Day 1-ceramic pot



It's day 1 of my challenge and I have to say, I woke up with a bit of anxiety. I was thinking, "this is going to be a long 3 months." But then I started to think about what God is going to teach me through this. It also helped me by logging onto my FB B(buy)N(nothing)N(new) group and reading all the encouraging posts from all the ladies doing this challenge with me.
I have been wanting to pot my own herbs and after my MOPS group today, it was hard not to just stop at walmart to get the ceramic pots I have been wanting. But I didn't and instead posted something on FB to my MOPS group asking if anyone had any sitting around the house they were willing to sell. Well, better then that, someone is giving them to me for FREE!!! AMAZING! I smiled and knew God was working and molding me.  As I am sitting here writing this, I am reminded of the verse  in Isaiah 64:8 that says, "Yet, O LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand." How funny how God works that the first day of my challenge, I a have to try to find a used clay pot. I know this is going to test and stretch me but I am so excited to see the results.
