In the Hands of the Potter

This past year has shaped and transformed me in so many ways...

I am so grateful for all the things I could experience and the process I went through!
It was and still is a journey of letting go and laying down of things, realising that I am not able to figure it out on my own, that I am broken and in need of His strength. It hasn't always been glorious and joyful, I have cried many tears and prayed many helpless prayers. But I know that it all led me to giving myself into the hands of the Potter - the One who knew me before the foundation of the world was laid, He who formed me in my mother's womb and knows my heart better than I.

This past year of being part of a House of Prayer, being in ministry and living in community has led me through many different seasons.

• I could experience what the daily life in a House of Prayer looks like - how to carry the vision in your heart in the day to day life and to be a reflection of what is happening in the prayer room.

• During that time my eyes were opened more for His kingdom reality. I overcame fears that had a hold on my life. I learned what it means to find joy through acceptance. I grew in trust for Him and allowed Him to touch my heart.

• I had the privilege of journeying closer to the heart of God together with an amazing group of people during a discipleship school. Doing life together, being vulnerable, hungering for more, loving each other, having synergy of revelation, laughing, crying, praying and worshiping together - simply being Family. An experience that left me excited and in awe of God's souvereign plan to take us deeper and to lead us to give all for His glory.

• I have been touched by His love, His radical love got a hold of me and made my heart long to love Him in return and to pour my life out as a pleasing offering.

• He put an excitement in my heart - for His word, for His kingdom and for the things of His heart.

• I had the honour of getting to know so many lovely people - people who have become dear friends to me, who lead me with love and patience, people who draw me closer to the Lord and who I look up to, people who it is just a joy to be around and who have become Family to me!

I experienced the loving embrace of the Father - simply holding me and knowing me, telling me that He has always been there.
I fell more in love with His Son - realising how far He went for me to be free, seeing more of who I am in Him and how everything comes down to Him.
I grew in my friendship with the Holy Spirit as I encountered the Peace that He brings - a Peace that surpasses knowledge. He is the One who gives me hope and who I heard saying that He will turn each one of my tears into a river of worship.

I am thankful for all the joy, revelation and excitement the past year brought and I have learned to embrace the hard times as I saw how they lead me deeper and closer to the heart of God.
I love the way the Lord led me here and how I can rest in trusting Him with my whole life, knowing that I don't want to go anywhere if His presence doesn't go with me!
I know that many people are waiting for me to start a "proper life"  and to stop to "waste my life". But I want to waste my life by pouring it out on the feet of Jesus.

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses Knowledge -that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. - Epesians 3:16-19

Be blessed with His amazing love!
