He is the Potter, I am the Clay

5/11/07
After spending about half and hour trying to figure how to do a new post here I go.....We have been in Tn. for a week and it has been just wonderful to be here and spend time with J. We were able to sit with C and D for graduation. J looked so beautiful but then she always does! We go back to NC tomorrow.....I look forward to working in the clay but will miss being here more....The Lord says go so I will go. Mike has gotten so much done here and the place looks really good. I am happy to get to go to Sevier Heights again tomorrow even if Hollie won't be preaching. I do miss the fellowship and teaching here. I am so thankful to the internet services. If you've not seen them it is www.sevierheights.org check it out ar 9:30 and 11:00 and 6:00 live services. bye for now.

God is so awesome! Today mom came to pottery and sat in a chair and watched Charlie and me do pottery. The shop is always intresting and lots of people coming and going. She seemed to enjoy the hussel and bussel of it all. John, the owner said his dog is being spayed tomorrow and they have to keep her indoors for a few days. They have been offered a baby goat to feed with a bottle every 4 hours and keep it inside at night. They can't keep it this week because of the dog and asked if we might be able to. Mom seemed to like the idea so I am trying to round up a large dog crate to keep it in. Nothing much cuter than a baby goat! Mom alreay seems happier. She went up stairs to visit with the Farley's and is going up for supper! She has eatten some and hope she will get engery back as she eats and moves around. Thnak you for your prayers. I can see the Lords hand in this day! So far I have not had a headache! More later! c

What a nice week I had. Mike and I house sat for Caorl and John the owners of M.D.I only had to take meds for headaches twice all week!!!!!! It was so wonderful to wake and be able to breath. Today we drove to Atlanta to get my mom for a visit with us. I am sorry to say she seems so very depressed. I hope it is just the meds and being tired. She took all her money out of savings and split it with us children and as I was telling her good night she said I am just not worth a
D- -. '0( It made me feel so bad for her and I just don't know what to do to help her. I continue to pray for her and that she will see the Holy Spirit in me. I pray for a servants heart and to keep a positive attitue. As I was reading the coments from my last post form two very special gifts from God in my life I had a warm feeling of love from them both. God used them to reach out and hug me tonight! God bless you for that. Good night! C

Feb. 14,2007 Carrie I tried to post your blog but couldn't remeber my password. You are the only one that reads mine so I will just tell you here. Happy Valentines Day! Love mom and dad!
Lots has been going on here. My mom fell and we are trying to get her to come here. She may be coming next weekend. So we have been getting the room you and J stayed in ready for her. A friend gave us a comfee rocker for her to sit in! Now we will see if my brother doesn't go and pick her up to bring her to Atlanta we will jus tgo down and get her. She really doesn't need to be alone. We hope she will feel comfortable enough to want to stay longer next trip. Perhaps you and J could come and visit I know she would love your upbeat company! How is life with you? My hot selling item besides Hot dirt is Brie Bakers. They are really selling. Well hope you have a wonderful day.

Today ia 2/1/07 but then you knew that! We had a beautiful snow and I slpet later than ususal. The down side of it is when I spend more than 7-8 hours here at the house I get a headache....Tonight I have a realy bad one. I don't feel well enough to go out and if I don't will it go away? I think I will go get gas in the car and doddle to see if it will help. Poor Mike it makes him feel so bad that the house makes me sick.

Tomorrow is the last day in January. I opened the kiln today to find that the dishes had made just not the color I was trying for. I got an e-mail from the gal I am making them for and she didn't like the sample I sent her and described the color that came out? I sent her a picture to see if she wanted them. If she does that will be a real God thing with all that went wrong and how long they fired and the color they ended up to be. I was wondering the lesson....It is to trust in him for everything even the color of your pots!
We had a wonderful blessing tonight. D come by pottery and really surprised us. It made our week! Ah we feel loved that he would drive that far out of his way to say hi. We wished we could have taken him out soe where but Brevard is closed after 8. The traffic lights blinks after 8....
Have a great day!

It is really cold today! M and I stayed up watching a kiln that was not firing right until 12:30. It shut down whit a error reading...not a good sign. Usually it would not be a big deal but it was loaded with a whole set of dishes I have been working on since December....Humm must be a lesson in this somewhere. I will let you know when I discover it. I am kind of thick when it comes to learning the lesson.
My mom fell in her home last week and ended up in the ER. Thankfully she didn't break anything. I pray she will come for a visit here so we can help her. Her good friend has been very ill and has not been able to check in on her. M.'s parents are doing ok. We are blessed to have good health and able to help at this time.
John and his wife are going on a trip at the end of the month and we are going to house sit for them. They have a newly remolded bedroom that is next to the creek. You can hear it with the windows closed! I am looking forward to doing something different. We can still check in with the Farley's it is only 4 miles away. Have a great week. SMILE God loves you and me!
