the potter's house and being in The Potter's hands.The weekend of July 4th, our family went down to my parent's house in Georgia. What a weekend it was. We didn't stop for a minute. We had so much to do and so little time. The weather was PERFECT that weekend. You may or may not know that my Dad makes pottery. He does great work. I have some of his pieces and just love them so much. I collect pottery coffee mugs but feel guilty for buying them because my Dad makes pottery, why would I buy someone else's stuff. Any way, we have always talked about getting me to do something on the pottery wheel in the pottery shop. Well, this was going to be my time. The cool part was that my husband, Bo got to do it to. Of course we have lots of pictures. IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!As I watched, my Dad start with just this very odd shaped piece of clay that he had taken from a very large slab and pounded it on the table a few times to get things going. We then placed it on the wheel. Then you have to use your feet to get the thing going and it's not as easy as it looks. Once it gets moving, you put the water on with your hands and the molding starts.It's messy but it feels so good on your hands. I watched him in a matter of a few minutes make a small spoon rest. They are so VERY neat. Then it was my turn. I put on the apron while he got everything ready then I sat down. I had seen what he had done and now it was my turn. I put on the water and it was just spinning under my hands. I listened as my Dad coached me through the entire process. GENTLE here. FIRM there. PULL and PUSH equally on both sides coming up the side of the bowl. Before I knew it....I had made a small bowl to put my paperclips in on my desk at work. BEAUTIFUL!!!!!My husband sat down and I watched as he made his container for his desk. The edge on his is flared and he even put a texture on the outside. It was amazing to watch it all come together in just a matter of a few minutes. AMAZING!!!!! Of course me being the Journal-er that I am (Thanks to Marsha and Peggy) this was a journaling moment if I had ever seen or had one.
As I close today, I hope you will join me back here tomorrow for "The rest of the story".....you will not want to miss this journaling moment.

Part 1

This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:

Jer 18:2 "Go down to the potter's house, and there I will give you my message."
Jer 18:3 So I went down to the potter's house, and I saw him working at the wheel.
Jer 18:4 But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him.
Jer 18:5 Then the word of the Lord came to me:
Jer 18:6 "O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter does?" declares the Lord. "Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.

Think on this today.....

WHEW!!!!! What a week!!!!!

Well, this has for sure been a week. Totally out of my office and working with an MD. Although, I can't complain because he is one of my all time favorite's to work with. I thought I would share a bit about this MD because of the fact that if you are looking for a Christian MD, they are sometimes hard to find, he would be the one that you would absolutely love. He will probably fuss because I am doing this and I didn't ask his permission.

His name is Dr. D. That is what we all call him anyway. I think we have done that since the day he arrived. It just kind of stuck. He even has a few patients that call him that. Anyway, his name is Dr. Delcambre. He has been and Ob/Gyn for years and is just wonderful. He is a hard worker and strives very hard to make sure that his patients get what they need. We have even had situations this week where we saw patients that we have been seeing for numerous years, delivered their children and when they come in, it's like visiting with a friend that you have known forever. We even saw one of our patients who was dealing with a separation and lots of other just "stuff". He spent an hour with her. How many physicians do you know that would be willing to sit and talk, encourage, listen and PRAY with you for AN HOUR!!!!! Yes, it may put us a bit behind and everyone is not in need of that but if you are, he is the man to come see.

We joke that he should be a midwife with MD behind his name. He is spectacular in a delivery room before during and after a delivery. He is patient, caring, nurturing, supportive, and encouraging. Of all the physicians that I have worked with he is the one that does NOT break down the bed. Mom wants to deliver on her side then that is what we do. Mom wants to to walk, stand or squat, that is what we do. He encourages them, relaxes them, and is just AWESOME!!!! He is the OB that delivered my Kaleb and if I could do it again, he would deliver the next. He is wonderful in an emergency situation. He doesn't raise his voice. He is not harsh with anyone.

So, all of that being said, I had the honor of working with him this past week while his nurse was on vacation. Of course I got NOTHING done in my office but that really didn't matter because I was working with Dr. D. Next week will be slammed in my Hole in the wall office but that's OK.

I hope you had a great week. I am exhausted but had a great week.

Minimal Living

Well, I mentioned the other day about "Minimal Living" and "M.O.M" (My Other Mother) left me a comment that really started me thinking. In the midst of all of the cleaning and moving this and that everywhere I really started wondering......
What can I do without?
Can I do without....
This HUGE drawer in my kitchen FULL of kitchen gadgets?
The overwhelmingly LARGE amount of shoes that I have?
The MASSIVE amount of "trinkets" that I have?
The years worth of just "Stuff" that I keep because I THINK I might need it.

Marsha told me once of her trick that she does. If she buys something new, something old has to go. So, if I buy a new shirt, an old one gets tossed. Same thing with shoes and dresses and everything else. I like the idea and really trying hard to work on doing it. It is a lot harder than you think. I have so many clothes and so many that I look at and wonder...."What was I thinking!!!!!" I go into my closet as often as possible and get a bag together to donate. Haven't worn it in a year....it goes. So far, I have cleaned out a lot of just stuff but I still have a long ways to go and a lot to go through.
I think this weekend will be the weekend to get into the small storage closet at the condo. I opened the door the other day and almost had a stroke!!!!!
I will have to take pictures as we go through things and get rid of them. It will be interesting I am sure.
I cleaned out my pantry the other day and I was so embarrassed. I had kept every plastic container that I had emptied. Cool Whip, Sour Cream, Cottage Cheese, Butter dishes. You get the picture. I am sure that you have NEVER done that before right???

So, now that I am totally inspired, I shall clean out and clean house......My husband will probably will be VERY happy but it will be a lot of work. Question is.....how many T-shirts can he get rid of???????
Stay Turned
LET THE CLEANING BEGIN!!!!!

Wednesday is here and BOY WHAT A WEEK!!!!!!!

My oldest, Kyle is moving in with Bo and I. We are so very excited about having him. Of course, Little Man is not really aware what is going on but knows that for some strange reason, the extra room in the house is all of the sudden clean.....Hmmmmmmm
We have moved stuff, stored stuff, cleaned out and thrown stuff away. Where in the world did it all come from in the first place???? Funny how we become such pack-rats. I think that I am becoming a "Minimalist", you now those that don't want the clutter? I think I would really like that but at the same time with a 3 year old in the house and his love for matchbox cars, that is not likely to happen anytime in the near future.
At one point in my life, I had lost a massive amount of weight and when I had made the decision that I was NOT going there again, I cleaned out my closet. Let's just say that Good Will was VERY happy to see me that day with approx 7 trash bags of clothes. Going back was not an option. I still live by that rule and if things start getting to where they don't fit, it's an easy reminder to not go there because I have NO clothes to fall back into.
What do you do when you reach a goal with your clothes?
Do you keep them?
Do you put them in storage?
Give them away?
Kyle is moving in slowly but surely, bringing things a little at a time. He appeared last night with this huge laundry basket. Of course it was FULL!!!! and probably weighed a ton. He came in the front room and we all just died laughing at the fact that he brought over all of his dirty laundry and no clean clothes. He proceeded to separate them and put them in the washer. Of course we joked about that for a while. It's going to be great having him around the house. I am just thrilled. It's been a long time!!!!! I have missed him more than he knows.
Things are on the change at home. Things are getting busy again with Mothering The Mother. I have a client in October, possible November and a possible for February. Busy Busy Busy but that is always good and very exciting.
Hope your day is good and we will talk again soon.
