Jimmy Potters Studio

Today, I visited Jimmy Potters Studio.  I went with the intention of getting a taste-test of what goes into the creation of pottery, but I left with so much more.  

I had the opportunity to meet and learn a little about the founder and owner of the studio, Jimmy.  He's opened two locations and intends to open another.  

It is important to constantly feed your motivation and inspiration tank.  Meeting Jimmy and seeing the product of his passion and hard work was food for the soul.  I don't know his full story, but I know enough to deter any thoughts of settling for a mediocre life.  

It is possible to work your gifts and allow them to "make room for you."  I feel like God strategically places people along my path as vision-checks for me.  He allows me to see people walking in purpose and passion as a means of reminding me that IT IS POSSIBLE.  

IT...

IT

BELIEVE AND DO...

REST AND PREPARE...

CONSTANTLY FILL YOUR TANK WITH LIFE...

KEEP BELIEVING AND CONTINUE TO DO...

WATCH FOR, EXPECT, AND EXPERIENCE GREAT FRUIT...

More than a Conqueror

Pieces Behind the Scenes

Much of our lives happens behind the scenes
Before the curtain opens
Below the surface
In the roots
Inside the vines and branches

Production
Fruit
Masterpieces
Are just a part
A piece
Pieces of me that I share

But the other pieces
Pieces of me
The piecing of me
The peacing of me

Lay in less visible places and spaces at times
They lay not in the ends but in the middles

Poems and canvases being chapter cliff-notes

Today, however,
Today I write about the middles

The in betweens

The gap between thought and articulation
The gulf between experience and understanding
The river of reflection
The time in between revelations

Life in between
Processes in between
Growth in between

Preparation
Learning
Sitting
Walking
Reflecting
Growing

The pieces in between

Pieces seen and unseen
And the piecing together
Of those pieces
Behind the scene

All a part of me
Fitting together
To make the whole of me
