As their trust grows, they will also find security, purpose, and meaning even in the most difficult seasons of life.

My Maker and Me: A Six-Week Bible Study of Becoming God’s Beautiful Vessel Have you ever watched a potter at work? Strong hands caress and move the clay, shaping it as it spins on the wheel. The potter leans close, eyes focused, applying just the right pressure to bring something beautiful to life. That’s where my writing journey began — watching my first pottery demonstration and hearing the potter share the treasures he had discovered about God at that wheel. God had revealed Himself through the art and process of pottery, opening the potter’s eyes to see His intimate work in his life and the great value God saw in him. As I listened, something stirred deep inside me. I wanted to know God like that — intimately, personally, as the Potter who shapes and molds my life. Within days, I was sitting in the potter’s class, craving to experience God in that same way. The potter guided us through every stage of creating pottery — from dry clay, to shaping damp clay on the wheel, to firing and glazing. Each week, I carried what I learned from class into prayer, asking God to reveal Himself and show me how Scripture mirrors the process. Just as the potter shapes the clay, God shapes us into His beautiful vessels — molding us through seasons of pressure, waiting, and refining.

My Maker and Me was born from the revelation of Isaiah 64:8: “But now, O Lord, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all we are the work of Your hand.” Through this study, women will discover the heart of the Master Potter who is intimately at work in their lives—shaping, refining, and transforming them into the vessels He created them to be. A Season of Waiting and Shaping One of my favorite sections of the study is Week 4: The Master’s Design. It explores how God uses waiting seasons not as wasted time, but as sacred shaping time. Even in the waiting, God is still working—molding and strengthening us to become His beautiful vessels. Much like a potter allows the clay to rest before the next stage of forming, God allows us moments of stillness to prepare us for His next move. In those seasons, even when we can’t see or feel His presence, He is working—always with intention and love. Writing this study wasn’t easy. God allowed me to live many of the lessons He was teaching me. I had my own moments of testing, trial, and surrender. Yet in every challenge, He revealed His faithfulness and assured me of His nearness. An Invitation to the Journey My prayer for My Maker and Me is that women everywhere will experience what I did—a deeper awareness of God’s hand at work in their lives. Whether you’re in a season of stretching, refining, or resting, I believe this study will help you see how the Potter is crafting something beautiful in you. Come join me on this journey of becoming God’s beautiful vessel.

Interview with the Author

Why do you think the topic of your book is important?

My Maker and Me teaches about God as our Potter and how He works with the clay to shape us into the person He created us to be. The study began when I watched a potter at a local university demonstrate his craft and share how God had revealed Himself to him through the process of working with clay. That experience stirred my desire to understand more, so I took the potter’s class and began learning the art with my own hands.

Through both Scripture and hands-on practice, I discovered a beautiful picture of God’s character—His nearness, His intentionality, and His love. The truth that we are shaped by holy hands, designed with purpose, and continually formed through every detail of our lives is both deeply biblical and deeply needed. Understanding God this way transforms how we see Him, how we see ourselves, and how we view the circumstances He uses to shape us.

Why do you think this topic is needed?

Women, in particular, wrestle with issues of value and identity. We often determine our worth by circumstances—how others treat us, what we’ve walked through, or how we compare ourselves to others. From the beginning My Maker and Me meets that struggle head-on by grounding women in the truth that our worth is established in Christ.

In Week One, the study lays the foundation of building our lives on Jesus rather than feelings or circumstances. From there, the teaching unfolds how God uses trials, pressures, and painful seasons as part of His shaping process—not as evidence of distance or rejection. This message is crucial because when women know they are loved, treasured, and intentionally shaped by God, they walk through trials differently. They hold onto truth in the valleys, and they emerge stronger, with more Christlike character, and more deeply rooted in who God says they are.

What did you learn from writing this book?

Writing this book became its own shaping process for me. As I studied Scripture, practiced the art of pottery, and wrote each week of the study, God repeatedly reminded me that He is always present and always working something good in my life—even when I can’t see it.

I learned that nothing in my story is wasted in God’s hands. Every pressure, every waiting season, every moment I would have labeled as “difficult” became part of His forming process. Through writing My Maker and Me, God deepened my understanding that I am purposed for His honor. That truth has taken root in my own heart, and it’s the same truth I hope women experience as they walk through this study.

What is your favorite hymn and why?

Amazing Grace! How can it not be everyone’s favorite? When I was a little girl, my mama and daddy loved that hymn so much. I remember it playing from the built in speakers in our home. At that age, I loved it because they loved it.

But now I love it because I understand it. I understand the amazing grace I received through Jesus reaching down and rescuing me from a pit of my own sin, lifting me out, and setting my feet on the solid foundation of Himself and His love.

What is your favorite verse and why?

This is a common question but such a hard question, because I love Scripture so much. There are so many Bible verses I hold as dear to me for many different reasons. If I could only pick one, I would have to say, 1 John 3:1 is my overall favorite.

I love what it says about me, that I am deeply loved by God, so much He made me part of His family.

Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us,

that we should be called children of God!

1 John 3:1

However, it almost pains me to not include Jeremiah 32:17 that serves as an amazing remind of the power of the God I love and serve.

‘Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You.

Jeremiah 32:17
