I Am Clay
A Personal Journey with God, The Potter

Book Cover & Preview Text
I’m all alone upon my bike,
There’s nothing I can say,
I’m only here alone with God
On this blessed summer day!
The road continues on its way
A treat in each new bend
I can’t believe the meadows, valleys
Creeks, the hills and wind.
Then the road winds through the pass,
Out on to prairie high,
I see miles of endless beauty
Cast before my eyes!
All around me, splendor!
As far as my eye can see!
God whispers to my heart and soul,
“Be all that you can be!”
I see you here and know your thoughts,
I feel your inner pain.
But rest in me dear child of God,
And you will be whole again.
Don’t be afraid to take a chance
Or speak what’s on your heart
Don’t be afraid to wander,
Or make a fresh new start.
Don’t be afraid to lean on Me
I’m always here for you
Don’t be afraid. Don’t hold your love.
I’m here inside of you.
I created all this majesty!
All this in front of you!
I breathe the wind and know your heart,
I know what you can do!
Know I know you.
I see you now and see you down the road.
Know I love you.
Know I’m here to bear your heavy load.
Look ahead to new horizons,
Your eyes can’t see that far.
But mine are better,
I can see you then and where you are.
So live your life and think your thoughts,
And feel the love inside.
Live your life and keep me close
Take me on your ride!
Oh the places we will go
As the joys of life unfold!
Oh the pleasures for your life,
If to my hand you hold!

About the Book
When I was a little girl, no one told me about God. No one told me that God loved me. No one told me anything of the Lord, faith or belief. Looking back now I realize how much I wish they had.
This is my story, the story of my personal journey with God. I came to a point in my life that I just could not go on with things the way they were. Perhaps you have wanted to know God more closely. I hope that in some small way, a poem, story, thought or prayer of mine blesses you. I pray that some part of my journey ministers to your soul.
