I am the clay

Does the potter not have the right over the clay, to make from the same lump [of clay] one object for honorable use [something beautiful or distinctive] and another for common use [something ordinary or menial]?
Romans 9:21

This verse never really sunk in before I started my journey. I came in here thinking that I am a polished diamond, but I walked into a world full of rough diamonds. It's been a life-changing process of becoming the original rough diamond that God wants me to be so that He can start shaping me into His caracter. Six days of intimate time with five strangers, sharing only love, because there is nothing more to share. Being able to share only who I am with someone was the hardest thing I ever had to do, because, I realized that I don't really know myself. The process of moulding started with tears under the stars, crying out to God to reveal His caracter in me. As gentle as He is, He is still moulding me in every way He possibly can to make me the vessle He wants me to be, He did not just by one try moulded me, He is taking me through a process. At the beginning God asked me if I am willing to be the clay for Him. Not really knowing what it ment, God revealed Himself to me in a day where for a whole day I was mixing sement. At one point I was about to just say I quite, I was tierd, my back was sore and spiritualy I just wanted to shout at God, but I kept quite and I just kept on working, it was as if I wasn't working in my own power anymore. I felt God phisically working through my body. God just reminded me that I am the clay- or in this case I might say, the sement. By mixing the sement God took me through the process He is currently taking me through spiritually. Sometimes it takes longer than other times to get the end product. Sometimes its to dry other times to wet. Sometimes more rocks need to be added to make the sement stronger and more firm. This is a hurtfull process, but it is all worth it, because in the end I am gaining Gods character in me.
